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.

for different moods, new friends who you sense have complementary taste in music to your own, for different seasons, for recent discovery, to grieve, to celebrate, to create! years later I can scroll my playlists and see where I was at, and theyāre also personal time capsules in that way.

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.

You don't always have to be doing something productive or creative. Sometimes it is okay to just take a step back and exist.

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.
