In the early morning of November 8th, 2016, I watched as I refreshed my phone one last time, the results of the election come in and what I saw was not the outcome I had hoped for. What's worse was when I woke up I realized I wasn't still dreaming, this was reality I was living in. The realization that Donald Trump is our new president has still not fully registered with me, even though he has officially been inaugurated. My head has been in a fog for so long, I'm surprised I can still function. I've gone through pretty much every emotion during this tough time (all but the positive ones of course). I was angry, upset and confused and I still am. But the one thing that's helped me throughout this is music; it's true when they say it, music has the power to heal. So in light of this difficult time, here are 45 empowering songs that you can dance to, scream to and get all your frustration out.
