It's Okay
As a psychology major I've done many papers this month on suicide. All month I've been debating to make this fanmix. It's been playing in my head, but I never gave myself the time to make it. Then I heard yesterday that a girl I hung out with in high school killed herself.
I felt empty.
Not only was I so sad for her close friends, but I felt miserable for her... because I've known what it's like to wish you weren't alive because things would be easier. I don't want to imagine the desperation she felt.
So this fanmix is to help ANYONE who just needs to be told that things will be okay as long as you work through your issues. I have to remind myself this on a regular basis & this is the music I listen to when I need to remember that living is okay and that life won't always be miserable. Comments are encouraged.

There's nothing more to battle when you're gone
Walk on
2. Whether You Fall by Tracy Bonham
Whether you fall means nothing at all
It's whether you get up it's whether you get up
3. Best of What's Around by Dave Matthews Band
Would you say you're feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off of your mind
4. I Can't Do This by Plumb

I can't do this,
I can't do this by myself

It's OK
You know we'll live to fight another day

this time the only way around is through
11. Better by Dashboard Confessional
You're getting sadder, getting sadder, getting sadder, getting sadder
And I don't understand, and I don't understand
But if I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
12. Never Alone by BarlowGirl
I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I"m never alone

And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was lying still

To straighten out my mind
Things will be all right, all right
15. If Nothing Else by Over the Rhine
words in my head
like misfits after midnight
begging for a light
16. Hope for the Hopeless by A Fine Frenzy
There's hope for the hopeless
17. Broken by Rob Pattinson
I was tied, but now unbound
My head is off the ground
For a long time I was so weary
Tired of the sound, I've heard before,
The gnawing of the night time at the door,
Haunted by the things I've made
Stuck between the burning light and the dust shade.
I said now I used to think the past was dead and gone,
But I was wrong, so wrong, whatever makes you blind
Must make you strong, make you strong,
In my time I've melted into many forms
From the day that I was born, I know that there's no place to hide
Stuck between the burning shade and the fading light,
I was broken, For a long time, but It's over now.
Yes and you, and you,
well you walk these lonely streets that people send, People send.
There are some wounds that just can't mend, I do pretend, pretend,
I am free from all the things that take my friends
But I will stand here till the end, I know that I can take the moon,
In between the burning shade and the fading light
I was broken, for a long time, but It's over now
I was broken, for a long time, but It's over now.
