March Escapism Playlist

I am finding it increasingly hard these days to be present. Maybe, that is because the present moment has been set, for a full year now, against the same, dreary backdrop of a global pandemic. Or maybe it’s because, one year ago, I was living in Paris and every day so much of the world felt at my fingertips. Or maybe it’s because its mid-term season in my final semester of college and Charlottesville’s perpetual overcast makes this corner of the world feel smaller, makes the days feel shorter, makes possibility feel confined to the four walls of my one bedroom apartment. Either way, this is what I have been listening to in the many moments throughout the day I find my mind wandering.
