Regardless of what my relationship status has been at many different points throughout my life, the one thing that has remained constant is music. Music has always been my therapy. I am that person who curates a new playlist for every hyper-specific mood and feeling that I have. Every boy I have ever liked has had a playlist made about him at some point (most likely multiple playlists). For me, music always seems to put into words what I am feeling.
Music has helped me through heartbreaks, created the soundtrack of falling in love, and has infiltrated every part of my life and who I am as a person. I know that many of VALLEY’s readers can say the same.
I have curated a list of song recommendations to match with whatever phase your relationship status may be in right now, special for VALLEY’s readers. Find whichever song resonates with your current situation, reminds you of a past one, or just pick one at random because they are all 10/10 songs. I hope that they bring to your life the same that they have brought to mine.
