The Soundtrack to My Growth: Curating the Vibe of My Evolution
Hey besties! It's Monday, September 22nd, 2025, just past 9 AM here in sunny LA, and my iced oat latte is hitting just right. Woke up feeling that fresh start energy today, you know? Yesterday, I was deep in my feelings about being an "unfinished symphony," embracing the beautiful, chaotic, and ever-evolving masterpiece that is my life. And honestly, it felt so liberating to let go of the idea of a "final design" and just lean into the process.
But as I was walking to my 8 AM design class this morning (yes, 8 AM on a Monday, pray for me), listening to my current favorite playlist, it hit me: if my life is an unfinished symphony, then what's the soundtrack? Like, what's the vibe of this "Development" stage I'm actively working through?
Because let's be real, every good movie has a killer soundtrack that sets the mood, right? And my life, right now, feels like a montage scene. There are those intense, slightly angsty tracks for when I'm wrestling with a difficult design concept or navigating a tricky relationship moment (hello, "beauty of the breakdown"!). Then there are the upbeat, confidence-boosting anthems for when I nail a presentation or finally understand a complex draping technique. And of course, the dreamy, romantic indie tunes for those moments when I'm just soaking in the LA sunshine, imagining my future fashion empire, or, you know, swiping through dating apps (a girl can dream, okay?).
This isn't just about what I'm listening to, though. It's about consciously curating the energy around me as I evolve. It's about recognizing that I have the power to influence the "soundtrack" of my own growth. If I'm feeling overwhelmed, maybe I need to switch to something calming. If I'm feeling stuck, maybe it's time for some fierce, boss-babe beats.
It's like in fashion, you don't just pick clothes; you curate an entire look, a feeling, a statement. My evolution feels the same. I'm not just passively growing; I'm actively choosing the influences, the perspectives, and yes, even the literal music that helps me navigate this journey. It's about being intentional with the vibes I let into my space and mind.
So, here's to curating the perfect soundtrack for my unfinished symphony. It’s a mix of everything, from the dramatic to the dreamy, the empowering to the reflective. Because just like a great playlist, my evolution is a dynamic, evolving mix that perfectly captures who I am, right now, in this beautiful, chaotic, and utterly fabulous "Development" stage.
Time to press play! 🎧✨
