21 Songs That Understand My Pain

Maybe it was the rain all week. Maybe it was all the midterm exams I've had back to back. It could've even been the dark mood I've noticed in everyone around me. Whatever the reason for it, I've been feeling down lately. I've been reminiscing on bad events in my past and dueling on things I have no control over. Nothing feels important anymore and everything looks dull... boring even. The only thing that has been able to make me feel better and get me out of my funk was these 21 songs below. Music has always been my outlet for all things in life.

Whether I'm cheerful, devastated, or just furious, there has always been a song out there for me. A song that can twist my emotions into something lighter or better than what I was feeling before. Or a song that can make everything come into perspective and not make me feel alone anymore. Music is the only thing in this enormous miserable world that has ever understood me completely. Hopefully, these 21 songs can help you too if you're ever feeling down. Happy listening everyone and remembers it will get better!

Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
