Anybody who knows me well knows that music is a huge part of my life (fun fact: it's a dream of mine to be tasked with compiling the soundtrack for a movie or TV series)

Here's a thread of some of my favorite playlists: different genres, different moods, great music

Enjoy! 💜🎶

Shamefully, I'd only known Drawn (because of Little Dragon), I'll be spending some real time with the whole project now though.

Currently playing Greyhounds (for the first time ever, as I type this) ... this shit's nice! 🔥

Lyrics from Robert Glasper's Violets (featuring Miles Davis and Phonte) - a segment of Phonte's verse highlighted:

Giving up is the last option
so when i spit my last doctrine
i make the audience clap foe my offensive lines
like they pass blocking

I love when an older song becomes new to me, and I just wanna keep playing it like it's brand new (to everybody lol) 👇🏾

So many things suddenly make sense when you accept that someone is simply mentally ill.

If you’d like to talk to someone about how you’re feeling, here are some tips that can help.

1. Choose someone you trust to talk to
This might be a friend, family member or a colleague. Or you might be more comfortable talking to someone you don’t know, for example, through a support helpline.

Why do folks think it’s okay to dig into people’s personal lives past what they willingly share? Mind your curiosity.

Just because I share some things doesn’t mean you get to ask everything. Boundaries, baby.
