... Read moreReflecting on the Gacha phase really brings back a wave of intense emotions and memories. It’s more than just a trend or a fleeting moment; for many of us, it’s a significant part of our creative identity. Creating playlists that connect with this phase isn’t just about music; it’s about reliving moments that made us feel alive, vulnerable, and hopeful all at once. For me, making a nostalgia playlist tied to my Gacha creations was a powerful way to embrace both the pain and joy that came with that period. Songs that echo themes like redemption, loss, and endless prayers help articulate feelings we've struggled to express otherwise. It’s like the music becomes a lifeline, allowing us to breathe again when the weight of emotions feels suffocating. What really stands out is how some things never change, especially our deep desires for understanding and growth through these phases. The phrase 'you'll break your back to make me feel again' resonates deeply with those moments of self-discovery and vulnerability during this creative journey. Sharing these reflections with others who understand the Gacha phase adds a layer of community and healing to the experience. If you’re thinking about making your own nostalgia playlist or simply want to reconnect with your creative past, I’d suggest selecting songs that stirred your deepest emotions and memories. This process not only reconnects you with your artistic roots but also helps navigate the personal battles tied to those memories, reminding us that redemption often comes through expression and shared experience.

I can’t believe we didn’t do this sooner! 🤯🎬
We recently cancelled our Netflix, YouTube, and even our $140/month WiFi. One reason being the cost, considering we only used WiFi to run the TV for a max of 2 hours a day. The other reason we cancelled everything is because of the awful things it was allowing us and our child to be exposed to.
