Melodic Milestone Playlist

The Prompt

Create a playlist of songs that are truly special to you and that capture the defining moments of your journey. Each track should bring back the emotions you felt in each moment, whether it be one that gave you the strength to keep going, one that comforted you in difficult times, or one that celebrated a liberating experience. Share the music that has shaped your life, along with the stories that accompany them. Don't forget to embed links to the songs on Spotify, YouTube, or Soundcloud!
