To escape isnʼt to run away. To escape is to allow the mind a vacation, space to relax and recalibrate. Those with a healthy appreciation of the fantastical are better able to handle the material, and if travel broadens the mind, just imagine what unbridled escapism can do!

Music to Escape Reality is the cinematic score to your psychological journey. Each piece of music has been chosen for the richness of its auditory landscape, the vividness with which it depicts the rolling planes of the imagination, and for its potential to guide you as you suspend disbelief.

This playlist is a portal to disengage with what is real and explore the infinite unknown, because to escape isnʼt to run away.

To escape is to be free.

Strangers

9 August 2021

What today’s insight has granted me is the knowledge that if you don’t check in on yourself, you’ll lose touch with yourself. You’ll become unfamiliar with each other, and it feels very strange. I honestly think this is what it means to feel out of sorts.

Ego Food

17 March 2021

We don’t like feeling like we can just force ourselves to adopt values. For me to want to be compassionate, to want to manifest in a particular way, a way that is kind and free of judgement or bitterness, is not what feeds the ego.

Along the Way

5 March 2021

We’re there for every day of our lives, but they all smudge into this one long trail of ideas and feelings and memories, and we just have this general sense of ‘being’ somewhere in the middle of it all.

Tired, But Good Tired

4 March 2021

Today I’m tired. Tired but happy!

Recalibration

3 March 2021

I’ve been on mirtazapine for a couple of months now, and it’s been interesting.

No Time

1 March 2021

Let’s just appreciate the fact that, no matter how much it might seem like it, time is finite.

Problem Solved

28 February 2021

My feeling is that people who are really successful don’t just weather the storms. They chase them.

Nothing Wrong In Sight

27 February 2021

You can learn a lot about yourself through paying attention to what you pay attention to. What do you discount? What do you ignore?

Matt Jenko
Hi my name is Matt, but my friends call me Matt. I’m on the wrong side of 29 (damn I hate it every time I have to update that number), definitely feeling my age, but never felt happier and more content than I do at this point in my life. I’ve been through some rocky patches (who hasn’t) and lived to tell the tale, and boy do I gots some stories. When I’m not giving opinions absolutely nobody asked for, I’m doing a worldbuilding with my passion project, vivaellipsis. If you like offbeat nonsense delivered through immersive escapism, then go and get involved. Or don’t, I’m not telling you what to do. I’m not yer boss. I’m a simple man with simple interests. I like Yorkshire tea, the sound of rain on the window, and a bloody good story.
