i've had spotify for probably 7ish years now (maybe more or less but i can't do simple math rn) so my liked songs contain everything ive ever liked since being a teenage, every random phase and all. i usually avoid listening to it all because it overwhelms me but ive recently been really loving using it as a little time capsule and reflecting on younger versions of myself :)))

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

whenever i find a new song i love i add it to my "current faves" playlist and then eventually i retire it and move it into my 2024 playlist so that at the end of the year i have record of everything in one spot, rather than losing all of my past faves in the abyss of Liked Songs
you could also transfer them into monthly or seasonal playlists rather than annual. when i was in school i would have three per year- one for fall semester, one for winter semester, and one for summer (and i would name them accordingly for the sake of coherence). now that i've graduated i can look back on each of them and remember the vibe of any given semester :')

love adding shit to my long playlist and then months later hitting shuffle and going “what is this, i don’t even remember adding this”. always had an aversion to short playlists idk why

i'm trying to get back into reading, as i haven't finished a book in years, and having cute things always makes scary or difficult things more enjoyable for me :)
