These are the sounds that have irrigated my creativity and helped me blossom—a sonic garden cultivated with dusty vinyl, scratched CDs, and the echoes of analog warmth. As Nietzsche said, "Without music, life would be a mistake." My musical taste is a mosaic, ranging from pop to classical, jazz to country. Back when I was 13, I crafted a new playlist every month, a little bit of everything thrown in for good measure. It was my "not like the other girls" phase, so mainstream pop and the Billboard Top 100 were definitely out. But time, as it tends to do, has a way of shifting perspectives. Now, I'm a full-fledged pop girly, embracing the catchy melodies and unapologetic energy. I suppose you could say I've evolved, and music has been the soundtrack to that evolution. There's something inherently nostalgic about revisiting a song from a particular period of your life. If you were to pick any moment, good or bad, I could probably tell you what I was listening to and how it helped me through. So, explore these playlists – some are self-explanatory, windows into my soul, while others hold hidden meanings, cryptic messages, and perhaps a touch of Machiavellian mischief.
