[ DISCLAIMER ]   When listening to an electronic dance music (EDM) DJ set  by Aneya Rose , my face melted off as I heard her spin the track “ Sanctum ” (2024) by Belgian DJ and record producer Charlotte de Witte , featuring vocals by Marion di Napoli . No worries, my face molded back into shape.   The song reminds me of nights when raving in South America. For me, it drips with nostalgia and allows me to experience sanctum (a place where one is free from intrusion) within the

[ DISCLAIMER ]   When listening to an electronic dance music (EDM) DJ set  by Holly Loo , I heard her spin the track “ Can You Feel It? ” (2024) by Chymamusique and Floyd D. , featuring vocals by Wanda Baloyi . Lyrics state in part:   Can you feel  it? I never thought I’d feel  this way About somebody else who is not me All these feels  that you’ve given me Are so brand new Oh, they’re new to me Could this be love? Could this be true? Could this be real between me and you?  

[ DISCLAIMER ]   When listening to an electronic dance music (EDM) DJ set  by K_Oxana , I heard her spin the track “ Be a Better You ” by Daniel Jaeger , on the album Be a Better You  (2017). I then thought of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy  (REBT). It’s my preferred self-help  strategy.   Worth noting, I think the version of the song spun by K_Oxana was by Jaeger, though it was contained on the album Criminal Bassline - Most Wanted Mixed by Daniel Jaeger (DJ Mix)  (2024)

[ DISCLAIMER ]   When recently listening to an electronic dance music (EDM) DJ set  by DJ Ellika , I heard her spin the track “ How I Feel (Am I Wrong) ” by Faul & Wad , Nico & Vinz , ALTÉGO , and Old Jim . Lyrics include the following:   So, am I wrong ? For thinkin’ that we could be something for real? Now, am I wrong? For tryna reach the things that I can’t see? But that’s just how I feel  (ooh) That’s just how I feel  (ooh) That’s just how I feel Tryna reach the things th

[ DISCLAIMER ]   In the ‘90s, I visited Estes Park, Colorado with a small group of people. We attended local shops, spent time doing silly, playful, and unimportant things, and we took photos on 35 mm film . Back in those days, it seemed as though life was timeless. Of course, that perception was incorrect.   All these years later, I look at the above photo of me pretending to play a xylophone-type of instrument while wearing a fresh Ralph Lauren  polo shirt with a Universi

[ DISCLAIMER ]   When listening to an electronic dance music (EDM) DJ set  by Valentina Aguiar , I heard her spin the track “ Mind ” (2024) by Rafael Vilches . It was then that I thought of a psychoeducational lesson regarding the mind, which the American Psychological Association (APA) defines  as:   [B]roadly, all intellectual and psychological phenomena of an organism, encompassing motivational , affective, behavioral , perceptual , and cognitive systems; that is, the or
