There was a time when I was a little too sure of myself. I used to proudly brag that I had never broken a bone. And then, as if the universe had been listening to my arrogance, karma stepped in... just a few days later, I broke my nose.

The truth is, no one can be in a good mood all the time. Life moves in waves, with its highs and lows. A relationship can turn toxic, parents can push choices on us that don’t feel like our own, and sometimes, for no clear reason at all, everything just seems to fall apart. But when we take a step back, we often realize we’re dramatizing more than the situation deserves. Most of the time, these are just trials, temporary chapters that we’re meant to get through.

Personally, when everything feels like it’s going wrong, I turn to music. I listen to artists who turn their struggles into songs. Their lyrics resonate, their stories remind me that I’m not alone, and little by little, I start to believe that things can get better without always imagining the worst outcome.

This playlist is my soundtrack for those heavier days. It’s not about escaping reality, but about finding comfort in it — proof that even in pain, beauty can exist, and that music can carry us through to the other side.
