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.

This might not be an easy one, but it’ll be a real one.

Overthinking Rain

Did you know I’ve always loved the rain?

What Are You Waiting For?

24 February 2021

I spent too much time waiting for something to happen.

Let’s Not Be Productive

23 February 2021

Sometimes, you can’t be productive. That is, the things you put effort into don’t produce results. That’s all that productivity boils down to, right?

Remember The Process

22 February 2021

When a project reaches a stage of difficulty, as it inevitably will, no matter how swimmingly it’s been going so far, it’s important to remember the process.

Permission Granted

21 February 2021

The thing is, no one will ever give you permission to be okay in your own skin.

You don’t always have to be happy. But you never have to be miserable.

The Comfort of Inertia

19 February 2021

You enter a paradox of creativity, of knowing that the thing is nowhere near ‘finished’, but not wanting to change anything about the thing because you’re so in love with the iteration

What’s In A Name?

18 February 2021

Somewhere along the way, the meaning changed. My name became synonymous with mockery, to the point where hearing it actually hurt.

Shouting Into The Void

Here’s something you might not want to hear: nobody owes your their response.

Drifting

16 February 2021

The feeling of drifting, of existing rather than living, as though life is merely happening to you and not with you, is probably one of the most unsettling experiences I’ve ever been through.

Sleepless

15 February 2021

My battle with sleep is a tale as old as time. If I want to fall asleep, I’m chronically awake. If I want to wake up, I’m an immovable, eternal entity.

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.
