yr fucking exes' mixes

I tossed all the ones she made me after she don' pissed me off for the last time.

Ha, this is why I was thinking of adding "... and it's important to have a large music collection so that songs with emotional baggage can get buried and lost amongst all the others".

There was a Slowdive song that I associated with a particular gf, but at the end of the day (i.e. years later), the song didn't mean anything to her, it only meant something for me. Since it's "my" song, then I get sole ownership over whatever feelings I have, whereas with one of "her" songs, the feelings seem shared, and those shared experiences aren't necessarily what you want to think about after a breakup.

It completely blew me away. That thing where you said like i didn't wanna be with her anymore but i still want to be reminded of her and the way she felt for me and vice versa, I dunno if that's what I was going for but that's completely what I got. I seriously considered making someone, anyone, the exact same mixtape in the same order just so they could hear it, because I couldn't understand how I'd missed the fact at the time that every song on it was so rich and magical and sad and hopeful and lost. It wasn't like a nostalgic pain-pleasure, it just sounded unambiguously amazing, all these songs that'd grown so much by becoming full of someone I no longer resented for like being in bands and not liking dance music and whatever.

But, yes, the guilt was there.

If a current girlfriend/boyfriend minds you making a mix for an old one, then you have some issues to sort out regarding your relationship with either the new partner or the ex - if you're solely friends then jealousy should be irrelevant.
