Tumblr has always been such a safe space for me.

I've been using it since about 2009 and I always use it when I need to tune out from the world. I just put on some of my sad girl music and scroll Tumblr and heart or reblog anything that gives me a sprinkle of the happy chemicals.

Enjoy the current sad girl song with me. Thank you, Tumblr.

Gold Rush by Mirah

Oh love when I get lonesome I'm gonna call you up into my world When waters rise up I do my best To keep my home floating upon your chest Oh love when I get lonesome I'm gonna grow you up like you deserve

You'll be a big tree, branching around me I'll be your baby, cradle me safely Come on and hold me like I'm your girl And I'll hold you like I'm your girl In this the ending of the world *

After the gold rush shook off the gold dust After we'd taken more than God had meant for us We dammed up plenty but still felt empty The land was rich but we left it poor I've spent a fine sum, but I will share I know you're thirsty and unprepared When I wet my lips with love you'll feel me there But then I'll run from you 'cause I'm scared * And I've trained myself to run this way I've trained myself to fly And I've dragged you all this way without an understanding why And I'm holding on to nothing - oh, I know that hurt your pride I just thought I could keep you from the loss of having to say goodbye But there's nothing ever saving us from that we're gonna die There's nothing ever saving us from that we're gonna die *

Come see my wide eyes, behold my wild mind I love you, leave you here by my blindside But when 14 feet came on a flood tide I still tried to keep us up, to hold us high And I never meant to put you down But this disaster that came through town Swoll up the sea and tunnels drowned My boats broke free and battered you 'round But if you hold me like I'm your girl I'll still hold you like I'm your girl In this the ending of the world In this the ending of the world

one of my favorite songs reminding us that however we dont want things to change, you wouldnt want things to be stagnant either. change is okay. change is constant.

some thoughts on the beef...

now, i will preface this by the admission: i did my masters thesis on kendrick lamar.

so the bias runs deep. from the moment in 2013 when i first listened to bitch, don't kill my vibe and realised he'd perfectly encapsulated the idea of get your noise away from me, kendrick became a key figure for me. my entire adolescence was characterised by the releases of to pimp a butterfly and DAMN.

i was born and raised christian, but i only started to fully explore that after listening to faith.

i was born and raised in an egyptian household, but i only started to fully identify with what that means after complexion.

my highschool teacher once said to us that there will be no amount of growth in a time period unlike from your 18th to your 21st. and i can testify this. DAMN came out when i turned 18. mr morale and the big steppers came out after i finished being 21.

and, as always, kendrick knew what i needed. that a song about the lifelong affects of trauma and dealing with grief, with pain, with shame. i remember listening to mother i sober for the first time and bursting into tears on my bedroom floor because i never thought he would actually go where i needed him the most.

and now, we're here. that dr*ke is a pedophile. i won't censor that word, but i will censor his name. his artist name deserves no more respect. if anything, it should be that aubrey is a pedophile. and whilst these allegations still need to be proved to be true with evidence, i think it's worth noting something.

kendrick's suffered from the affects of abuse. why would he make light of it and throw them around so carelessly?

if anything, we've seen how nothing he does is careless. everything is so carefully thought out, so methodically thought out with even the most minute details being considered with the utmost deliberation.

aside from that, there's too much pain for that to be the case.

this could've been a good example of the sport. it's what it started out as. it's not worth going through all the subtle disses kendrick has dished out in his career. if anything, his pulitzer prize should be enough proof that a rap diss could remain as is; a rap diss.

but this wasn't a mere rap diss. this was mr morale in action and providing a real life example of the stories and themes he explores in his songs. the affects of unchecked corruption within the self. the affects of generational trauma and how the cycle continues - unless you stop and look in the mirror.

we should've known

how a son was finally shown

like the apple with the bruise

it's all coming loose

treat the world like your whore

only for it to reveal

your rotten core

(pls, seek him. heal.)
