I'm Not Sad, I Just Love Sad Songs

Sabrina Talbert, a WH editorial assistant, says others associate her with her love of melancholy music. Joke’s on them, though, because her preferences a serious wellness booster.

If you were to ask my friends to create a playlist for me, there would be a lot of slower tunes on the list. In fact, when I first met my current neighbor and we got around to talking about our music tastes, I was jokingly labeled "Sad Girl." He couldn't possibly understand how, even when I was in great spirits, I enjoyed listening to softer tracks. Granted, he was a lover of all things pop, and while I also like that genre, the idea of bumping, high-energy music every time I had a good day seemed exhausting.
