drink a beer by Luke Bryan. played at my aunt's funeral. been 5 yrs and still gets me.
Will You Remember Me. by Sarah McLaughlin. reminds me of my friend that died from cancer 15yrs ago. we played her music all of the time.
just an overall sad song Where have you been by Kathy Mattea. about a couple from first time they met through their marriage, 60 yrs later in a hospital on separate floors dying.
last but least Emily Remembers. Song about a couple who's partner has Alzheimers and taking care of them.

Guess I'm at a different place in my life than most. But those songs that I listened to when I was going through a breakup now just make me smile to see how far I have come and how better off I am

Don’t speak by no doubt. The ultimate breakup song.

Praying by Kesha. I think I probably listened to that song 100,000 times during the worst 1.5-year period of my life.

Both mine are sort of laughable but someone I used to know by kimbra, which recalls a somewhat toxic but intense relationship of mine, and somebody like you by Adele which makes me think of my only big love besides my now husband.

Summertime Sadness (Lana del Rey) from the ultimate heartbreak, followed by Beth/Rest (Bon Iver) from the failed rebound that ruined a friendship. Been 7 years and I’m married now but I still can’t listen to those without my heart starting to race.

Lovely by Billie Eilish.

I loved it so much that I made a dance piece out of it and performed on stage once to mourn the death of my parents.

People say when you choreograph dance to a song you risk getting tired of it. I don’t think I ever will though because I find the emotions so relatable and so intense.

Style by Taylor Swift and Bailando by Enrique Igesias. Worst heartbreak I've been through so far in life. After 3 years I'm finally over it but those songs bring me back to the time I collapsed on my bathroom floor hyperventilating that started it all

I recently presented to some potential new hires on a video call. DURING the call, one of the potential hires sent me a DM on LinkedIn saying "Hey ;) Maybe we can collaborate" What the hell do I do? It feels so unprofessional. This guy has already been offered a job, we were just trying to convince them to accept. But I am uncomfortable.

I’m sad/disappointed because he’s obviously not emotionally available. Please provide some logic on next steps and pros/cons of staying in contact with this person

A friend of mine was broken up with right as I was getting in a relationship. She’s very down so when we hang out, I typically don’t bring him up/share details the way I normally would. She’s only met him at 3 group events over 2 months & she’s been very accusatory of him if we show up late for any reason. It feels like she’s projecting all of her negative feelings onto him. I don’t want to walk away from a friendship, but it seems like she just wants me to be single again. Any advice?

I was on the phone with a guy I dated 2 months ago. He was telling me about all the people he went shopping with. Some names I knew, others I didn’t, as the name list continues he mentions “a personal friend” in the mix. which I thought was weird in the moment cause why didn’t he just say a name. I didn’t ask like I should have. I would of made a joke like whose a personal friend your cousin? Lol. Would others assume he is dating based on the “personal friend” comment
