RE: strange loops

God, I wish I was able to feel in a safe space with numbers or not bothered
by their mere existence- I feel like I'm looking at a test I'm bound always
to fail!!!

     Hello. Nice chord progression. How did you voice the chords? I played
around with it and came up with my own variation and added just a little to
the progression. Here's an simple example of my variation of your
progression
In Cminor:
Cm, D7, Fm6/C, G7/B, Cm7, Ebm7/Gb, F#7/E, F, F7, Bb. I found my ear wanting
to move from the BbM at the end immediately to the parallel minor. Thusly
starting the progression over again a whole step down.
     This is something very good to pursue. I have to admit that mostly 
when
I loop melodically/motivically, I am very modal.
