Henlo Friends,

How are ya, now?

Oh me, not s’bad. I’ve had an extremely busy last few weeks. I stayed up with Bea until 4am one night last week and I have not slept the same since lol I’m going to attempt to correct it this week …or so i say as I write this at almost midnight.

Any who,

Here’s seven stuffs I thought I’d share with ya this week, Ferda.

  1. My homies and I went to see Isaiah Rashad last Saturday for $12. Yup, AMAZING. I was a little lit so I didn’t take as many photos as I would’ve like. BUUUT one of my homies caught Zay on his way out (while the rest of us were daydreaming) and he grabbed a photo with him.. and his giant ass body guard lol

    <3

  2. I’ve been struggling with how to keep myself level headed lately since the internet has emboldened a few people to come out of their caves. Whether I haven’t spoken to someone in a few months or a few years, my silence seems louder to others than it is to me and I don’t understand how. Maybe the silence invites their imagination to fill in the gaps because I swear I have been minding my own business and staying in my lane.

  3. To be fair, these might just be instances where I should make myself clear and set boundaries even if I feel like it’s not conversation worth entertaining.

  4. I got goosebumps listening to music for the first time in a VERY long time. I randomly thought of this song I used to love like ten years ago and while I was searching for it on youtube, i came across an interview with Rory where he talks about how the song is about his absent mother. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

  5. I came out of retirement for a few days and got lit three days in a row. What did I learn? It’s exhausting and the club I used to love going to is not fun anymore lol I felt like I was in a playground with kids fresh out of high school. I actually enjoyed dressing up for a change, but i’m heading back into retirement with what’s left of my dignity.

  6. Did you ever play this in elementary school? Apparently it’s called Pocket Golf and I’m going to build one some day so I can kick all your butts :3

    click the photo if you want to see the original reddit post

  7. Here’s a favorite photo i’ve taken since the last time. The tree wasn’t actually this orange in real life. It was like dark green and brown, but it’s fall so why tf not throw some fall colors in there lol 10/10 would recommend hiking Bonita Falls, it’s super short and the scenery getting to the waterfall is pretty sick.


Yeah so, I’m going to start telling fairytales on here >;] . Real life stories …but the names are all Teletubby characters lol

Here’s an example:

Tinky Winky went to Florida for a ratchet vacation. Po saw on the news that there was a dangerous storm heading towards Florida so Po decided to text this foo Tinky Winky to see if he was alright. Tinky Winky responds by saying he got back a few days ago and in telling the rest of the teletubbies about his ratchet activities, this is a straight quote from Tinky Winky, “I got a black eye from dancing in the club”. Fucking Legend, amirite? Not a fight, not a squabble, fucking DANCING!!


Until next time,
