make a mix cd for everyone you're going to miss

It's a strange thing listening to the songs you did when you were 15 and realising you are now the age the singer was when they wrote / sang that song. You're now where they were then, experiencing the same emotions, feeling the same vibe, still relating, still connected, on the same page. Feels a little like coming full circle. It's like in interstellar, where the protagonist's journey ahead into the unknown future is only possible because he's already been there before. From that point, looking back from the perspective of the songwriter, having sung the same song for so long, the same song the songwriter laboured over and poured their soul into, is it possible that you have experienced the same things as them, thought the same thoughts? It makes you wonder: did I love these songs because of who i was already; who I was always going to be -- or am I who I am now because I loved these songs
