Let’s face it: life is hard. It gets messy and painful and complicated, and at times it can feel outright unbearable. But then there are those songs that remind you to take a deep breath. The ones that consistently seem able to reach deep inside and reassure you that sooner or later, everything is going to be okay.

I’ve had an idea for over a year, and I figure it’s time that I finally put it to work. I want to collect those songs and compile them into a single mix. My hope is that this mix will serve as a resource for anyone who is suffering and doubts that the hard times will ever pass.

In order for this to work, I’ll need a bit of help. Go to your music library and find one single song that has helped to lift you out of a dark place. I’m not focusing on any particular genre or type of music here; focus on what means something to you.

Then, email the song to reassurancemixtape (at) gmail (dot) com. Please include a little blurb about why you chose this song! Also, let me know if you want your submission to remain anonymous. Then, I’ll send you a confirmation email once I’ve received your song and added it to the mix.

Reblogs are very much appreciated. After all, this project won’t amount to much if I don’t have any submissions!

Thanks so much for your support~

tl;dr: I’m collecting songs that remind you that life goes on and that you’ll be okay. All the songs will be organized into a mix that will be available to anyone who finds themselves struggling to get through the day. You can send your song to me at reassurancemixtape (at) gmail (dot) com

Everybody should do this because Katie is awesome. We’ve been making mixes for ourselves for the past year and they are lovely. So for everyone to have a mix is going to be even lovelier.
