So today is going to be a little different because I’m in a mood. It’s a very specific mood. I don’t have just one word for it. It’s something along the lines of “irritated because I’m feeling short on money, but ambitious and stubborn enough to figure it out.”
And out of this frustration, Macklemore. I just felt a desperate need to listen to Macklemore. Specifically, Thrift Shop. Someone excited about not spending $50 on a t-shirt? I’m so in.
But, I’m frustrated because I want more songs like that. Like, I feel poor, but I’m ok. Not woe as me. More, I’m doing ok. I can have fun anyway.
So, in that vein, I decided to search out songs VERY specific to making me feel better, even happy. I don’t feel like making a YouTube playlist. That seems like a lot of work, and I’ve already done laundry today.
So I’m just going to put the songs I find in here. (PS: My train derailed, enjoy these songs that are vaguely related that I totally love)
