It's clear the purpose for making playlists is not primarily about them appreciating what I share, and in some ways directly having an interaction or conversation about what I had shared would spoil it for me. I want to have this minimal act of creation that allows me to externalize my feelings about a person without requiring direct social interaction. Once this creation exists it serves a variety of distinct but highly related functions: a repository for videos and music that I associate with a significant person in my life, allows me to reaffirm myself and the things I enjoy, recontextualizes existing aesthetic associations (for instance, I have very different emotional engagement with the same song that is placed in *G, *J, and *K), and offers a space for me to think about a significant person in my life and reflect on our relationship.

I AM QUITE LITERALLY ALWAYS SAYING THIS
