i will get through and come out better off

[tastefullyyours]

I want to make a mix tape of songs to remind myself that life is what i make it. I am going through a difficult time and I know I will ultimately be better off because of it. I want songs that talk about inner resolve, making yourself happy and finding the good in any situation. I appreciate all your suggestions!

the middle - jimmy eat world
the coldest heart - the classic crime
suddenly - tobymac

i'll post more when i'm not running out the door
