7 Songs To Brighten Your Gloomy Day
Adamsmith3421

Often times in life, there will be days when you feel down. On these days, you'll feel sad, depressed, not good enough, alone, forgotten, and insignificant compared to others. These days, one of the best things to do is to not succumb to watching sad movies or listening to sad music like that little voice inside wants you to (even though sometimes, that's what you need). On the days I'm under a gray cloud but ache to feel the sunshine, I find that listening to some happy music makes me feel a great deal better.

Here are some of my favorite songs to listen to boost my self-confidence and make a bad day good!

1. Sorry Not Sorry - Demi Lovato

This song is self-explanatory. For the days you need to feel sexy and good about yourself, this song is all about being unapologetic about self-love and that's exactly what you need on a bad self-image day.


2. Shake It Off - Taylor Swift

Probably one of the absolute best songs to Shake It to (yes, I had to) when you're feeling low.

3.Cool For The Summer - Demi Lovato

Yep, another song from Queen Demi. Because this woman just radiates self-love and confidence. So many of her newer songs radiate that pride and acceptance.


4. No More Sad Songs - Little Mix

Self-explanatory. When you have no idea what to listen to other than that sad playlist on repeat, listen to this. It's reassuring and seems to say that it's okay to feel down for a while, but to push through and do what it takes to feel happy again.


5.Green Light - Lorde

Although this song is about not being able to let go and being sad in general, the beat and tune of the song itself are pretty upbeat and dance-worthy. This is a great song to listen to when you want to listen to those sad songs but also feel a little less sad.


6. Castle - Halsey

This song will make anyone feel like a complete bada$$. Not only do you feel Halsey's regality seeping through your earbuds, but walking down any hallway will feel like you're walking to your throne.


7. Just Like Fire - P!nk

This song embraces differentiality, as P!nk always has. This song is a great one to end on for the simple fact that the music makes you want to sing along and the lyrics you'll sing will lift your spirits: No one can be just like you.


Whether you're going through a bad day or a bad month, never let that make you think it's a bad life. Keep your head up and never let anyone dim your sparkle.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
