Hello Sanity Vol. 10

I recently went on a surfing trip to zone out on everything and everybody. It has been hard to clear my mind and find peace, but it was all worth it. On the beach, I stood still while I watch the waves dance. I just stood there doing nothing, thinking about nothing, caring about nothing. It made me feel a lot of things I can’t find the words for.

You know how sometimes you have got no choice but to bask in an overwhelming feeling of something so good and so right, it cripples you and leaves you breathless in a very good kind of way? That’s how it felt.

That’s how I feel about music too. Because it’s true what they say, “Music is what feelings sound like.” Like I’ve said, music takes you to a particular time, moment and feeling, it’s just so powerful. That’s why I think one of the best gifts in life is the ability to make and appreciate good music.

Hello Sanity Vol. 8

When I got the new job, boyfriend congratulated me and said, “Hello sanity!” - Work, amongst other things, keeps me in my element. Before that, I almost died from over-thinking. True story.

Music, on the other hand, helps me embrace the sanity. For most people, music is their escape. Music is our gravity, as much as it is an escape. Music helps us participate in the reality we’ve been running away from. It maximizes life experiences, highlights the good and stresses the bad. It makes us human. It helps us feel life. Why do you think movies have soundtracks? Hello Sanity, here’s the 8th installment of your soundtrack.

Hello Sanity Vol. 7

I hope you don’t mind but, I made you another mixtape. The inconsistency in my post schedule would probably tell how inconsistent my schedule is, sorry for another late upload. 

The thing I love about mixing is that no matter how busy crazy life is, there are songs that will take you to feelings and moments, and experiences, outside your present drama. And this you have to thank for, songs bring you to that same exact feeling you’ve always cherished or to that feeling you’ve always wished you’d feel. It gives you a breather. - It goes the same with my random cover arts.

Hello Sanity Vol. 5

Hello weekend! Sorry for the late upload. It has been a long-short-week. The week was cut to 3 working days, yet the days were longer. And last night I got to sleep. But I wake up shortly because I had a nightmare dreamt about work. Hello overthinker. So anyway, here’s another one of infinity.
