INTRODUCTION

Music is my own kind of therapy. It calms me
down when I feel like I am going to
breakdown. It is something that can make me
happy whenever I feel like everything's
making me sad. Whenever I feel like the
world's turning its back on me, music will be
my safe zone. And whenever I am running
out of words, music speaks for me.
In my 21 days challenge, I decided to pick
one song everyday that I can listen for the
rest of the day.

02

DAY 1 September 11, 2022
GONNA BE OKAY BY Sunday
BRENT MORGAN

This song is actually my comfort song. When
I am in verge of breaking down I would just
listen to this and I feel like I am being
comforted. When the world’s out of focus
and looking kind of hopeless I like to sit
alone with my earphones and play this song
on repeat because every word lyrics of it
seems like everything I needed to hear.
People will come and go in our lives, but it's
the last thing that you do, don't give up on
you. Because there's no one like you. Just
keep on fighting even if it's like never ending,
it's all gonna be okay.

REMINDER:

Always remember that
your life is still worth
living!

03

DAY 2 September 12, 2022
LOVED BY SHANE G Monday

I love this song so much. The lyrics of the
song's my message for myself, funny how I
really feel like it was written for me. This
song is my reassurance that I am valued,
worth it, I deserve nothing but the best and I
am loved. If nobody will stand for me, that's
okay because I don't really need someone to
be my knight because I can be my own
warrior, I am fearfully and wonderfully
made. Besides I am not really alone because
God and my Family are with me all the time
from the beginning until now. They will
never leave me, so I won't be alone. And I
was loved by them unconditionally.

REMINDER:

Even if you're struggling in
life right now someday
you'll find a way out of
that dark tunnel and along
the way remember that
you are loved!

04

DAY 3 September 13, 2022
CONSTANT BY JESSA Tuesday
BARRERA, JEREMY
PASSION

This song always reminds me of my Mother.
Because she always say that life wouldn't be
a life worth living if I didn't encouter any
storm. I'll face a lot of storms in this life time
and I just need to dance in the rain. But my
mom said that I don't need to worry because
in every storm that I'll face she got me and
she will always stay beside me and her love
was more powerful than any storm. My mom
was my constant in this world full of
changes.

REMINDER:

Sometimes we don't really
need a lot of people to
stay beside us, we only
need at least one person
that will never ever leave
us no matter what.

05

DAY 4 September 14, 2022
WELCOME TO Wednesday
WONDERLAND BY
ANSON SEABRA

This is a song that takes me back to my
childhood and the amazing fairytales they were
told me about. The singer's voice feels like he's
taking me on a journey and encourages me to
visit my own wonderland. This song makes me
look back of the old times, to my yesterdays,
where things were more easy, where I didn't
have to worry about anything but my toys.
Where my life was so simple but peaceful. This
song makes me wish to be young again. My
yesterdays were not as perfect as everyone
describe the word "perfect", I've lost some
people growing up but everyone of them gave
me such lessons that I still use up to now.

REMINDER:

Don't be afraid to look
back at your yesterdays.
Because despite of all the
pain, there were lessons
and happy memories
beyond.

06

DAY 5 September 15, 2022
HIGA BY ARTHUR NERY Thursday

This is the only tagalog song I considered putting in
this challenge. The lyrics, the emotions that I felt
while listening to it and the voice of the singer
really amaze me. This is a love song but it has a
message that you need to love yourself first before
anyone. Prioritize yourself before putting anybody
else. Don't be too harsh on yourself, rest if you're
tired because you're precious. You don't need to
force some things because you're important for
someone else, it can be your family and friends.
You're not alone, you just need to find your people
where you don't have to try hard, where you can
just be yourself and they will love and still accept
you.

REMINDER:

Choose yourself the way
you choose others, without
any hesitations.

