I’ve decided to create a music playlist to speak for who I am. In this playlist, a listener can find songs from many different genres, because variety keeps things more interesting and entertaining. I included some songs from the genre of house music, specifically because House music and EDM have a soothing effect for me, even though it tends to be very loud. This reflects on the fact that I need to relax every now and then, because I tend to be somewhat anxious.

There are also a couple of rap songs because I realize the profound struggles some people have to face in unfortunate circumstances. This helps me to be grateful for what I have but has also led to me becoming a little cynical. The beats in the songs are also nice. I also included two rock songs that I like, both of which sound pretty cool, which seems to be the norm in this genre.

Finally, I added classical music because of how beautiful it sounds. Sometimes it is nice to just listen to music that does not have any words and is open to interpretation by the listener. Another beautiful song is “The Christmas Song”, by Nat King Cole. I included this song because I can easily picture the scenario that he is singing about, and Christmas is my favorite holiday because it’s a time when everyone is a little less selfish.
