“I always tell the girls, never take it seriously, if ya never take it seriosuly, ya never get hurt, ya never get hurt, ya always have fun, and if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends.”
I love my friends. Thank you Kansas City, let’s see what today brings 🖤🎶🙌
I’ve Tried out on all streaming platforms now 🎧 This one is a heavier tune emotionally for me that likely falls in the sad indie genre. Despite the heaviness, it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite songs to play! Musically I enjoy playing the melody very much. 1/4
Having empathy for others is so important, especially when we are all overcoming traumas. While “healing” from a traumas is essential to move into a healthier space, a trauma endured never goes away. It sits under the skin like a bomb waiting to go off, sometimes there’s triggers you don’t even know of that come along to set them off.
In the same breath, You never know when something good is coming that helps to move you through that journey. To show you or to reinforce to you that there is an opposite side to the trauma we’ve experienced, to highlight the beauty in you. It’s always a choice to accept those good things, which is part of the journey in itself. Learning and teaching yourself to be aware enough to not to let them pass you by, ultimately, only YOU can allow yourself that awareness.
Not sure who needs to hear it but there’s more good people than bad people out there, there’s real compassion and love waiting around the corner. Love who you love, say what you mean and mean what you say. Speak the words you’ve always wanted to say to the ones you care to, there’s no such thing as “bad timing”, we don’t have a lot of it to begin with 🖤 Thats a make believe construct people build as defense mechanism, there’s no bad timing for something genuinely good. Allow yourself to accept it, you deserve it. Try not to ever let something good or even the potential of slip through your hands, grab onto it/them and see where the journey goes.
Not sure why I decided to write this but know that I’m rooting for all of you, even the bad folks. I hope you find your “good” and don’t let go 🖤

Between abortion bans, multiple mass shootings on the 4th of July, and militarized police cracking down on protestors, there isn't very much freedom in America, is there?
