It’s that time again: Presenting We Are Alive! (Playlist 20). This playlist is inspired by the essence of summertime in New York City. Bike rides over the Williamsburg bridge. Feeling nostalgic when flipping through family photos and soaking in our rich history. Letting art and music take over us during museum visits and walks by murals, all which are the fabric of my every day life.  

I’m grateful for the divine timing of this playlist. Creating it allowed me to slow down and just be. I’m embracing the present moment in a time where finding balance has been a daily battle.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

What Defines You

from the album YES LAWD! (Oct. 21 - Stones Throw) http://stonesthrow.com/nxworries

NxWorries - Anderson Paak & Knxwledge - Get Bigger

You ever forget about yourself? You're present – emotionally and physically – but not for yourself. There was a moment, a weeks-long moment, where I forgot about myself. I listened, I guided, I met expectations and deadlines, I broke down barriers, but not for myself. I asked others "how are you feeling?" but not to myself. I didn't know that this was happening until I was drained. I had to let myself break down, in order for me to build myself up. No ones gonna take care of me like I can. I can't take care of others unless I take care of myself first. I've been learning to keep more of me for me. I've been learning to love me better. I've been learning to focus on those who love me as much as I love them. This playlist is dedicated to self-love and to reminding myself that it's okay to not be okay.  I hope you enjoy! - Steve-Ography

Process + Peace. 

Process – The motions we go through, the moves we make to avoid bad habits or grasp love is a process. We all have a process of our own. It took me a minute to realize what my process is. I’ve grown to respect it and adjust it to fit who I want to become. 

Peace – Peace is sacred. I’ve fought many and myself to attain it. I ran around anxiously just trying to make it. But I didn’t know 10 years ago, that this is where I wanted to be - at peace. I struggled, but throughout it, I found pieces of peace in expression. These playlists were my form of expressing how I felt, especially when I didn’t have the words to. Expression was what kept me sane. It fueled my creativity. Expression leads me here. I’ve reached peace.

I hope you enjoy!

We Are Alive! (Playlist 16)

Although it’s a special day today–as I turn 37 🎈– it also feels like any other day from the last few months, which I’m grateful for.

As crazy as this year has been, it’s actually brought me back to me. I’ve had the time and space to focus on myself, relieved from outside pressures to be some way or to do something. I’ve been going with the flow. I’ve been riding the wave of inspiration as it comes, and during the lows, I let myself rest. I’ve never felt more at peace than today.

In time for my birthday, I wanted to curate a playlist that feels like calmness coming over you as you ride a bike through the city, which is what I will be doing today. 1luv!
