For most of my six weeks away, I listened to one playlist (with stray albums and some tracks that aren’t available on Spotify). Since I hadn’t posted any mixes in recent memory—so dramatic—I thought I’d share that one with you. No rhyme or reason; just some tracks about leaving, some that relate to the places I went you in one way or another, and some that kind of describe the climate of my personal life at the time.
I will try to do a YouTube playlist, too, since Spotify—although I love it and do use it quite a bit—is, at times, a little lacking.
