On the days where I’m feeling down, I put my Air pods in and listen to some music to try and put me in a better place. Listening to music is a very good thing that can help me get through the day, whether it’s because I’m bored, in a bad mood, or even a happy mood, I know it’s always there to make me feel better. Any music is my cup of tea (besides country), in fact the overplayed music on the radio can surprisingly boost my mood.

I have my own playlists for every mood i’m feeling, for example r&b music is for when I’m tired and want to feel relaxed, rap music is for anytime I want to feel nothing or try to hype myself up, and reggae music is for to when I want to surround myself with good vibes and positive energy (especially if I’m in a terrible mood). The music I decide to listen to can truly set my whole mood, while listening to all my music on shuffle, a hype song can be playing and I’ll feel fine.

As I’m listening to one of my hype songs, a sad song by someone like Mac Demarco, or Cigarettes After Sex can come on after and totally change my whole mood to being sad. I feel like the way hearing a song can affect someone’s mood, or bring up a memory from the past is honestly very fascinating. Currently, some of my favorite songs are Turn on the Lights by Future, Been Away by Brent Faiyaz, and Time Bomb by Iration. Those three songs I just named are all my top three favorite genres of music I enjoy listening to almost everyday in my life.
