1.“From the Dining Table” – Harry Styles
You’re totally fine. That’s why you’ve been staring at the ceiling for the past few hours and definitely not re-reading old texts. Reality hasn’t hit yet, you can just listen to this song.
2. “Complicated” – Avril Lavigne
The whiplash has set in. Why were they so hot and cold? Why did they make everything so difficult? Scream this one at full volume, jump on your couch, and make sure your neighbors know you have been wronged.
3. “Thinking About Love” – Wild Rivers
Okay, but hear me out… maybe if you just explain things better, they’ll come back? Maybe if they just think about love instead of the future, it’ll all work out. Maybe if you listen to this song with your eyes closed, the universe will throw you a bone.
4. “Cool About It”- boygenius
The fake smiles are exhausting. You’re out in public pretending you’re totally chill, when really, you’re one awkward interaction away from melting into a puddle. Boygenius gets it. Let them articulate the heartbreak you’re still trying to put into words.
5. “Better Than” – Lake Street Dive
Wait… maybe, just maybe, you’re better off? The clouds are parting, your friends are telling you you seem like yourself again, and suddenly, you remember: being alone is better than being some fool’s bride. And just like that, the healing era begins.
