We went to Toronto last week and saw an artist we discovered one day while looking for new music. Sometimes a playlist needs a good dump, and sometimes it just needs a new beginning. And three short years ago, we wanted a new beginning when we moved to Ottawa.

It’s hard for us to be in crowds and loud places, so a concert was outside our norm for things to do. But we also want to give ourselves those things in life that are special, like shared music from a cool artist. Neither of us wants to see a big production; we want the artist, and Tove Lo, a Swedish star, is an amazing singer and songwriter. Her music gives us emotions.

No therapy room. No big revelation. No attempt to fix ourselves. Just a trip together to see a concert and enjoy the experience.

We walked twenty kilometers that day, up and down Queen Street West.

I also found a good book. 

And perhaps that’s part of what I’ve been looking for all along. To find myself healing by just living, doing things with someone I love. Getting outside more than just my head.
