sumthin' to take the edge off
Sent out on Wed, Jul 3
How’s everyone doing? It’s been awhile. I’ve taken a much longer hiatus than I meant to, but I’ve also been enjoying it a lot. Partly due to the fact that I have not been listening to any music or hardly any I should say. Life has also just been happening, especially last month— my grandpa passed away, I finished my doctoral degree (officially a doctor!), and my dad had knee replacement surgery. Helllllla things. Anyway, for the most part I have really been enjoying the time I have off until I start my new job in September. I’ve been spending it with my family, my dog, and the homies. So overall I have been doing very well. Or as I should say my favorite quote, meme, manifestation??? — Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.
Anyway, as you can see I am trying to remake/revamp(?) the newsletter. I’m not sure of how I want it to look quite yet soooooo plz forgive me if the design changes for a while each time I send a newsletter out. I am going to keep doing the newsletter. Because so many of you texted me after I sent the last email saying not to get rid of it :’) love y’all <3 and also love the folks who completed the survey, also love ya’ <3
I do wanna say that I don’t think I am quite ready to come out from my hiatus fully yet. So for the summer I might send out another one or two newsletters. But I did want to send along my summer vibes! So enjoy :)
about the playlist.
I recommend listening to this playlist when you need background noise that isn’t jazz, if you need to zone out, or if you’re into running listen to it then. Sorry apple users y’all miss out on some of the tracks.
This playlist is inspired by:
The homies, so many of them are having a hot girl summer (as they should)
Challengers, yes I watched it. I didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it. I wanted more smoochin’
Boiler room
