One of the ways I deal with stressors in my life is by making specific playlists that reflect my mood or what I am going through. Over the past few weeks, I have compiled a list of songs that accurately describes the emotions I am feeling in my new friendships and relationships.

This playlist exhibits a hopeful, cheerful tone because I am feeling very optimistic in the new situations I have found myself in. I feel like I am worthy and deserving of love from those around me, and I am optimistic to see where life takes me from here.

Below, I have linked the playlist that I have made. Upon listening, take careful consideration of the lyrics in the songs – be warned, some of them are explicit.
