I think you should listen to Pitch Perfect’s “When I’m Gone” today
I’m late to the party, but this weekend I watched and loved the movie Pitch Perfect. New girl crush Anna Kendrick’s deadpan stare just reminds me of Tina Fey, and I liked the character she played. She knew what she liked and she worked to accomplish what she wanted to, even if she had to grit her teeth sometimes to get there.

I also used to work with music in the background, but I’ve stopped.I’m kind of liking the silence. It gives me time to think. Reflect on the events of my day. Look back on the decisions I made, think about what I need to do tomorrow. Just decluttering my currently feels like overloaded brain. I like to talk in a quiet space too. Nothing in the background, mostly just the air around, no loud music, distractions. Really listening to the person you’re with, and absorbing…
