The teenage years — a time of self-discovery, growth, and endless playlists. Music has a
unique way of capturing the essence of our experiences, serving as the soundtrack to our
lives. During my teenage years, I found sadness, excitement, and inspiration in the melodies
and lyrics that I was never able to express myself. In this blog post, I'll share with you curated themed playlists that encapsulate different moods, occasions, and activities. From heart-wrenching ballads to high-energy anthems, these playlists reflect the tapestry of emotions and experiences that shaped my teenage years.
MOOD RING
“MOOD RING” is a playlist I made with songs that I KNOW will get anyone out of a slump and start dancing. It has a range of different artists with significantly different styles in order for you to get a taste of something new. Having music to dance too has always had a significant importance in my teenage experience as it serves as a powerful form of expression, connection, and release. For me, music and dance provide a means to express my emotions, individuality, and identity when words aren't enough. Moreover, dancing to music has allowed my teenage experience to escape from the pressures and stresses of daily life, offering a temporary escape and a chance to let loose and have fun.
BEDROOM MUSIC
This playlist, I made specifically for those days where you just want to lay in your bed and relax. Having music to relax to is incredibly significant for me as it provides a much-needed escape from the pressures and stresses of adolescence. During this stage of development, teenagers face a wave of challenges including academic demands, social pressures, and personal insecurities. Music serves as a therapeutic outlet, allowing teenagers to unwind, recharge, and find peace in the melodies and lyrics that resonate with our emotions. Whether it's listening to calming tunes before a big exam, unwinding with favorite tracks after a tough day, or using music as a form of self- expression and emotional catharsis, having a relaxation soundtrack plays a vital role in helping my mental well-being throughout the teenage experience.
WONDERING & WANDERING
Lastly, “WONDERING & WANDERING” is a playlist I made for when I am traveling to different locations and I need some up beat music to cancel out all those crazy noises on the street! Whether I’m walking to school or exploring the world around me, music adds an extra dimension into my journey, turning boring activities into memorable moments. When stuck on a long boring walk, the right song can uplift my mood in a second, providing an abundance of serotonin into the teenage experience by amplifying emotions, fostering connections, and adding a layer of excitement to everyday moments.
