Apart from music, what's your go-to therapy?

Introverts love sitting alone in their house all day doing nothing. Eating snacks, watching movies, strolling around, listening to their fav songs. You may find it meaningless, but that's what gives them meaning. The ordinary. The little things. But you won't get it.

@djvlad Monaleo. Super promotes mental health, black love and on top of that, she could rap.

Which female rapper is the best role model for young girls?

Asking for permission before sharing someone’s number is basic etiquette.

I have a friend who moves quietly. You don’t know she’s relocating until the boxes are packed. You don’t know she bought a car until she pulls up in it. Her relationship? Never a group discussion. What’s hers stays hers. I used to think that meant she wasn’t open, like real friendship required sharing everything. But I get it now. It’s not distance, it’s protection. It’s privacy. It’s peace. Not everything needs an audience, and not every bond needs full access to be real.

Putting your phone down and giving someone your full attention during a conversation.

The world you grew up in no longer exists.

If we go on vacation, my first rule is WE WILL NOT BE EATING AT RESTAURANTS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR CITY.

me thinking I’m hiding my irritation whole time my face looks like this

The most underrated act of kindness is simply letting people be. Let them mispronounce a word, talk too much about a show they love, or get excited about something you don't quite understand. Everyone has something that lights them up, let them shine, even if it's not your thing.
