The Mix's Community Playlists
Hi everyone,
Each month @Jade09 posts up a playlist challenge for everyone to take part in. We have a new theme each month and create a playlist based on the songs suggested by the community. We have so many amazing playlists now and we thought we'd create one thread here where you can access all of the playlists and listen to them anytime. We'll make sure to update this each month with the new playlist for the month. We hope you enjoy listening to them!
Aife & the team

Thank you <3
So. Its been a year since I joined the mix, minus one month. But my life started turning around since this time last year with a situation with my neighbours (that I mentioned once I believe), and a wellbeing person at uni that I was discussing this with noticed how I was super anxious, and since then I finally decided reaching out for support with my mental health, not knowing how bad it actually was. One of the resources I was given was a link to a mh site where I could talk about what I'm struggling with with other people who are also struggling. But turns out that site was no longer supported by my university so I couldn't log in, I was so devastated. And upon reaching out to tell them, they instead recommended me a site called The Mix... and here I am.
So getting that origin story out of the way. I really wanted to thank this community for everything; all the support, all the advice, all the listening ears and all the kind words. All the fun quizzes and random laughs throughout the year. This community has completely changed my life, more than any therapist could (though tbf if I had a therapist available for free 24/7 then I guess they would also help a lot
though still not as much). I've learnt so much, about myself, about life, about so many things!
Sorry if this sounds weird or cringey but I'm serious, I never thought talking to random people on the internet would change my life so much. I never thought so many lovely people even existed! And come to think of it, you guys aren't so 'random' after all. I genuinely appreciate every single one of you. And I mean every, single, one. Those who have been replying to my posts, those who have been reacting, those who have been sharing their own struggles, those supporting others. Even those who are reading this thinking "who on earth is this guy?" I appreciate you too. Even the many people who will never see this message, cause of leaving the mix, or not reading posts on the boards, or it getting buried deep in the archives of the internet beneath all the other posts. I appreciate you all the same. You have all made this community this great place that it is.
So truly, from the bottom of my heart
thank you.
And wishing you all a very happy new year! Here's to another great year eh? Hoping that its much better than the last! (And hoping that I don't spend as much time on here anymore lol)
