The World To Me

Hello July,
June has come and gone, 
I had to say goodbye.
Never thought that I would be afraid to fly.
My love for you is so strong that I began to cry.
The thought of moving on just tears me up inside.
After all this time,
I swear I'll never find someone like you... 
and all the signs, they point me to your light cuz you're the truth.
So July,
I see you painted flowers in the field for me.
I stayed out there for hours and began to breathe
You have got a power that makes me believe.
If love is what it seems, I will not fight 
I could not resist if you kissed me to night.
Your love is what I miss, and it keeps me alive 

Hello July
Don't go July 
I love you so July 

You'll find a way beyond the___.
You'll be okay beyond the ____.
You'll fly someday beyond the stars.
It gets hard, but it's just a transition...
and it's okay if you cry.
You'll be alright you'll be fine.
It's just a matter of time.
Just know the devil is a lie.
It's just a transition.

HELLO JULY

MOVIE w/Mxchael Blue (THE iLLUSTRATXR REMiX).wav

Today I turn 30. Last year I entered my Saturn Return and it was absolutely brutal. At 29, I quit my stable job, I broke up with my extremely toxic ex, I lost an entire community without explanation, I was forced to relocate back home after just establishing myself in the bay. Every part of my life truly felt like my world was crumbling in front of me.

Fast forward a year later, I’m working at a job that I enjoy, I’m happily single & enjoying my independence, I found a new community & I’ve fallen back in love with my hometown, closer to my family.   

To commemorate 30, I made a 30 minute mix of songs that speak to lessons I’ve learned during my Saturn Return. Coming back to myself, establishing my boundaries, doing what truly makes ME happy. Overly excited to embrace this new era of my life and embracing the highs and the lows to bring me to where I am now.

Yo! How we living out there in the world? Issa.... interesting time to be in the US rn, with these mfs really trying their best to seize power. Yet, the world still spins onward.  This month I started a new job, which means I'm in and out of new york every week. This time round I felt like sitting on a hill and just playing what I'm feelin, hope that it provides soothing rn. Also, audio for the visual got pretty scuffed so I knocked out another one for soundcloud hehe.
