I realize how I tie life periods according to the state of my hair. Kinky, texturizer, perm, transitioning, big chop, natural, big chop, twists sitz, big chop, dyed, annnnnd natural up until now. Damn. I been through some shit!
Wow I really went through all this lil context just to talk about how, you know when you have a song on repeat for a period of time?? Like sometimes I wake up and I’m like omg I gotta play “first we prayyyyyy, then we cryyyyyyyy” by Nate Dogg. Or it could “Dilemma” by Kelly and Nelly (I mean I didn’t reaaaally have to add the musicians, you’re supposed to know that nokia excel reference, the still is even in one of my posts…scavenger hunt anyone????)
All that to say that there are some songs or albums that I do also tie to life periods, or rather experiences? Like what I was going through? like reclaiming my agency after someone tried to rob it from me, through Erykah Badu’s discography. Or connecting to my Blackness with Solange’s “A Seat at The Table” album. Or wanting to subconsciously manifest love through “I Want to Thank You” by Alicia Myers.
Damn. I guess that happens with any type of art medium????? I reread that question and I’m not sure I understand what I meant now. Imma leave it here in case my future self reading this gets it.
Also, what was the point of this whole ass post???? a train of thoughts, hitting a cul de sac. fake deep.
