person falling in love. The one thing I hate about society (unpopular opinion) is that people search for their “other half.” What does that mean? I’ve gotten this far without another half, or someone who “completes me.” I believe I can fall in love with someone, but still be my own person, make sense?

3. Everybody Hurts – R.E.M.

Sometimes when someone is in pain about something, it’s helps to listen to the songs that bring out all the feels. But be picky with those songs, you don’t want to feel worse. This song is the best sad song that explains that everyone feels pain, so you can get through it. Light at the end of the tunnel kind of song.

4. The Way I Am – Charlie Puth

THANK YOU CHARLIE! No one needs to apologize for being themselves. If you don’t like it, then that’s your problem. Not only does he touch it’s ok to be yourself, he discusses how no one can get to know anybody anymore because no one talks! Social media man…ruins lives. I’m sick of people being over-judgy when someone wants to just be themselves. Because at the end of the day, that’s just the way I am.

5. IDFWU – Big Sean

This is the song to play if the only thing to say to a person or situation is “Eff You.” Whenever I’m angry, this song comes on and I instantly feel better. You’re not telling anyone off in person, just getting yourself through your anger in privacy. It’s fun.

“And number 6 from me is Christina Aguilera - Beautiful. The pain and sadness commences but she pulls us up through into the light with a strong sense of self-confidence. We’re the song inside the tune, full of beautiful mistakes.” Ruby

Let me know if there are other songs to add or help you get through things! These are the top ones for me for feel-good-self-care. They help my mental health, and overall make me a happier person.
