Day 7 of my writing challenge

I’ve always been the person to be embarrassed of my music playlists. I was never the “cool” kid who knew the “cool” songs. When I was a teenager, I even tried to force myself to listen to the bands and songs that everyone was listening to but it wouldn’t take long until I’d find myself secretly listening to my Enrique Iglesias cassette on my yellow radio with so much guilt.

I’m a bit more confident now at 28. I think. A part of me is still worried you’ll judge me. I’m still no point of reference when it comes to music but I’ve decided my favourite genre of music is the one that sounds good and makes me feel something. Whether it makes me feel like I’m on top of the world or makes me want to cry over a love story I can’t even relate to. Whether it makes me want to take a shot of tequila and dance or makes me want to curl up on my couch and write. When I hear something that makes me feel, I look for it and add it to my playlist. For this reason, my playlist is such a mix of everything and anything that makes me feel and, in my opinion, sounds great!

The 10 songs that I’m loving right now are definitely not all new or “in” but each one of them makes me feel something. Happy. Sad. Nostalgic. Pumped. Just something.
