're:' playlists
One of my favourite activities is to curate a playlist's ~vibe~, and this often means building a playlist around a certain song. These playlists are my re: series, and I want to share some of them here!
Each entry includes a descriptive link to the playlists, and some of my favourite songs from each (✿◡‿◡)
(I am slowly transitioning from Spotify to Tidal (°°)~ for now I am keeping the Spotify links as I think they're a bit more accessible even with a free account, but they are not being actively updated as I listen anymore)

re: bsc
Catharsis. You've been wronged but the anger is more hot than deep and heavy-- and it's a little fun to indulge in so it doesn't start to rot you out from the inside. You've cried about it, laughed it through with your friends, and cursed the wrong-doer to hell and back. Now it's time to sing it out in the car with the windows down on open road.

re: chloe et. al.
Melancholy. You're on the train home and the rain on the window makes the view outside all watery and distorted. A friendship faded, you're not sure why; your plans fallen through and no clear path ahead. Or perhaps it's more like a bitter-sweet nostalgia-- pain that was once sharp has smoothed like a river stone, but it still hurts to step on with bare feet.

re: hot to go!
Joy. It's a hot and sticky summer. You're driving home from the beach with salt in your hair and sand all over the car floor, balancing safe driving with dancing in your chair with your friends. You feel light and bright and free, and full of love as you gulp down humid air into your lungs, thankful for the silly fun of this life despite it all.
