Remedy Melodies 08: DEAR FRIEND,

Remedy Melodies, originally conceived by writer Daniela Bologna, is something like a lyrical advice column. Based on reader-submitted confessions, the Sunstroke team crafts a personalized playlist to lift, fit or change your mood.

Dear friend,

It’s hard to be human, and it should be really — if you’re doing it properly. You’re going to hurt and you’re going to think the world is doing everything it can to make things harder for you, but I promise you that you’ll get through it. It’s easy to dismiss your emotions but allow yourself to feel all of your feelings. Let this moment in your life cut you wide open and drain out all of the things that are holding you back. Search for the happiness within you - trust me, it's in there somewhere. Search for happiness in the world around you. Watch the sunrise, take countless pictures, roll your windows down and blast music, dance alone around your room. Love like it’s the only thing you can do. Let go of your inhibitions and breathe.
