I think one of the hardest things to go through is the loss of friendship with someone. Friendship breakups suck. Plain and simple. I take relationships seriously. Whether it's family, friend, lover, coworker. You give me respect I give you respect.

Mon Rovîa Teaches Us How To Be Still

Perhaps that’s why we make playlists of songs with similar vibes: to recreate a specific mood with music. Sometimes, a snappy beat is enough to hook a listener's attention, and it can often be angelic vocals that keep pulling you in.

Days to come
What a world we live in these days it has changed much over time but it has changed a whole lot more since Covid 19 It has become a very expensive to live these days with rents sky rocketing and making it hard for families and single people to live I have been in a shared rental with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 living room and no garage we do have a swimming pool and our rent has gone $100.00 in the time we have been there and it is way too much for what we have and we have to wait ages for them to approve anything to be fixed it is a crime if you ask me. Some people can't even afford a place to rent all because house owners are getting greedy and I have a feeling that is going to keep going up and up until we can't afford it and all be homeless I tell it it is just wrong.
