I've been burning more and more music into cd's lately and been enjoining the experience of physical media. My mom used to have a bunch of CD's and cassettes when I was a kid and have honestly been getting tired of paying a monthly subscription to music apps. I got a decent portable CD player on Amazon for like $20 and thrifted a bunch of blank CD's and a CD case at my local Goodwill.

๐ฟyou'r playlists will outlive you and this is a way to keep the songs you love alive! did it for the first time last night and its super simple, just get a cd drive and blank CD-Rs and then go to town on windows media player with mp3 files and click burn and BOOM cd with like 25 songs YOU want to listen to. awesome investment that should not be overlooked!!

๐ผI got a CD player this year and have really enjoyed being able to throw on an album sans phone when hanging out with friends or cooking. If you're just getting into it, start with a shittier CD player and see if you actually use it before investing in a nice one. My CD player also has a bluetooth feature for the moments I feel the urge to play something off of streaming.
In terms of where to buy, thrift thrift thrift. CDs are like $1 at Goodwill and they usually have decent selection (got my fav Cranberries CD from a Goodwill). Also!!! used bookstores are a great place to look for CDs. Also it's fun to grab CDs by artists you recognize but maybe albums you're unfamiliar with- great way to find new stuff

๐I think in my experience on a more emotional/personal level, for every new person or new life experience I gain, it reminds me of my older sister who passed away a few years ago. Like, when someone laughs so wholeheartedly and the way their eyes squint slightly at the same time, or even to how someone would gush over their favorite celebrities, or their new obsessions on tiktok and IG, I see bits and pieces of her in them.
Some days are a bit bittersweet, but on other days it almost feels like a breath of fresh air. Like, even in the ways I reminisce on her and the memories we shared both good and bad, no matter the time and death between us, it feels like she's there sometimes saying "Hi" in her own way.
I like to think of it as a small balm that helps relive and heal the inevitable grief that follows the Hello's, good bye's, or even the simplest passing glances of someone/something(s) that reminds me of her.

๐ธGenuinely I'd probably pay off my school debt which thankfully isn't TOO high but other than that probably help my mama pay off her bills and medical shit and get my siblings a few nice gifts that they'll prolly like.
