So true confession time. Several years back, I was in a bad relationship. Like really bad. I’d moved out, basically gone running, but really, truly getting free was just as hard—maybe harder—than I’d expected. I was standing in my new, safe, all mine bedroom when I heard Florence Welch’s Shake It Out for the first time and it set off a bomb in my chest. I wanted to let go and dance, fling myself around, but I couldn’t, because I wasn’t free yet. And I swore I wouldn’t listen to that song again until I could dance to it without the devil on my back. It took months to wrestle that devil and disentangle myself. But I got the papers signed literally the day before I left on my first book tour, and I packed my suitcases listening to that track on repeat, crying, and twirling around my room like a fool. Tl;dr: Seeing Shake It Off on playlists makes me really happy.
