When I was a senior in high school, one of my friend’s passed away from a tragic accident. My friend and I decided to attend the funeral together for comfort and support. I picked her up early that morning to shed our tears over him, and after spending some time with the family, we made our way back home. We decided to turn on some music to lighten the mood, when a Modest Mouse song came on the radio- “We All Float On.” The two of us started bawling, but by the end of the song we felt we had healed, if only a little bit. We felt weightless. Life is short, and we’re all just bumping around in it. Its crazy how sometimes the universe gives you exactly what you need.
