I am very determined not to doomscroll any longer. What a crazy beginning of year! I've spent most of the past few days just doing nothing but doomscroll, and that is bad! I do not want to do that any longer. For my own mental health, for my productivity, any of that. I have enough stress without adding reddit forums to it. So yeah, let's just talk about something else, shall we?
I have finished the first album I've been listening to this year. I mean, it's mostly for background while I'm doing journaling but like I said, I just want to keep track of it, nothing as serious as "this is an official review of an album by me" or anything of the sort. I wanted to feel some comfort these days (due to the aforementioned doomscrolling) so I went to music of my teenage years haha. Artists I've listened to many times when I was younger but haven't at all for the past, uh, decade? I wanted something soothing so I started with Sarah McLachlan. (You know, I loved the song "Angel" before that stupid commercial ruined it for everyone forever.) I actually have never listened to her oldest albums because when I got into her there was no Spotify, or Napster, or even mp3s. Just good old CDs. (I am old!) So I've never heard of her b-sides or stuff like that, just her most popular albums. Well, now I do have Spotify, so I went way back to her first album, Touch, and listened through that.

It's...okay? It definitely feel older, like an 80s album instead of a 90s album. "Vox" is an alright song but other ones I just kind of glossed over. I guess her style is just very unique? I don't know. This first album to me is a bit meh.
