When I am down and having a hard time coping I have a playlist I repeat. I'll share some songs on the list, link them, and explain what I get from these songs.

Share yours.

If just one person finds brightness or is lifted, it's worth it.

The quiet of night is when you mend the tears in the tapestry you display to the world, knowing the fragility of your facade.

The quiet of night is never as restorative as it seems, as you wish it would be. It is a hell with no distractions, no excuses to look away.

The quiet of night isn't very quiet, inside.

2/2

The quiet of night ushers in the second guessing, the self critique, the doubt, and melancholy.

The quiet of night is when you count your shortcomings, document your failings, and dread the future.

The quiet of night is the time to repair your wall, replacing the missing bricks you removed as a ruse.

I was brought up in a line
But I seem to walk in circles
It's getting hard to navigate
When every map was never made for me

And I thought it would feel good
To understand why I was different
But my title just talks over me
I never even asked to be this way

But to say that I'm a rainbow
To tell me that I'm bright
When I'm so used to feeling wrong
Well, it makes me feel alright

I forgot Nerd Prom. Oh well, I'll just watch Nerd Repeat.

And we're going to a second overtime.
