Having a Rough Time Playlist

---

I have a friend who’s having a hard time right now: Stressful job, recent break-up, and the non-stop care-giving of being a single mom. Sometimes she feels like she can’t do it, or that she’s not good enough. I made a playlist to reflect this time in her life, as well as who she really is, and the times ahead. The songs are listed in categories that transition from feelings now, to later. See titles for details.
