Below, you’ll find a short list of some of the songs I like to listen to when I’m feeling down. Unlike what most claim — That listening to sadder music when feeling depressed only makes one feel worse — I experience the opposite effect with certain songs.

Special Memorial Day Post (PLEASE READ!) 🇺🇲
First, let’s take a moment out of our entire day — One moment of silence for our fallen heroes… Next: Let me encourage you to give back today. If you can, give some money to an organization that keeps their memory alive and restores our appreciation of them. Below are a couple of examples of […]
Happiness Is A Choice You Gotta Make
You will never be happy in this life until you choose to be. Don’t ever feel bad for making a decision about your own life that makes you happy. If it upsets other people, it upsets other people. You are not responsible for their happiness. You are responsible for your happiness.

Accept Your Own Humanity 💙🌻
You can’t “get rid” of everything that makes you imperfect. You’re a human being. There will always be something imperfect about you. 2. Technically, there is no “best” version of yourself. The best is always yet to come. You continue to improve (and worsen) until the day you die. And then, at that point, you […]
