Play your favorite song. One more time.
On days you can't summon the energy to find new music, replay an old favorite.
I play the same old song again, and my mood lifts half a notch
Discovering new music takes effort. Open the app, scroll the recommendations, sample, skip. That whole process is its own form of low-grade tiredness on a tired day.
On days like this, just play the song you already know you love. The track you replayed for a whole summer in school. The one a friend introduced you to. The one that always pulls your mood up by half a notch. Discovery can wait until tomorrow.
Favorite songs carry past versions of you in them. Pressing play summons a little of how you used to feel. Today, let yourself stay in that warmth. When the song starts, set everything else down for a moment. Actually listen.
