    CURATOR'S NOTES

    This is probably the oldest playlist I'm going to upload here, and I consider it the predecessor to all the other OC playlists I've made within the past few years. Leo is a very old OC of mine, and his history is like a tapestry of a million little things I was into in my early teen years. This playlist is a nostalgic love letter to a very specific period of my life, as I used Leo to cope with a lot of big changes around me at the time. I still update this playlist, so its present day state is a mix of music I listened to in 2019 and music I added from 2024 onward. Since Leo has a complicated and long story that takes spans his entire lifetime, there are a lot of songs on this playlist that might not seem connected at first. Trust me, everything's connected in some way.
