Negatively talk about their bodies. My mom has been morbidly obese my whole life telling me about how fat I'm getting and it not being healthy. I was nearly 300 pounds for 20 years because I self soothes my bullying with food. In my 30's I've fought off anorexia and fluctuated between 170 and 225.
Horribly. I'm grateful someone made space for me yesterday because I was severely lacking in human interaction and it was messing me up worse than usual, but I've cried daily since at least October.
The art of “creating song” is no longer honored & some newer artists ignore cadence, quality sound & lyricism.
Creating songs that only generate money vs creating music that moves people’s spirits. Trying to recreate that feeling, but it doesn’t work because it is synthetic & not genuine.
Some albums are masterfully designed to be a comprehensive journey, inviting listeners to immerse themselves completely from the very first note to the final fade-out.
Country sucks ass across the board, full stop. Yes, I know Beyonce did a country album, but if Michaelangelo sculpted the David out of shit it would still be made out of shit.
Hip hop is a direct descendent of rock, which is directly decended from classical music. If you listen to the complexity you'll hear it. Of course it's all from us. We started it all.
At the moment, my mental health feels quite chaotic and unstable. I'm experiencing a whirlwind of emotions that seem to shift dramatically from one moment to the next.
Some days, I feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grappling with racing thoughts that prevent me from focusing. Other times, I find myself in a low mood, battling feelings of sadness and hopelessness.
It feels as if I’m on an emotional rollercoaster, with each high and low making it difficult to find any sense of balance or peace. Everything just feels like a lot to handle right now.
beat me it taught me nothing but a cycle of violence and how to build relationships based on said violence instead i’ll correct them without hitting them or yelling and i’ll teach them healthy emotional regulation something most adults that beat kids don’t have
Put us in the middle of their arguments or berate our ethnic features (did they not see what they each looked like before procreating? Why the surprise?)
Kids' concerns and problems, even when they're childish, are serious and real and valid to them. I promised myself I would treat my kids' childish concerns and problems that way, which my parents didn't. I didn't always succeed, but I tried.
The belt is thy obvious answer, so I'll go for less conventional: if my mom wanted to punish me, she wouldn't wake something away. She took just one piece that made it work, so I had to constantly see the rest and be aware I couldn't use it.
The privilege of just being able to walk around, to go in and out your house as you please, watch what you want, eat what you want - there are so many places in this world where you can't do any of those things and a lot more
None of the characters in that song have lives anything like mine or live in a place anything like where I do or do anything remotely like the things I do, or would do. And yet it's a song about my life.
Raindrops Keep Fallin On My Head ~ B.J Thomas - my pop used to sing this to me all the time when I was a kid and every time I hear it now it takes me back and I start to miss him all over again

May Chester RIP but Linkin Park is 2nd tier Deftones.
Praying for Time by George Michael is the song that Imagine by Lennon should have been.

I'm not there, but I can see the exit signs coming up.

...I have to watch so I can keep track of wether or not I have care, food, or rights.
