Clearing Out
You accumulate things if you’re not careful. Guilt, numbness, small resentments that harden if you ignore them. The standard solutions are all garbage—religion, therapy, meditation retreats with overpriced juice. I made a mixtape instead. The Hundred in the Hands, Ellie Goulding, Sarah Jaffe. Artists who know how to move something through you that won’t budge on its own.
Put it on when you’re alone. Dance if you feel like it, or just sit with it. No one watching. The music creates a space where the weight can finally shift. That’s the whole idea.
