Song to Save a Shitty Day

Sometimes work turns a regular day into a shitty day. And sometimes, a really good song can help turn that around.

As I’m writing this, I’m taking a short break from work.

In general I don’t like my job, but some days are far worse than others. And today is really pushing the limit for me.

I don’t work on weekends but there is simply so much to do that I’m finding myself having to make up for work today, at 10:30pm on a Saturday night. I’ve already been working for almost 2 hours and I anticipate at least another hour of work ahead of me. Not ok. Already had a mini breakdown that I had to cut short because I still have shit to do and don’t want to waste my time indulging tears. Besides, once I’m done pushing through this shit then I won’t feel the need for a nervous breakdown anyway and I’ll be ready to chill and feel good again.

BUT… for now… what helps get through this particular work swamp puddle… is having a solid bop in the background to keep me feeling good and uplifted. And I have just the right song.

I usually tend to listen to songs with a low-key melancholy vibe. It’s just what I’ve always been into. But THIS song – NsFW by GOLDA, specifically the DRKTMS remix – is giving me all the boost I needed to buckle down and just do this shit. I mean, I just need to get through about one more hour of shit I don’t care about, then I still have a whole night ahead of me after I knock it out!

So I’m feeling really grateful for this song and how it’s helping me shift my mood right now, and for the artist who made it 100% without me in mind, but hey I’m here for what you made. It’s a great tune and I know you might have your own stuff that gets you through your rough patches of the day, but check it out – check out other work by GOLDA – and check out the Majestic Casual channel on YouTube because that’s honestly how I’ve found so many of my new work / chill / driving songs.

If you too have a job you hate, know that it’s not all about that! And you can keep moving toward something better, but it doesn’t have to be completely miserable while you’re where you are right now. You’ve got music, and whatever else life is really about – the things that spark your passions, that are what you live and work for. The dream is to have it all converge but hey, it wouldn’t be as sweet if you didn’t have to go on a journey to get there, right?

Anyway… thanks for reading / skimming my 5 minute rant. I appreciate you and hope you’re on your path to the life YOU love.

In the meanwhile…
