Everytime I am away from home after a long period of time

I always feel the need to unload and unpack especially emotional and mental baggage. It's strange because sometimes it takes me a long time to actually find stability especially when I don't have enough time to unwind and routine picks up almost immediately.

I sometimes find myself going through a mental block. Sometimes, it is so taxing that it breaks me down and makes me cry. I would sit in quietness and stillness and try to find what or who my focus is on in that moment. It gets a lot at times.

However, I discovered that when I returned, Taylor Swift released a new album. As I was listening to the tracks, I found a certain relief in myself. It was as though some of her songs were the damper I needed to slow things down for me instead of crashing down and break.
