Hello! It’s been a while, but I’m officially ending my blogging break. I honestly didn’t expect it to go on for as long as it did, so I’m sorry to have been away for so long.

Do you have an anxiety playlist? By that, I mean a playlist of songs you always go to when you’re feeling anxious or panicky. Of course, my go to for literally any situation is Taylor Swift, but sometimes, I need to break out the big guns.
