Perfectly Lonely Playlist

Music is part of my soul. It always has been. Through song, dance, instrumental... whatever it may be. It has made my life better.

I think everyone can relate to that feeling when a certain song comes on and it empowers you...with joy, sadness, nostalgia, strength. Whatever it may be...music triggers something in our brains that makes us feel a certain way. 

So, when I found myself broken up with my longtime boyfriend, moving out of the house we made our home and finding myself alone WAY more, music came to the rescue. 

I went onto my iPhone/Spotify and made myself a PERFECTLY LONELY PLAYLIST. A playlist that encourages me, gives me strength, and reminds me that I am okay being single, alone. John Mayer said it best, being perfectly lonely. 

So, I thought I would share it with you! These songs struck a key in my heart and I hope they help you too. (Warning: There is no consistency with genre except they are good "Single Lady" songs!) You can find my playlist on Spotify under "Perfectly Lonely" or search Emily Schneider.
