It is well known that Valentine’s Day, an annual celebration of romance, causes some of us to quiver with pangs of grief once reminded of the idealized love we are missing. Less discussed, however, are the effects this romantic idealization can have on those who find themselves in an unstable, or uncomfortable relationship. The premium the holiday puts on passionate, honeymoon-esque dates and unconditional infatuation has the potential to confuse those of us who are in the midst of romantically turbulent periods.
Christian BrowderPublished 3 years ago in BeatThe Legend of the Crossroads
A crossroads is when you come to an intersection of a highway, road, or, path. It can also be a journey in life where you must decide the direction you will take. For some, however, the crossroads is a physical location where the spirit realm is opened. It is believed that entertainers go there to sell their souls to Satan in exchange for the riches of this world. The legend of the Crossroads became official with a young black man named Robert Johnson who was desperate to become a guitar player but had no talent. The story goes that Johnson heard folklore that explained how an aspiring bluesman could become successful.

A gray sky, gray ground, gray city with gray people. No smiles, no sound. When the young girl took out the headphones from her backpack and put them on, she could feel her heartbeat for the first time in years. She hit play on her favorite audio library playlist, and let the beat take her away. Sound for her was - no longer in her grasp. But the rhythm and memory didn’t need her too. The treble and bass massaged her ears and the bliss moved through her body perfectly synced with it. A cool rush followed and her smile grew. That to occasional laughter.

“You can pick the movie,” I said, setting my cup down on the counter as Harry locked the back door behind him. I stepped out of my Nike slides, pushing them against the edge of the cabinets by the door. “I’ll get the popcorn started. I need to call my dad back anyways.”
Mary BoothPublished 3 years ago in BeatIs It a Christmas Song, Christmas Hymn, or Christmas Carol?
We might call all Christmas music by the same name: Christmas songs, Christmas hymns, or Christmas carols. However, Christmas music comprises different genres usually heard before and during the Christmas season and put on the shelf until the following year.

Before I say anything here, I want to make one thing clear. All of the points mentioned in this article are all speculation based on what has been released on the internet by those closely involved with the life of Britney Spears, as well as statements made by Britney Spears herself. Any beliefs I make in this article are purely my personal opinion based on what is available to me. I don’t claim to know anything more than anyone else. I have no first-hand knowledge of Britney Spears personal life and cannot prove anything to be fact or speculation. So please, don’t take what I have to say in this article as an attack on those involved closely with this situation, or as a pass to attack those involved or try to intervene with any court proceedings involving Britney Spears; such as hacking into virtual court rooms or anything like that. This only adds to the problem when what we really need to do is focus on how we can be part of the solution. My only intention like with any of my articles I’ve written and will continue to write about the lives of celebrities is simply to start a conversation, not gossip, but a constructive conversation that might lead us to something good in the end. With that, on with the article.

I stood silently in the shadows of the opulent lobby. My hands shoved deeply in my pockets of my skinny jeans and my shoulder propped against the frame of a large window that faced my fans. I was tense, while my eyes scanned the faces of the individuals singing and dancing to the opening act.

It’s the third day on our voyage. I am unsure what’s bothering me. Is it the waves? The wind? Or the ship creaks as it rocks from side to side. Only a rowboat would be cheaper than this old ship. If honesty were to strike me at this moment I would admit to feeling sick, as I’ve never seen the ocean prior to this task.
