Breathe Me by Sia: Helped me release my deepest inner feelings a lot of times as a freshman in High School when clinically depressed.

Four Women by Nina Simone: I was going through a few family problems and I really saw myself as one of the four women been described in the song. Having the opportunity to dance this song on a stage allowed me to release my anger and let the situation go.

Lay Me Down by Sam Smith: Describes my emotions in going through the process of having to leave my parents and my boyfriend in D.C to come to college in WI.

Ni de Aqui Ni de Alla by Jae-P: A Mexican song I identify myself with as I admitted this country as an immigrant and I have experienced obstacles, however I stay motivated to succeed.

Promises by Jhene Aiko: Allowed me to understand that even though I was moving 868 miles away, I was never going to leave my mom in heart and that my transition was for the best.

 These songs have a lot of meaning to me because during different experiences throughout my life they have helped me feel stronger about the situation. My playlist says I am a person who has been through a quite much; however I am still standing strong.  My choices allowed me to realize that even though these songs are very important to me they can never introduce who I truly am, rather pieces of whom I’ve been and what has built me today. My playlist portray my connection with something larger, my connection with life goals and success. The songs above portray that even through bad times I will follow my main goal of making my mom proud and to succeed. Life goals can be different for everyone, but in my songs you will see that I am a strong believer of love power as motivation to reach any goals.