07

DAY 6 September 16, 2022
SOMEBODY LOVES YOU Friday
BY JEREMY ZUCKER

The singer, Jeremy Zucker said that in this song he describes
the feeling of falling in love with someone special and
dreaming about all things that could potentially happen. And I
connect it with two things;
• The first one was my first dream when I was a child, which is
to be an educator. It was something special for me, even
though I didn't have the chance to pursue it. So sometimes I am
thinking about all the things that could potentially happen if I
pursued it.
• "Somebody loves you" the title itself is a reminder that no
matter what we're going through, no matter how hard life may
be, no matter how harsh life can be, no matter how hard the
rain may pour in our lives, somebody loves us. Somebody can
love us despite of our flaws and imperfections. Somebody love
us the way we love the moon, sunsets, sunrise or even the stars
or even more than that.

REMINDER:

Always shine brightly,
don't stop having that
radiancy existing in you,
for the reason that you are
loved and you don't know
how much it can help
someone.

08

DAY 7 September 17, 2022
TRYING MY BEST BY Saturday
ANSON SEABRA

This song was my anthem when I feel like life's
cruel. This is a reminder that trying my best is
really what matters at the end of the day. I think
everyone needs the song. Everyone is familiar with
the feeling of putting on a brave face, gritting one's
teeth, and just push through. We all have hard days,
whether it was a bad day at work or school, a
difficult time with family or friends, or a loss of a
loved one. This song is the embodiment of a hand
to hold onto during those difficult times. You don't
have to always try harder because you've done
everything you can. If you feel drained, just do less
rather that trying to do more. Make your worry
less, make it less tough and take a rest.

REMINDER:

Living is like gambling,
nothing's sure about it. But
trying your best to survive
is already enough. You
don't have to bruised
yourself, you're doing
great! Be proud of yourself!

09

DAY 8 September 18, 2022
THE NIGHT IS STILL Sunday
YOUNG BY NICKY MINAJ

This song means that it's not very late and there's still
plenty of time. The night is still young and so are we, so
we should live our lives freely. We can think about our
future but don't let that block us living our present to the
fullest, as they've said we only live once, why not do the
things that will make us happy? Nothing is more
important than living a life in the moment and embracing
what you have at the moment. "Make sure the stars is
what you aim for, make mistakes though. I never worry,
life is a journey, I just wanna enjoy the ride" No one is
perfect, no matter how low or high we're aiming for, it
would never be a perfect soar especially in the first try
but you don't have to worry, that's part of our journey.
You don't need to hurry yourself, the world can wait for
you!

REMINDER:

Do the things that can
make you the happiest but
don't forget to try things,
never get tired of it
because the more you try,
the more lessons you get
that you can use to be the
best version of you!

DAY 9 September 19, 2022
HAVE IT ALL BY JASON Monday
MRAZ

I remember all of my friends since elementary, junior
highschool, senior higschool up to my college and
internet friends while listening to this song. This song
talks about the endless possibilities of hope, being
together, love, friendship, intimacy, and more about life.
The lyrics describe a wish for someone, a hopeful wish to
not only know about life but also to live it to the fullest.
To have it all talks much more than just material things.
When I say that I want my friends to have it all, I mean
beyond any material things such as their dreams,
happiness, peace and freedom. I want to celebrate every
milestone with them.

REMINDER:

Learn to celebrate others
victory especially if
they're your friends.
Always wish for them to
have it all and hope that
they're wishing the same
thing for you!

11

DAY 10 September 20, 2022
THE FIXER BY BRENT Tuesday
MORGAN

This song is for everyone who loves to put
everyone else before herself/himself.
They're helping other people and fail to think
about themselves. That's an amazing
unselfish thing, but being selfish sometimes
is an amazing thing too. Please, prioritize
yourself. You can save others but save
yourself first. If you can love others, I know
for sure you can learn to love yourself more.

REMINDER:

Hoping that against all
odds you are able to fix
yourself at the end. If you
can fix others, I believe
that you can fix yourself
too!

