Before I write all my blogs, there are a lot of things I
have to do to get my mind right. The day I know that I am going to write, I
feel all types of emotions. Sometimes I am really, REALLY happy that I got over
everything I was feeling and got out of some pretty messed up situations.
Sometimes I am EXTREMELY sad because in some of the relationships I feel like I
didn’t get the closure I deserved or needed. But there is always one common
emotion that I have before writing every blog and that is anxiety. This level
of anxiousness often fluctuates depending on who I am writing about because I
know that in writing about them, I am bringing up a lot of emotional baggage
and being very vulnerable about it in the most positive way possible.
To write my lessons and talk about different aspects of
these relationships doesn’t come as easy as you may think. So, before I write,
I take a couple of minutes and remember everything I possibly can about these
people. From what I loved to what I couldn’t stand to the way their eyes looked
in the light to the way they became exposed with me. Then I turn on the
playlist that I either made for this person or with this person in mind. It is
so crazy how many memories can come flooding back to you through different
songs. Regardless of if you resonated with the song so much that you swear you
wrote it, or it was the song you danced to or screamed at the top of your lungs
right next to the person you adore most in this world.
With that being said, I have a made a playlist for each of
the blogs I have posted. Some of these songs are songs that remind me of good
times with or our situation (in terms of the relationship) or just, straight
up, helped me get through the toughest times regarding these people. I hope you
like them!
