It might be quite the understatement when I say 2020 is not it. But as humans we are more resilient than we think we are. We won't come out of this period in our lives unscathed but we can't let it define who we are and who we become. It's very easy to let the black holes inside of us take over but this is precisely when we shouldn't let it. Here are 11 albums that got me through some mental obstacles during this time.
