It has been a very rough time for all of us due to the COVID pandemic that has been going on for the past year. Some of us are stuck at home, not able to go outside to enjoy the sunlight, some far away from their homes, and some were not able to come back because of the limited number of flights. We might feel very lonely at times, and will feel extremely unmotivated to be able to get ourselves up and continue to move forward. However, there remains this invisible friend that we might not be aware of that has always been here for us through this time, and that is music. Music is a super great way for us to feel in tunes with our emotions, and a super effective way to relieve stress.
Personally, I realized that I haven't been able to connect with any of my friends during this pandemic because I've been focused on making sure that I’m prioritizing my mental health over anything else, but they suggested that we all create a music playlist with our favorite songs so we would be reminded of each other's presence. Therefore, I thought of the idea of doing the same thing for our community! This playlist will act like a small reminder that we're all in this together.
I have decided to create a playlist of songs on spotify to connect everyone in the St.Marks community together, and I have started off with around 15 songs or so, please feel free to add in your favorite tunes and spread the love!
Here is the link to Spotify playlist.
