Playlist: When You’re Feeling Helpless
I have a lot of feelings. I know, I always have a lot of feelings, so this is nothing new. Lately, those feelings have been a lot more melancholy and panicky than usual. Sometimes there’s nothing more you can do than curl up in the fetal position under the covers. Sometimes you feel like your life is out of your control and all you want is quiet. Right now, what I want is to be in a dark room with my headphones and closed eyes. This is what I’ll be listening to.
