The Ultimate Playlist When You Feel Like You Can’t Get Your Shit Together

Let's be vulnerable today because I feel kinda sad lately. It all began by seeing some friends who were once close to me… They hung out together without even inviting me. And I started wondering whether it was because I chose a different path to live, or because they hated me.

Look, I'm not usually insecure. If anything, I'm probably the most narcissistic person you could ever find. But hey, I'm a human being, so sometimes insecurity hits that my mind wanders, and I start feeling bad about myself.

I don't know if it's just the 2020 effect that finally arrived in my life. But that's when I got an idea to write about this piece. I figure a lot of people have their own problems regardless of their situation.

Recently, I got reconnected with some old friend, and I also got to make some new friends. All with their kind of problems, at least I know that I'm not the only person here who feels like I cannot get my shit together.

Now, forget about your horoscope… What's that one song you play on repeat when you're feeling down?

6 Lazy Songs: A Playlist for Homebody who Loves to Slack Around the House

I'm a homebody person. When I'm not traveling, you can easily find me working or taking a nap at home. That, except for when I'm in the mood to go out and find something to eat elsewhere. Other than that, I'm happy enough to wait for the delivery man to bring me some good food from outside. I'm like a real definition of a couch potato, and I'm not even sorry.

Just recently, one of my friends asked me out as he knew I just finished my Indochina trip. I told him that I'd let him know when I'm in the mood to go out, and he was like… No problem, I could pick you up at home.

What he doesn't understand is that when I'm not in the mood to go out, it really doesn't matter if he picks me up at home. I just won't go out.

But then that event gave me an idea to create this post. I'm compiling some songs that are suitable for people like me: the couch potato who gets too comfortable at home. I've found only 6 songs on my playlist, so feel free to add it if you have some other songs to recommend! 🙂

7 Breakup Songs That You’d Probably Need to Listen Right Now

I've got a confession to make today: I'm back to the single world again. I recently broke up, it was around last week when we decided to part our ways for our own good. No drama whatsoever, I guess at this point it was our decision as two adults who just happened to be together for a few months. At some point, we realized that maybe it wasn't a good idea that way. So we liberated each other through a breakup.

Pretty much like many other breakups, it wasn't pretty either. There was some disappointment along the way, the thought of so many what ifs. But I think one of the good things about dating in our 30s is that we know when we need to take separate ways, it's only for the betterment of one and the other.

I didn't even cry when we eventually decided to end our relationship. As I said, this is probably the best for us. But hey, still it doesn't stop me from listening to some breakup songs to pour my emotion.

Because of this, I decided to make a playlist of some breakup songs that might be useful for you. Especially for those of you who probably need to listen to some of them. Not to make the condition even worse, just to ensure yourself that everything is going to be alright.

It is, even though it sucks right now.

Dirty Thirty Mixtape: 30 Theme Songs of My 30th Year Living in This World

In case you didn't know, last Monday was my 30th birthday. If you remember that episode of Friends where everybody turned 30, well… I gotta admit that it was only a little stressful.

Like honestly, I didn't think much about how old I am now. I think much about how I am 30 and still not rich enough to buy stuff without checking the price. But anyway…

So, in this opportunity, marking the early days of my dirty thirty, I'm creating a mixtape of the songs that basically sum up my life in the past 30 years. And just so you know, I'm no longer 30 and single. Just 30.

7 Songs That I’m Going to Play on My Wedding Day

I'm a hopeless romantic.

No matter how much I claim myself as a strong and independent woman who doesn't need any man in my life, I still have a small dream about marrying the love of my life at some point in my life. I'm a bit surprised how I'm still single when I'm almost 30 when really I thought I'd be married by 11-12-13.

11th of December 2013, 5 years have passed and I'm still here. Single as fuck. RIP Expectation.

You know what's the sad part about not throwing my own wedding party? Not having my wedding songs played.
