I used to dj and mix and whatnot, but I've always just appreciated music. Most of my swells, like, I have music going on in the background, just something fly, something groovy. I'm pretty eclectic. I'm all over the place. But I feel like just being able to express myself through my love of music. For me to share those kind of things and that kind of love with you, to me, it's like the greatest love that is

We need your voices because there's, there are people on here who want to hear things from a male's perspective, want to hear how men think and what men think. So, yeah, I'm excited. And your six month journey, that's awesome. And I'm definitely going to be watching out for your swells as they come out of

I can think back to the first time I heard Joni Mitchell sitting in a car with a boyfriend at a football game and it marks our memories so much that it takes us back to that exact moment. So I'm really loving your vibe that you're giving out about this. Music is huge. It's joy and even the saddest songs. I love to listen to sad songs because they're therapeutic and I'm an amateur musician and songwriter but music touches all of our souls

You. Thank you, Coach. Much appreciated. Now, I'm just trying to keep it up for 2024. I'm trying to apply my running practices to this, where I don't want to take on more than what I can actually give because that consistency is key. Right? You just got to get up and do a little bit every day

And I feel like when I come here, this is usually where it comes from. It's just such a great support system. So I appreciate you, and I'm following you back. I want to be updated and know what you've got to say, because I'm here for that. Let's keep building a community. Thank you

I don't know who came up with some of those lullabies, but those are some of my favorite songs right now of all time, because, my goodness, they work wonders. But it's so true, right? It really is a universal language. It brings us together. And I feel like, between music, for me, music is really food. Like, it really is soul food. There's just something about it that just. It moves me
