Now You Feel Me.. vol. 1
To be honest, these past few weeks I’ve been having a hard time focusing on writing this first post. Not because there hasn’t been anything to talk about but because I just simply never knew how or where I would start but today just feels right... It’s currently 10:50 AM on November 1st, 2022 and the whole world just woke up to the devastating news of Artist, Kirshnik Khari Ball - also known as ‘Takeoff’ from The Migos passing away. Not gonna lie it’s been hard constantly waking up to the sad news of not only artists and celebrities that I look up to passing away.. but also people I grew up with or close friends of people I grew up with passing away so suddenly. It’s like a cycle.. a constant reminder that life is very short and that we need to live every moment with gratitude. It can be hard to focus on your dreams and goals as we can get wrapped up in everyday life and responsibilities but I believe that we’re all here for a purpose and it’s important to lean into that purpose while you still have the time.
Since before I can even remember I've always had a passion for music and all the different stories that could be told through the lyrics, the production, and of course the delivery from the artist. From a young age it was clear to see that no matter the genre or language, music was the universal language that could bring people together in whatever they may be going through.
For the past few months, I’ve been working on myself a lot. Working to become more patient, working on my relationship with God, and of course following my dreams on my terms. In no way shape or form has it been easy.. but waking up every day and being able to see my progress is what truly makes it worth it. If you’re new here this website is a more in-depth version of my IG page @illnamethisbloglater_. On both platforms, I want to be able to create a community where people who love music just as much as I do can come and share their music hot takes, favorite lyrics, podcasts, playlists, albums, etc.
With that being said I’d like to go ahead and plug a playlist I’ve been working on for a few weeks now. As I started making the playlist and playing it back to back about 100 times I realized just how much the theme was very much about being grateful for the moment that you’re living in because every day is not promised. With everything going on in our world and everyday life it’s important to keep that as a daily reminder. Be sure to check out the playlist below! and tell me what you think ;)
I’m not sure how often I’ll be doing these blog entries but I’m excited to have a place where I can share things I love a bit more intimately. Be sure to stay tuned for more & to stay in the loop! Until then, here are some of my favorite videos/clips I’ve been loving as well as a list of some new releases from this past week or so! Be sure to check it out.
p.s. I’m going to a live @newrorynmal show this weekend & I’m excited about it… but I’ve only been to Atlanta once.. not sure what to expect.. what’s the ATL vibes like??? I’m at least hoping for a good hookah & some fire wings? put me on? lmao
Happy Veterans Day weekend! <3
