            We all have those days or weeks where we just feel completely down, and instead of doing things to make ourselves feel better, we just sulk in our sadness. That’s not a bad thing, as long as you don’t do it for too long. Its healthy to acknowledge and feel your emotions, and one way I like doing that is by listening to sad music that just fits the vibe of what I’m feeling. So, here’s a playlist of songs and why they fit the Sad Girl Playlist vibe.
