when Iām bored at work, one of the new hobbies Iāve picked up again is playlist curation. I remembered just how fun it is to start making a playlist for every type of mood possible. Even the ones that i feel like only i can feel useful. It is alwaysss the right move.
I have a playlist for roadtrips, one that I would play if I was hiding from a serial killer in a horror film, one for when I want to feel like Iām a loading screen of a video game, ones for all kinds of get togethers (nostalgic crowdpleasers, dancing until you puke, etc.), ones for when Iām needing to pretend the sun is shining outsideā¦ you get it!
Best part is, you still look like you are busy on the computer..hehe.

I create playlists for each niche thing I do. Frollicking in the grass near my house? Playlist. Rainy day where I want to go outside but can't get out of bed? Playlist. Watching Top Ten Thousand cheese while in the shower? Playlist. Thinking about my girlfriend? Mixtape!
Just make playlists for each niche thing you do... unless you're the type of person to only have one playlist with a million songs.

sometimes i get into a āplaylist-paralysisā where i fixate on making an immaculate playlist where all the songs perfectly fit the exact vibe im thinking of, and because of that i end up not making a playlist at all. which was not awesome.
so instead of freaking out like this, iāve been making monthly playlists where i put any song iāve been liking that month. itās great and if i find future vibe inspiration, i can pull from my own musical shelf.
plus as a bonus, you start to associate the songs from each month to the memories of that month and the people youāve met and the things youāve done. pretty cool.

Inside everyone there are playlists waiting to escapeā¦Collecting songs that connect to a vibe or feeling near to your heart is so fun. Iāve made some pretty good ones over the years including the very successful 90s romcom spring nyc (for when you want to pretend youāre in somewhere between a Nora Ephron movie and 13 Going on 30), summer camp (for 70s-90s running around barefoot by a lake vibes), limited too store playlist (for the girlies, obviously), and country bops (my favorite country songs from growing up in Texas). Express yourself with some sonic fusion!!Ā

Itās incredible how many people genuinely think they are boring. There have been so many times Iāve spoken with people and they confess that they think that they havenāt done much with their life, or that they donāt have much interesting to talk about, but itās almost never the case.
From what I can tell, itās often caused by a lack of knowing thyself. Or maybe a low self esteem? Iāve been through it too, and it is so so not true for anyone.
Youāve done so much living. Why do you feel like your story is not worth telling? I know youāve gone through some crazy shit once or twice. if you really havenāt, whatās stopping you from getting out there and creating stories to talk about? Start small! go to a coffee shop once a week. See if they have any clubs to join, and try that out! youāll be making memories in NO TIME.
If you have trouble finding meaningful/fun conversation, just remember that the effort must flow both ways. You are merely just working with what the other person is providing you, and if they arenāt giving you anything to work with, itās not your fault. You arenāt boring, you are just around people who dont vibe with you. And thatās okay! Not every person is going to be your specific kind of person. Plus, if you arenāt having fun talking to them, why does it matter if they like you? the much cooler people who value your input are just around the corner. I promise.
One day youāll be able to shine your beautiful personality on someone who is equally as bright you are, you magnificent comet, you.

Nostalgia is so powerful. And so painful.
Iāve made Pinterest boards filled with hundreds of memories and toys and things that shaped my childhood. Iāve made playlists that include only songs that make me feel 6 years old again. Iāve watched movies that bring me the same wonder they did as when I watched them as a child.
But nothing will ever truly bring me back there. Itās gone forever. to know that I will never walk the halls of my elementary school building, or try and plant an apple seed in between the slides of the playground, or play tag with my best buddies ever again is something unbearable. life is so short. I miss it all of the time.
Adulthood has its perks as well. I never have to ask to go sleep over at a friends house and get told no. I can eat what i want. I can get a kitten if I feel like it. But I miss the simplicity and happiness of being a child. I miss just existing and being okay with that. i miss how I felt when I was 6, but I have to accept that I must leave that behind.
Maybe reincarnation is real. Maybe I will live through something like this life again?
There is an ache knowing I will never walk the same tiny footsteps as I once did. But alas, Iāll be 19 years from where Iām at now and miss this age just as much as I do then. The ache will take a new shape. And i will continue living on.

My favorite thing in getting to know new people is finding out the things they enjoy that seem a bit out of character. I think itās comforting and a bit sexy when not everything that they like has to be ācoolā for them to really enjoy it. Being self-assured and knowing your worth is hot.
After all, life is too short to try and shape yourself around a mould that doesnāt truly resonate with you. Just enjoy the things that bring you joy without caring if they are basic or lame to others. you can enjoy the band that everyone hates, enjoy the movies that people think are overrated, and wear the shirt that went out of style 5 years ago.
true authenticity is a rare trait, always has been. Itās like striking gold when you find that inner peace to just be yourself, regardless of how cringy others find it. Find the peace to like what you like without shame.
