Tense nerves, frustration, a sense of helplessness, dejection, laziness, anxiety, stress, apathy, greyness, nostalgia, confusion. In short, negative feelings accumulating day by day between endless lockdowns, work problems and situations that cannot be controlled. For a year now, I have started putting together all the songs that make me want to dance, jumping and waving my arms and head totally random, to avoid unnecessary complaints and reduce as much as possible any outbursts with the people closest to me. It resulted in a new playlist, called Dance It All Away, which is actually meant to help shake it all off. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but it’s always good to disconnect from everything and let yourself go for a while.

Dance without thinking about the movements and simply enjoy the moment, you won’t ever regret it.
