Halloween is a great time to walk through darkness.
Many of us have been holding rage deep inside us for months now. Our grief may be shifting and morphing into panic and horror. We put on a polite face for our jobs. We stay brave for our kids. We put in the work, trying to fight for the world we believe in.
But we may have trapped a lot of pain inside that needs to be let out. We may need to just shout. And shake. And dance.
We are wandering into a dark night. We don’t know what the future will hold. And yet we stand. We go with our heart forward, and our love fierce. We are the protectors of the light, and we carry it with us always. The darkness just helps us shine brighter.
Through this wild month and all that is to come after Halloween (ahem—vote like your life depends on it), I hope this playlist can help you process and release all the chaos of the world, to direct that rage into purposeful action.
