Life Lessons with Drake.

I posted a video on the 'Gram yesterday of me dancing around my living room like a crazy pants, rocking out to Drake.

You know white girls love Drake.

(It's on my Exactly Me Highlight spot, go peep it 'cuz it's cute.)

So, I'm looking at the video again today and I am just laughing because when that song came out I was leaving LA.

One day, I was in conversation with a friend about my ex and how we were meeting up later that day to "talk".

And I said to her, "I'm blem for real, I might just say how I feel." (Line from the song, Blem. Blem means high... stay with me now. ;))

And when I went to talk to my ex, I did say how I felt. For the first time ever. Just laid all my shit out there.

So now, I am watching this silly video of me dancing and singing to my dogs, to a song that actually empowered me 2 years ago to start speaking my truth.
I thought to myself, "What other nuggets of wisdom are in this song??!"  Allow me to share my findings:
  • I know what I like. 
  • Stop running back to your ex, (s)he's a wasteman.
  • I might just say how I feel.
  • You can never smash and stay friends. 
  • I know how I want to live my life. 
Haha- I am being half funny and half totally serious.


But here's the takeaway:
  • Music is dope and you should allow it to speak to you. 
  • Find inspiration and empowerment absolutely anywhere you can.
  • Say how you feel. 
  • Dance in your living room with your dogs. 
Stay basic*, my friends. ;)

Cheering for you.

*Basic is slang for white girls that listen to Drake and drink Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I don't get down on the PSL, but you know me and Drake are homies.
