Life is a rollercoaster. It has ups and downs, those butterfly moments where all you can see if straight down, and it has the curves that throw you off your game for a while before bouncing back. However, the one constant in life is something that people hear everywhere but never acknowledge properly: music.

Music is the thing that truly brings people together; it breaks language barriers, offers hugs, and even lets people express themselves with all the different genres and interpretations that one can pull out of it. It's the one universal constant in a world that is always changing, and there are so many songs to explain what any one person is feeling at any moment. However, finding the right song to describe your mood is hard sometimes when all you can feel is that one emotion, so below is a list of emotions paired with songs that I listen to when I'm feeling that way.
