There are songs we simply enjoy.
And then there are songs that quietly become part of our lives.
The ones we played on repeat while studying for exams, riding the bus home, wondering who we'd become, or trying to make sense of growing up.
Years later, I realized I could still remember the lyrics to songs I hadn't heard in decades. Not because I was trying to relive the past, but because those songs had stayed with me.
That's how this collection began.
*Songs I Survived High School With* isn't just inspired by 1980s music. It's a small tribute to the soundtrack of an ordinary teenager finding her way through ordinary days.
Some designs borrow a familiar lyric. Others are inspired by a feeling, a memory, or a fleeting moment from that era. They're meant to spark recognition—a smile, a laugh, or perhaps the quiet thought, "I remember that."
If these songs were part of your story too, I hope this collection feels a little like meeting an old friend after many years.
Sometimes we don't outgrow the music.
We simply grow into understanding why it meant so much.
