Do you ever like to torture yourself with songs that make you emotional?

No but sometimes I torture my ears with songs that make me stop and wonder if I'm not by any chance a masochist.
Like this one:

😂 I see I'm not alone.

Yes... but, I'm trying to pay attention to my moods and the content that I am consuming these days so that I can avoid creating myself huge depressive episodes - so... as soon as I feel my mood heading south, I mix it up a bit.

With that said, though... I do need a little help to mix up my YouTube feed a little more, though. I seem to be stuck in a loop of sinking cruise liners, deaths and disappearances and "failed" YouTubers - with a smattering of my favourite Dutch songs thrown in.

Yes... Mostly songs that played at funerals I attended, like this one for my mother:

Or one for the Dutchies:

Meh not too much. I think that's called something like "hedonic reversal" or "benign masochism."

Yeah all the time, depends where I am in life.

I won't do that to myself any more

This one always left me feeling jolly.
