Since I am (temporarily!) moving back to San Diego this week, I figured I'd bring an archived playlist out of retirement from my first move out west in 2015. This playlist was my way of feeling connected to my new home, adding music that my new friends suggested to me - good vibes only. I was 21 at the time, with no idea how to live on my own and secretly full of fear. I took everything day by day and with my brother's expert advice - I faked it till I made it. I am super excited to bust out of quarantine for a change of scenery on the golden coast; part of me definitely feels some parallels to my first move. I've been reading a bunch of articles on reintegration anxiety that have been resonating with me big time. How do you go from being locked up for a year with little to no social life to flying across the country and attempting a reset? I'm excited to share more of this experience with all of you and start the process of getting back to "normal."
In the mean time, enjoy this collection of songs from 2015. This playlist brings back memories from some of the days when I felt most free. *Picture yourself at the beach, when the idea of masks and a global pandemic would have sounded like a far-fetched joke.*
