This has gotta be one of the most cliche ideas for a mixtape ever but for some reason I’m still doing it. Music means a lot of different things to different people but if you’re like me certain songs can evoke extremely vivid memories out of you when you least expect it. Such was the case when I listened to Frank Ocean’s “Thinkin About You” for probably the 10th time this weekend. It was like a trip down memory lane, remembering all the girls I’ve gotten over but still manage to worm their way into my mind. This isn’t a whiny “why didn’t you stay with me” mixtape. It’s nothing of the sort. It’s more about those people that stay with you days, weeks, months or years after you meet them. It’s about the ones who changed you for better or worse and made you into the person you are now. This mixtape is for the ones who got away and left you reeling. It’s for the heartbreak and the inevitable rebound. It’s for remembering the mistakes that you will never ever make again. But most of all, it’s for making the best of the things you can control and letting go of the things things that you can’t. I hope you enjoy it.