12

DAY 11 September 21, 2022
LIKE MY FATHER BY JAX Wednesday

This song was like a tribute to every parents,
especially to every father. The lyrics of the song
describes about the best relationship. Every time I am
listening to this I can't help but to think about my
parents, their relationship wasn't a perfect one but
one of the best relationship I've ever known. My
parents set the bar pretty high and gave me an
example of what love is. They sometimes fight but
love to always make it up to each other. I am so
grateful because I know they love each other. This
song makes me want to wait, no matter how long it
will take, if it means being loved by a man who loves
like my father.

REMINDER:

If you're parents found
and treat each other the
best way they can, why
would you settle for less?
Set the bar high and wait
for someone who can
climb it for you!

13

DAY 12 September 22, 2022
YOU ARE BY PIXIE Thursday
LABRADOR, ERIN LEE

I can't help but remember my friend while
listening to this song. It feels like each line of
this song represents everything I wanted to
say and how much that friend means to me.
"You are sunshine after drops of rain. You
feel so close even though you’re far away"
The distance we have right now have never
been a problem for that friend to comfort
and make me feel warmth, been my safe
place for years. "You are more than what
words could ever write about you" No words
can express how amazing that person is.

REMINDER:

If you don't have someone
who you can remember
while listening to this, be
that someone to
somebody else or for
yourself!

14

DAY 13 September 23, 2022
YOU WILL BE FOUND BY Friday
SAM SMITH, SUMMER
WALKER

If you're suffering or feeling lost and facing
a difficult time, you will be found! This song
will make you realise that you are not alone.
Every time you want to give it all up, look
around you. There are people who care,
there are people who will lift you up when
you knocked down. You are not alone. You
matter. And just like this song says, you will
be found.

REMINDER:

You have survived a lot of
struggles already, please
keep going. You can rest
but don't give up, you
deserve to live.

15

DAY 14 September 24, 2022
DOWN BY MOKITA Saturday

This song was really like just a letter to those
friends who are going through rough
seasons, and to anyone who is having a hard
time. This is for those who are struggling out
there that need a good song to cry to and let
things go. I think that this is also God's
message for everyone who's hurting,
struggling and breaking because I know that
he won't let me down.

REMINDER:

Having someone in your life
that encourages you and tells
you it’s gonna be ok when
you’re going through
something tough is
important. Everybody needs
someone like that in their life.
Be that someone for your
friends, family and ofcourse
for yourself.

16

DAY 15 September 25, 2022
YOU'RE WORTH IT BY Sunday
CIMORELLI

You're Worth It, says everything I want to say to
myself and to other people. It reveals everything
we fail to acknowledge or believe in ourselves, as
well as everything we don't say to others. No
matter what society tells us, our outward
appearance does not define us. We are more than
just a body or surface. And regardless of what
other people try to pin on us, their opinions do
not define us. We are more than everything
they're telling us. Love yourself and be brave.It
does not make you arrogant.It indicates that you
value your life, and once you do so, you will
strive to make it the best it can be.

REMINDER:

Worth is not something that
someone gives to us, it is not
something we need to earn.
Worth cannot be taken from you
without your consent, it is a
lifestyle choice; we must
constantly remind ourselves of
our worth!

17

DAY 16 September 26, 2022
DON'T FORGET TO Monday
BREATHE BY ANSON
SEABRA

The singer said that in this song he paints a
portrait of a human still discovering
himself/herself - flaws, aspirations, and all. "I
am ready to try this thing we call life, though I
won't do it perfect" Trying new and good things
without knowing what would be the outcome is
an act of braveness. You can make mistakes
while trying, it wouldn't be perfect because
nothing is."Fight off all the negatives, the
worries, and the doubts. And don't forget to
breathe" Keep on fighting but don't let yourself
to be drained. Don't forget to rest, don't forget
to breathe.

REMINDER:

No matter how
unpredictable life may be,
don't be scared to try
things. But don't forget to
breathe while trying.

