I always try to take more time with my playlists and block out an hour or so to start curating one so it doesn't feel like such a throwaway task! sometimes i like to have them as time capsules, but i also love going back to them a month / year etc later and updating them so it feels like an ongoing project. linked an example one :)

i like taking the time to order playlists to convey a specific feeling or story. sometimes i challenge myself connect songs that dont have any business being on the same playlist
its time consuming but very rewarding

Sometimes there's a specific *sound* that i can't quite put my finger on, but i love it.
Any time that happens, I whack the song in a playlist, give it a vague name, and find a photo that matches.
No rush, no time limit, keep it hidden until you're happy with it. I think an hour to an hour and a half is perfect for these. Kind of makes it feel like a homemade cassette mix.
Sort of want to go an extra step further and make actual mixtapes.
If you have any like this put them in the comments I wanna check them out!

i started in 2018, but every year i make a playlist a month and any new song i like (or rediscover after forgetting) i add to the month’s playlist
as someone who loses track of time and can’t keep track of what happened in what year because it all blends for me, it’s a little funny looking back at what music i was listening to during certain events of my life, like breakups and how people i met influenced my music taste. i.e. march of 2018 when i got into lofi and i met a community of small artists who have grown since then or july of 2021 when i got into hyperpop after meeting an ex-roommate. i wish i started this earlier like in june 2015 when i got into kpop
everyone i know puts every song they like into one playlist, or their “liked songs” but i love having my songs organized into playlists and folders and one of my favorite things to do is find a theme for the playlist covers :p

a few people have said this to me and it's honestly made me so happy and such a great feeling to know you make other people feel at ease too. i really am a people person and just love getting to know anyone and everyone whether it's people's friends, family, partners etc.

i've spent most of the year focusing on self-love and also valuing my friendships and putting the work and time into them... i feel better about myself than i have in years – i haven't really felt that loneliness from a lack of romance because i still experience intimacy in a different way. we go for dinner, to the cinema, to exhibitions, have little holidays and sleepovers... but now that i do feel so great, i feel like i've unlocked a new version of myself that's a bit more flirty and carefree lol. my friends are great and beautiful, and it turns out their other friends are too. as long as there's no history or anything you're complicating, i vote to have a look around and get to know your friends' friends!
