Music.
Somehow, the combination of words and sounds can make me feel like I am both expressing how I feel, and being understood for how I feel, all at once. Just like the value of a good cry or having a friend to vent to without repercussion, music is extremely therapeutic.
The following list contains 50 songs (with more being added after publishing!) from an ongoing modern/indie love song playlist we've compiled for those who, particularly, are separated, missing one another, waiting for one another, and/or navigating obstacles. Our list has about 108 songs on it, but these are some of my favorites.
If you're the type of person who looks to music to help understand what you are feeling, try a few of these out. I've organized the list to start off soft, build up, and then come back down again. Hopefully I didn't misplace anything and kill the flow!

Looks like u are very positive person :) Im waiting almost 4 month (still no interview) and every day just harder and harder to keep mood up.
ReplyDeleteMatshushka, I feel your pain very much. If it's any consolation I can provide, it gets a little less painful after the 6-month mark. I don't know why.. maybe it's the psychology of realizing you have already made it half a year, and you realize that in just 3 little months more, it will already by 9 months. I am striving every day to get to the 9-month mark. I feel like by then, I will be well on my way to the finish line. But 0 - 6 months were just so devastatingly hard. It feels like a lifetime, with so much more distance to go. Just keep ALWAYS reminding yourself of the truth: That one day in the not-so-distant future, your wait *will* be over. And one day (as hard as it may seem to believe), we actually will barely remember this tough struggle. We will forget the daily pain and stress and frustration. One day, it will all be a faded memory. <3 <3 <3
