I think we all meet people in life that try to shove us into boxes we don’t fit into. It’s easy to let those people hurt us or tell us who we are, but today’s playlist is all about pushing back against those preconceived notions, and continuing on toward the life we want.
Most of the songs on this playlist are used to inspire me to write, to show the people that told me I wasn’t a good enough writer or tried to use my writing for their own gain. As the inspirational Kelly Sue DeConnick once said:
“Sometimes spite is the only reason I get out of bed in the morning.”
When you get blocked or frustrated, I hope you’ll listen to this playlist and use a little bit of that fury within to get yourself back on track. Here’s the track list for this week:
- Wild Things – Alessia Cara
- You Will See Me – Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip [Explicit]

- Cheap Sunglasses – RAC featuring Matthew Koma
