Today is the day (and this isn’t an April Fools Joke) my blog is leaving tumblr and moving to its new host. It was great using this platform, but its time to let my website host me (if that makes any to no sense). See you there love bugs!

For the past 24 hours I’ve been listening to Sufjan Steven’s new album, “Carrie and Lowell” on repeat thanks to NPR’s First Listen. It’s a gorgeous and haunting album about Sufjan’s estranged relationship with his late mother. 

The album is officially released on March 31st. Enjoy this free stream in the meantime!
