I spent a tremendous amount of time making a man I was falling for a playlist for his birthday.
I prepared a week in advance and decided it would be part birthday banger and part love letter, but not too lovey-dovey.
I didn’t want it to be overwhelming as we weren’t even close to that stage yet, but an honest expression of how I was feeling about him, about where we were in our situationship, and a way to show him that I truly cared enough to think about the ways to make it a playlist he would want to listen to over and over again.
I even included a song I knew was one of his favorite love songs. After realizing I had put so much effort into doing something for a man who did so little, I decided it was time to put that love back toward myself and make my own playlist.
I challenge you to do the same.
The Assignment
On Apple music or any other playlist maker, make a playlist that:
- Describes the ways in which you want the person of your dreams to think about you.
- Describes the ways in which you want the person of your dreams to feel about you.
- Describes the ways in which you want the person of your dreams to show he loves you.
Remember:
- Put the same thought and energy into your own playlist as you would for someone you deeply care about.
- Listen to the songs over and over again, remember that order matters and that the songs should effortlessly flow into each other.
- There should be no songs about doubt, belittlement, or forgiveness.
- This playlist is from someone who knows how they feel about you without a doubt. Someone who honors you.
Take a bomb photo:
And don’t forget to take a bomb-ass picture for the playlist cover. It must be new.
You know you wouldn’t reuse a photo on a playlist for someone you truly cared about — I know I didn’t.
It took me two hours to create the perfect sexy snapshot in an outfit I had never worn for anyone else — so don’t reuse a photo for your own playlist.
Your playlist will act as an artistic vision board, manifesting the love of your life; someone who loves you, honors you, and cares for you deeply, and tries their very best to make the relationship work.
