i never stopped burning my favs onto cds which eans I have a material timeline of my musical tastes. its also just funs for friend to look thru my cds with homemade covers and pop a disc into my cd player. its a fun experience and im really grateful for my past and current self for keeping up with it.

whether it be for yourself or a loved one I think it serves as a nice little time capsule

๐i would go through on and off periods of having a phone, and to survive high school i started burning cds. it was so special to come across them recently because i immediately went back in time. i donโt think Placebo is as poignant to me now as they were but music is so goddamn powerful in the way it seems to document moments in our lives. My cd player miraculously still works but most of the stickers have fallen off . I wanna start burning em again.
The ritual of toiling away at the computer for hours to get the perfect songs in the perfect order is unbelievably fulfilling :) thx for the post im inspired to reignite the fire under my old obsession

โ๏ธhere are some things I've done in my 20s that were a blast:
- learned to fly a kite (flying a kite as an adult is the best - i recc doing it at the beach if you can manage it, more wind there)
- recreating one of the showstopper bakes from the Great British Bake Off (it absolutely sucked but was really fun haha who knew baking was an exact science?)
- bought some blank white shelves and invited all my friends over to paint them
- attend a workshop at the library (i went to one that taught me how to pickle vegetables!)
- make a perfect summer playlist, burn it on CDs, give it out to friends
- make a different kind of lemonade/iced tea every week (i really looked forward to opening my fridge every day when I was doing this)
- buy a book of poetry and spend so so so long going through the pages and illustrating the poem in the margins (or doodle whatever)
- find a local pizzeria/bar that does open mics and go listen to the performers with some friends (why not? pizza? music? and lots to talk about!)
- make shaved ice at home! (or home made ice cream if you're feeling particularly bold)
- go listen to your municipal band play at the park
- figure out whats in season in your region produce wise and challenge yourself to make dinner just from what you can find at a farmers market or something
