It’s mixed tapes.
It’s saying “Here! This is me!
This is how this made me feel!”
Honor one another by song.
By using another artist to help you transfer the feel.

This is my love language. I’ve loved It since the days of making mix CDs, so I typically keep them to 18-20 songs. Somewhere around an hour. Playlists can be infinite now, but adding self-imposed limitations forces you to make choices and be intentional. It makes for better playlists. Sometimes I make playlists for people based around a theme (like Fall) but other times it’s a random word or word phrase like “retro futurism.” The goal is always to find those gems that people will hear for the first time and go, “Oh man, I love that song.”
Wanting to genuinely get to know someone without an agenda should be the new currency.
Thinking someone is interesting and wanting to know a bit of their story is what makes this experience human.
These types of exchanges are boosting the frequencyyyy.
Listening without biased judgement is the most compelling you can be.
I have learned I can't figure out who I am without other people.
