some playlists i’ve curated
lotus in bloom: homemade ice cream, wet grass, the sun is out, big dreams, familiarity, learning handshakes, a walk in the gardens, bright colors, hopscotch games, the radio is blasting, growing, picking tangerines, the aroma of baked cinnamon rolls, seashells, blushed faces, taking it day by day
i could stare at ur back all day: tracing the birthmark on your lover’s arm, scattered flower petals, sharing laughs and lollipops, comparing hand sizes, no one else in the world exists, holding on, pink skies, timeless, beauty, reciting poetry, fulfilled promises, pure sweetness, feeling whole
the motherland: golden lanterns, loving, a sunny afternoon, grammar books, cut-up slices of fruits, rivers, open arms, nostalgia, pine trees, belonging, people-watching, first encounters, train rides, playing chess
andromeda: nothing is quite real, the moon on your mind, cold wind, small voices, a mystery, the world is heavy, distractions, a fire, long white dress, spinning, torn sheet music, illusions, apologetic yet brilliant, swords, closed eyes, floating, you are reborn
braking softly: sparkling waters, peace, beautiful innocence, a matcha iced coffee, dried flowers, longing, butterflies, intertwined fingers, a lover’s hair tie, you just turned nineteen, the calm wind, the windows are down, writing in diaries, blowing kisses, bakeries
on some strange angel’s porch: staring into space, surrendering into your own loneliness, why can’t i cry? just let it all out?, home is nowhere on earth, lamp lights, dreading silence, a ghost, poison, everything is enough, the winged nike of samothrace, falling away, decaying
closing distance: a soft kiss on the chest, touching skin, desire, sweet perfume lingers, empty wine bottles, warm breath, whispers, candlelit flames, honey, nurturing, cherishing, a little bit lightheaded, love in one place, stained lipstick
i feel like running: green neon lights, 24 hour motels, pulling up at the mcdonald’s drive-thru at 3am, empty streets, searching, deserted valleys, chaos, a serpent, it was so cold but it’s burning, melancholic, lost memories, echoes, fast cars, faded wounds
backseat luvrs: hands clasped, milk chocolates, the sudden tingling feeling in your stomach when you make eye contact, nicknames, everything is in the shape of a heart, first love, illuminated, letting them in your heart, candied cherries, confessions in letters, endless gazes, the world stops
i’m over it (she’s not): puffy eyes, fragile, sick of trying, holding hope, breaking, explosion, broken fragments of your heart, pouring november rain, emptiness, ruins, infinitely wondering “why”, sorrow and anger, betrayal, gone
i was not ready: another heartbreak, darkness, eating dinner alone once again, words left unsaid, old dreams, bad timing, empty fields, running mascara, a hurt that lasts, feeling selfish, the person they once were, a stranger, the end
one jop this time: a kpop playlist full of my personalised top-tier bangers
ヽ( >∀< ☆ )ノ: kpop again but just the girlies!!!
yumeji’s theme: inspired by wong kar wai’s in the mood for love
love you for 10,000 years: inspired by wong kar wai’s chungking express

A few playlists for spring and summertime 🐌
clarity, in lack of my lack of light — a springtime classical collection. for when the sun shines with hope and anticipation and you can breathe at long last.
at the violet hour — a specific kind of sweet-bitterness that comes with watching the twilight at the end of a long day. wishing you were somewhere/someone else but clinging to every tiny thing that makes you stop and wonder and wake you up from your apathy.
strawberry moon — another classical mix; for lazing the day away and a allowing yourself to melt into the earth. slow down for now.
replenish — when things haven't been right in a long while but now out of the blue you feel like dancing. when you buy flowers for the kitchen and your bus ride home seems new and exciting. when you can finally see the light again.
every day's a blessing — even though sometimes it doesn't feel like it. tunes to hold your hand through the sadness and ennui of the everyday.
intricacy — on all levels except physical I am going on a slow morning hike with annie dillard. for breathing in the strangeness of the world and feeling grateful to have your place within the web of living things.

concept playlists?? but existential?
it's been a while! here's some existentially threatening tunes to daydream and freak out to.
if we want the rewards of being loved, we must submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known.
the house is home again?
you're only alive when you're young, and you're only young once. it's death at the house party, indie-alt suburbia lives forever + all the romanticization of 2016 in one playlist and feasting on every coming of age movie ever watched
i remember being loved. the warmth of nostalgia, the closeness of childhood, the kingdom where nobody dies. we felt loved. and maybe that feeling is gone, but isn't it enough that it existed once?
a soft sadness, the kind that is cozy and worth settling into and wasting the night on.
"this moment is as god as it gets, and it's the only home you'll ever have, the only beloved you will ever truly know." -David Deida
a fitting end. something that feels like closure as the credits roll.
bonus: (cheer up)
jazzy babies
grungey babies
crunchy (it's just...crunchy)

concept playlist vii
playlists based on book quotes
“...his love was too much for him, he felt paralyzed, he wanted to sleep inside her lungs and breathe her blood and be smothered.”- tim o'brien, the things they carried
“the true magic of this broken world lay in the ability of the things it contained to vanish, to become so thoroughly lost, that they might never have existed in the first place.” - michael chabon, the amazing adventures of kavalier & clay
"and i ask you right here please to agree with me that a scar is never ugly. that is what the scar makers want us to think. but you and i, we must make an agreement to defy them. we must see all scars as beauty. okay? this will be our secret. because take it from me, a scar does not form on the dying. a scar means, i survived.” - chris cleave, little bee
“what is the soul? what color is it? i suspected my soul, being mischievous, might slip away while i was dreaming and fail to return. i did my best not to fall asleep, to keep it inside of me where it belonged.” - patti smith, just kids
concept playlists i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi
