no because my Spotify Wrapped literally revealed I'm just a messy mix of chaotic pop songs and sad ballads. like, does this mean I need to be either a high-energy party planner or a soul-searching poet? I saw my friend post hers, and I was like, “oh my god, did I accidentally curate my life soundtrack for a tragic romance film?” I mean, all I want is to manifest a dreamy montage moment with someon...
