i think out of all the seasons, i love making summer playlists the most. this year i really went for the hot summer nights vibes,, sweaty n playful,, lil bit dizzy(is it the aperol or is it borderline heat stroke..), lil bit bittersweet⦠as usual not in a particular order so feel free to listen on shuffle and enjoy the sun xx also, what are some of your favorite songs that defines summer to you? can be about a summer memory u had once or it just gets you moving or makes u chill out and relax? i want to listen š§š¼āāļø
I also wrote about these songs on my Substack: Portrait of a TwentySomething. My #1 song this summer was āSave It For Laterā by the English Beat. So much loving fun. šā®ļø

itās already march! thatās crazy! and iāve been having a pretty shitty 10 days. time has been moving far too quickly. and recently iāve been having this ache in my heart⦠yearning, if you will. for what? i donāt know exactly. a lot of it is probably intimacy, touch, love, the usual. but i also yearn for my room to stay organized, for my fingers to move across the frets of my bass quicker and in a way that sounds good, and i yearn for a lot of people, professors, peers, customers at my barista job, to be nicer. lots of stuff in my mind palace the last few days. so i made a mix compiled with songs i considered fitting for the theme of yearning. i also discussed yearning in relation to lesbian stereotypes. for queer women generally, but i prefer to speak on the experiences i know first-hand. and itās cloudy today, just a little bit of misery for everyoneās mid-day listening session.

sleeping naked with crisp new sheets and a fluffy duvet. added points if you didnt tie your hair up. the post sleep only wearing glasses, drinking black coffee and doing things on your laptop hits 10 times harder. or maybe a crossword / sudoku / reading your horoscope from yesterdays news paper. very chic.
read all the books on your shelf before you buy a new one.
listen to all your cds and records before you buy a new one.
wear your shoes into the ground until you buy a new pair.
burn all your candles before you buy a new one.
let your lucky pen run dry before you buy a new one.
let holes wear in your jeans before you buy a new pair.
create oportunity with the things that are already in your possession.
appreciate the moons that orbit around your day to day and give them attention.
make impressions in them, write on them, bend them, savour them.
and when your lost, look to these moons orbit and find yourself in the centre.
