Think of a time where you felt truly free and happy. For me, I think of driving around on some back roads, windows down while taking in all that is around me (an added bonus would be if it’s right around sunset). To make that moment in time even more special, I always have a playlist ready to fit the mood. These playlists have songs in them that are automatic serotonin boosts in and of themselves. Just three seconds in, and I already know that my mood and day will be brightened. There are so many songs that can cause this feeling, but I have a few that I think are top tier to me.

They all have their different lyrics and meanings, and they all fit for each and every one of my moods.
