So recently I've been feeling pretty down about life- I've lost my job, my childhood pet, moved house, broken up with my partner and left school in the space of 2 months and it's been pretty hard, and the one thing that has really helped me to get through it is music.

I've compiled a playlist of songs I like to listen to when I'm down that make me feel better and more empowered, and some which are purely just guilty pleasures that make me feel great, hopefully they'll be just as useful to some of you too!
