Romantic slow burns and confident after-dark energy — because love isn’t one-dimensional.
Valentine’s season always pulls something out of me.
Yes, I lean into soft playlists and nostalgic lyrics…
But I also lean into glossed lips, confidence, and strutting through ASDA like I own the place.
Love isn’t just candlelit dinners and acoustic ballads.
Sometimes it’s healing. Sometimes it’s power.
Sometimes it’s both in the same hour.
So today I’m sharing two playlists that live permanently in my rotation — two sides of the same heart.
✨ Love, Always — soft, romantic, emotional
🔥 Feral After Dark — bold, confident, slightly unhinged (in the best way)
Two moods. One girl. Zero shame.
🎶 Why Music = Mood
Music doesn’t just play in the background of my life. It narrates it.
One song can:
- Take me back ten years in seconds
- Turn baking brownies into a full-blown concert
- Give me the confidence of a main character walking into ASDA at 8pm
- Or unlock a memory I forgot I had
Playlists aren’t just collections of songs.
They’re emotional time capsules.
I don’t just listen to music. I live inside it.
💌 Why I Created These Playlists
Mini confession.
I have a “the one who got away.”
No dramatic ending. No explosive fallout. Just life. Distance. Timing.
And during that chapter, we made playlists together.
Sending songs back and forth.
“This lyric? Us.”
“This one made me think of you.”
We lost contact, but every now and then an old song plays and I smile. Not in a sad way — just… fond.
But here’s the shift.
These playlists aren’t for him anymore.
They’re for me.
Over the years I’ve added:
- Songs that match new seasons of my life
- Lyrics that hit differently now I’ve grown
- Tracks that feel like confidence instead of longing
Same playlists.
New energy.
Healing — but make it powerful.
❤️ Love, Always
Soft. Romantic. Emotional. For the FEELS.
This playlist is:
- Slow dancing in the kitchen
- Long drives with the windows down
- Lyrics that feel like handwritten letters
- Crying in the bath (no judgement)
It’s gentle love. Deep love. The kind that makes you believe again.
Vibes include:
- Indie romance
- Soft pop
- Acoustic ache
- “I love you but I’m scared” energy
🔥 Feral After Dark
Explicit. Confident. Main character behaviour only.
This playlist is:
- Lip bite energy
- Bedroom dancing
- Texting your crush at 11:11pm
- Getting dressed like you have somewhere better to be
It’s flirty. Controlled. A little dangerous — but self-aware.
Vibes include:
- R&B baddie anthems
- “Yes, I look good” walks
- Dom energy (respectfully)
- Power reclaiming moments
⏰ When I Reach for Each One
Love, Always
- Sunday mornings
- Late-night thinking sessions
- When I need comfort
- When nostalgia hits
Feral After Dark
- Getting ready
- Cleaning but pretending it’s a music video
- When I need a confidence reset
- When I remember exactly who I am ✨
Different moods. Same heart.
✨ Music, Memory & Main Character Energy
Two playlists.
Two sides of me.
Romantic dreamer and confident main character.
Not perfect love stories.
Not fairytale endings.
Just memories, growth, and really good songs.
Music evolves with us.
So do our hearts.
And honestly?
That feels kind of beautiful.
Now I want to know about you.
What song instantly puts you in your feels?
And what track makes you feel unstoppable?
