i made this playlist after my first breakup two years ago and it helped me feel it all: denial, sadness, anger, acceptance, etc… i hope it can help you move through what you’re feeling! time will tell <3
Made after a seriously devastating relationship that ended with unrequited love. I was deep in it and music was my only way to cope. Because I was so miserable I can stand by this playlist because it helped and it’s always there to return to next time.
I like to make playlists that have a huge collection of songs that may be on the soundtrack of my life if someone were to make a movie about that chapter of my life. Most of them don’t get very far because I don’t have a well defined “chapter” to adhere to. This one was made around 2021-2022 when I was in a relationship that at the time I didn’t realize actually sucked, but when I listen back at this playlist, it is pretty clear how depressed I was. I like it because it has some of my favourite songs, and it gives a lot of insight to that time in my life without expressly saying anything.
i got dumped after a 4 month relationship and didn't get out of bed the first half of my junior year of high school. anyway he's hideous now. enjoy!
