This playlist has a list of songs that remind me of important times in my life.

Beware — Big Sean:

• A person I thought I loved hurt me and the situation impacted my life forever. The line in this song that relates to my situation is, “why you let these hoes tear what we had right apart?” That one sentence literally describes how I felt after breaking up with my first love. #SHEAINTSHIT
• Just Can’t Get Enough- Black Eyed Peas

This song doesn’t really remind me of a specific situation but reminds me of the time when I was living in my first group home. The tone of Fergie’s voice makes the song seem like a sad song which is why it connects to me living in my first group home. The saddening tone, makes me remember all of my memories with some people inside the facility.

Let Me Love You- Ne-Yo

This song is significant because when I first started dating my first love this was “our” song. So now, every time I listen to it her face pops up in my head.

Tryna Win- Mozzy

The line, “Sacrifice it all when I’m tryna win. If shit don’t go as planned we gon’ try again” describes my mentality when dealing with life’s obstacles. I’ve been through so much as a young woman and I’ve always done it for myself. When things don’t go as planned and I know I need then I try again.
