Lifesum

Nothing can sum up a person's life better than their autobiography, but since most of us don't have the time, patience, talent, or ghost writers to write about our oh-so-thrilling lives, we have the next best thing--our playlists. This ties directly into the old adage, "you are what you eat." There's a reason why "what do you like to listen to?" remains one of the most popular questions to ask when meeting a person for the first time. You are what you listen to.

People are just walking playlists. Some have music you like, and some have music you don't. Even if you don't like their music, you can at least respect it. Some playlists are padded out with filler songs, or have music that are so similar, they all sound the same. Some have an eclectic and incredibly diverse collection. Depending on their mood, people listen to chill, to dance, to reflect, or because it just sounds nice.

Whatever your playlist may be, it reflects your story.

It's your life's soundtrack.

And you know, I'd like to listen to it sometime.
