thoughtfulness as a genre 🤞😔

A playlist I conjured up with a bunch of songs I personally feel mesh together really well to crest this sort of wistful feeling. Like these songs comfort something inside me. I don’t know how to explain why, they just do 🤷‍♀️☺️

... Read moreWe all have those days, right? The ones where you find yourself thinking, "I just need a long break from everything." It’s that deep sigh, the feeling of being utterly swamped by daily life, responsibilities, and endless to-do lists. It's perfectly normal to feel burnt out sometimes, and recognizing that feeling is the first step to finding your way back to peace. For me, one of the most powerful ways to reset and find a moment of solace is through music. That's why I created this specific playlist – a collection of songs that just get it. They create this beautiful, wistful mood that isn't about being sad, but more about acknowledging that feeling of needing a pause, and then gently comforting it. It’s like a warm blanket for your soul when the world feels too loud. Take, for instance, songs like "In A Little" by Alec Benjamin or "She's Alright" by Zach Bryan. They have this introspective quality, a kind of tender honesty that makes you feel understood. Then there are tracks like "LET EM GO" by Matt Hansen and "Put A Little Love On Me" by Niall Horan, which add layers of emotional depth, creating a truly comforting playlist experience. These aren't just background noise; they're companions for your thoughts, helping you process whatever it is you need a break from. Imagine this: you've got your headphones on, maybe you're sitting on a grassy hill overlooking the ocean, just like in that picture, letting the sounds wash over you. The text "Just need a long break from everything" resonates so deeply in those moments. This playlist is designed for exactly that – to be your personal soundtrack to unwinding. It’s about giving yourself permission to disconnect, to simply exist in the moment, and let the music carry some of the weight. Beyond just listening, when you’re craving a break, try pairing this wistful playlist with other simple self-care rituals. Maybe it's a quiet walk, a warm cup of tea, or even just sitting by a window and watching the clouds drift by. The goal is to create a small pocket of time and space where you can breathe, reflect, and allow yourself to feel. Remember, taking a break isn't a luxury; it's essential for your well-being. This playlist is here to help you find that much-needed escape.

A hand holds a stack of books, illustrating the concept of 'the aimless woman novel,' with a vintage woman illustration and golden star decorations.
A hand holds the book 'A Single Rose' by Muriel Barbery, described as a short translation about a woman traveling to Japan after her estranged father's death.
A hand holds the book 'Intimacies' by Katie Kitamura, set in the Netherlands and NYC, about a UN translator seeking love while working with war criminals.
my favorite niche genre
in the way that campus novels can transcend genre, so too can the "aimless woman" novel! This is the name I've given to books centering directionless women seeking meaning or stability in their lives, for whatever reason. Such a simple premise but can be so rich if done correctly. Here
