THE OFFICIAL PLAYLIST

The official playlist for the blog!

The one I made before the website was even started: the inspiration for the blog, if you will. You can listen to it on shuffle, but I recommend listening to it in the order I placed it since I worked for hours, making it a nice, smooth transition from song to song, vibe to vibe.

I was up for three nights making this playlist; I even cried a little. The act of creating this playlist proved to be a therapeutic experience.

On Halloween night of 2022, I finish creating this playlist, a healing moment in itself. This Halloween, though, Halloween 2022, I was alone, dog-sitting for my parents. I hated dog sitting as it required sleeping in my parents' bedroom away from my comfortable upstairs haven and feline confidant. Plus, I hated Halloween, a recent development on my part, as it used to be one of my favorite holidays. But now, at 22, I hadn't celebrated it in four years.

I wasn't originally planning on dressing up, let alone thought about handing out candy. I planned on being a Scrooge and turning off the porch light while decaying in my misery via my Spotify playlist. But then, I stumbled upon a TikTok video featuring the song "Can't Fight the Moonlight," a tune I will forever associate with Halloween. I added it to the playlist, pulled myself together, and got dressed; I went as School Spirit Barbie that year, an ode to my younger self.

I didn't buy any candy in preparation for the night, but luckily I have a sweet tooth, and a few days prior, my inner child needed healing, so I purchased the healthy lollipops my old boss from the art studio I worked at used to buy for us.

The Blondie Has Thoughts Playlist was officially done on November 1st at 2 am.

This playlist is a mix of all the songs and genres of music that built me, supported me, and, in the end, helped me figure out who I was becoming and who I wanted to be. There's something in here for everyone except maybe the metalheads.

I hope this playlist helps you in a way that it helped me. Maybe it gives you peace during a time of need, motivation, or possibly inspiration. Or perhaps it's just here for you to have a good tune to listen to. Either way, I don't care as long as it makes you feel something.
