There's no argument here: when you`re down, listening to sad songs and crying in bed all day sounds pretty good. But maybe you`re on a schedule. Maybe you`ve got an hour to compose yourself before having to go to school, work, or anywhere else.
Being quite the emotional one myself, I decided to make myself what I called the Healing Process Playlist. It starts off with a few depressing slow songs that make you weep uncontrollably within the first few seconds. The ones that follow are almost just as soft as the first, but the pace is picked up a little. Up next are a few mellow tunes that aren`t sad at all. Eventually, the HPP ends with a happy-go-lucky tune that just makes you want to feel great and go on with your day. Simple enough, right? Here`s my list.

********You can most certainly end your list on a soft yet happy note with a song like Where There's Gold. Or, from there on, you can slowly work your way to a pick-me-up with songs similar to the ones that follow.
Enjoy!