18

DAY 17 September 27, 2022
EVERYBODY HURTS BY Tuesday
AVRIL LAVIGNE

"Everybody hurts some days, it's s okay to be
afraid. Everybody hurts, everybody screams,
everybody feels this way and it's okay"
Everyone suffers. On days when you feel
alone, it's okay to just cry and scream. You're
not alone in this world. Somewhere,
someone else is going through the same
thing. Don't feel alone; it's not just you. It is
acceptable to be afraid and to acknowledge
that everyone suffers.

REMINDER:

It's okay to be weak
sometimes, you don't have to
be strong all the time. It's
okay to sit or lay down
sometimes, you don't have to
stand all the time. Just
remember that you're not the
only one who's feeling that
way.

19

DAY 18 September 28, 2022
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP Wednesday
PRINCESS BY ANSON
SEABRA

I feel like this song is written for every little girl
growing up. This is a song of encouragement. It
encourages every girl that you don't have to
listen to voices inside your head because if you
will, it will be your downfall. Every failures
you've encountered was just a life lesson, so
keep your head up, it is not the end. The road
you're taking is still long, you may be hurting
right now but someday you'll make it home. You
will be at the destination where you supposed to
be. You'll be at a place where you'd feel at
peace, where you can be finally happy and have
your freedom. So now, keep on walking, keep
your head up princess.

REMINDER:

One day you'll find your
way to the start, where
you were just a little girl,
dreaming and you can
finally live it.

20

DAY 19 September 29, 2022
IT'S TIME TO GO BY Thursday
TAYLOR SWIFT

This song is like about breaking yourself from all those toxic
stuff/relationship (can be a friendship or from family
members) where you aren't valued enough. Or it can be about
those dreams that aren't really meant to be ours. This song is
urging you to leave a situation that is breaking and draining
you. But it also understands that it takes time before you can
finally let it go. You will leave when you are ready and when
you have had enough, you will know when you're ready.
"Sometimes giving up is the strong thing, sometimes to run is
the brave thing. Sometimes walking out is the one thing that
will find you the right thing"
Giving up isn't always a sign of weakness but a sign of strength.
It is an act of accepting that not all things are meant to stay and
not all people are deserving to be in our lives.

REMINDER:

Don't be afraid to do
something when you know
that it will help you to find
the right thing!

21

DAY 20 September 30, 2022
SUNRISE BY OUR LAST Friday
NIGHT

This song is a song of hope for the people that suffer from
depression, and turn to music as their outlet. The first sentences of
this song is describing a person suffering from depression. It makes
you feel like you can't get out of a cloud that you're stuck in. And it's
making you really sad because you feel like reality is just too much
to handle.
"When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows, what it's
like to be the only one buried in this hole, you can make it to the
sunrise, you can make it to the sunrise"
This part says that you are not alone, even when you think you are.
People care and they always will. The worst part depression based
on the song is the night, but you can get through the darkness, as
they've said.

REMINDER:

Don't give it up, your life is
more worthy than a ruby.
Some nights may be so
hard but you can make it
to the sunrise!

22

DAY 21 October 01, 2022
WHAT'S COMING IS Saturday

BETTER THAN WHAT'S

GONE BY FEARLESS

SOUL

This is such a magical song. It is a gentle reminder to

remind you that the future is going to be so much more

brighter and better than what has happened in your past.

"There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. The storm will

pass, the sun will rise, the pain won’t last"

No matter how dark the place where you at right now,

keep on walking, at the end of the tunnel you'll find a

bright light. The storm you are experiencing right now

will end, it won't stay for the rest of your life, so don't

lose hope. The pain you are feeling right now will be

worth it someday. Someday you'll look back and you'll be

proud of yourself, for no matter how hard it is, you did

survived it.

REMINDER:

While walking in a road we
called life there are things and
people we'll lose along the way,
but don't let that to be a
hindrance for you. You can cry
and mourn but keep on walking
because what's coming in your
way are better that what you
have lost along the way.
