Extra Credit Opportunity: due the Friday before Spring Break
First, re-watch "Many Moons" and be sure you've written down a list of observations. Using at least five examples from the "text," discuss the underlying message(s) encoded in this video. Why was that object, text, lyric or dance move used in the video? How does this "short film" contribute to the discussion we've been having about black female sexuality in the media? What is the visual rhetoric of this video implying about our culture at large?
Second, watch and jot down details from L.E.S. Artistes by another genre-defying artist, Santigold. Think about the themes here: distinctive personal style, lyrics, historically resonant visual tropes... Are there any similarities with Monae? What is it that both of these artists seem to be saying about the identities expected from them by the media? Are there other artists you can introduce to this discussion, who defy the expectations imposed on them?
Your totally unique, thoroughly analytical response (with as many quotations and references to critical articles about the artists and interviews with them as you'd like) should be about 600 words. You can earn, depending on the quality of your response, up to seven extra credit points.
“Build me up, bring me down,” says Santigold, in L.E.S. Artistes this is also inJanelle Monae, “Many Moons,” they both talk about how society is killing us, we are technically free, but we are also bonded by what frees us. In “Many Moons” she is being sold off, piece by piece to the upper society, different parts of her are just being bought as if they were nothing. This video is basically saying that money controls us, “you are free but in your mind, your freedom is in a bind.” She names off many things that pretty much makes our society, like things in the media, or things that can change your looks, or that you use like drugs and even saying things like jim crow law, that is a thing that affects freedom, even if it is of one race, it still binds you. In the end she is over taken by society, and the people, too much of her is being sold, her soul, her life, can’t take it any longer, her movements become fast, like a over loaded computer, the brides come to take her, and she dies at the end of the song.
ReplyDeleteIn “L.E.S. Artistes” she starts out on a horse, almost like she is ready for battle, “saying “I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe.” The beginning is a little more like the before effects of what society once again does to you, what we, the human beings on this world do to ourselves. And like Monae, Santigold sings, “build me up, bring me down” both of them show a build, society created us, we are the product of is essentially. In the end, like Monae dies, everyone in the video, “L.E.S. Artistes” dies in the end, at the hands of each other, pulling each other apart, and beating to death others. The deaths are shown with, veggies and fruits, very un-harmful things, but they cry and act as if, they are bullets, and force. That is the part of that video that confuses me, I must say. Both these videos are talking about the freedom we think we have, but in the end, that freedom is always lost, when it comes to society and money. There is more than just that, the deaths of them as well, society clings to us, and the pressure denies us what we truly all want, freedom. There is so much in these videos, that could point towards individuals in society and how we are the pressure that confines freedom, with gender, race, social status, judgment. I believe that is what these videos are trying to get at, we are the reason for this lost freedom, and all together that equals society.
Like Monae in the video she is trapped and the only way out is death, Santigold, once again, there is a battle of society, and in the end death is all around, because well, there just isnt enough love to go around.
As we turn on our televisions now all we see is music videos jam-packed with half dressed woman and explicit lyrics portraying women to be degrading with no character. Music has begun to destroy our society into a negative direction, hearing words such as “Build me up, Bring me Down”, from Janelle Monae song “Many Moons” and Sabtigold’s song “L.E.S.” shows that they notice society is killing people around. In Santigold’sL.E.S. video she was on a horse implying, “Stop trying to catch my eye I see you good you forced faker Just make it easy you’re my enemy you fast talker”. I believe she is talking to whoever the enforcer is that influences people into doing the wrong. She is pleading that enemy would stop trying to catch her attention and to leave her alone so that she won’t be affected by society to do what is expected as uncivilized human beings. But unfortunately just as in Moane’s video, everyone in the video was seen dying, by destroying each other and being victims of letting society destroy us. In Janelle Monae’s video “Many Moons” she was seen on a horse also being in an auction, that I believe was people taking advantage of her and taking her body parts. She expresses, “I keep my feet on solid ground and use my wings when storms come around I keep my feet on solid ground for freedom”. I believe Janelle is saying that she defends herself when she approached by negative influence of being what society is doing, she stays well-grounded by standing up for herself and keeping her feet on solid ground. I also believe she says “ you’re free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind”, because we are welcome to do anything we want but we let things take over us and instead let our freedom in be in the hands of someone else and let them take control of our freedom. Her dance moves were beginning to go faster because it was showing how she was overwhelmed of what society was doing to do. She could not take any more of the negative influences so she began to overload and in the end she says “And when the world just treats you wrong Just come with me and I'll take you home”, brides were taking her away, leaving the insanity that the world has made them. This video was implying that we are responsible for our actions. We need to stand for ourselves and not be sucked into what people want us to do that is against our will and freedom. “No need to pack a bag You just can't stop your hurt from hanging on”, I believe Manoe said this to express that we have mouths to express how we feel and stand up for ourselves to say what we do not agree with .So start using our freedom to get out of captivity and live our lives with independence to live happily. Monae express a great number of issues that we are affected by society “Civil rights, civil war Hood rat, crack whore, Outcast, weirdo, Stepchild, freak show, Black girl, bad hair, Broad nose, cold stare, Welfare, bubonic plague, HIV, lost hope, Overweight, self-esteem and etc. These words were causes of making our society loose freedom. In conclusion these two videos are discussing the freedom we are supposed have but in reality is taken away by society. We have to look away from that because deaths is only around the corner, we bring death upon ourselves by letting society take over us and our freedom thinking that it will give us what we want. Despise everything we are the reason for everything we do, and sometimes our actions takes our freedom. Both artists exposed that the only way out of the deadly influenced society is to die, but it should all be stopped in the beginning if we stand up for ourselves and be what is not expected of society.
ReplyDeleteWhen the topic of black female artists arises in today’s society, most individuals look towards Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, or Beyonce. While the three are successful artists, it seems that attached to their names is the sex appeal they all embody. Their content with wearing revealing tight clothing seems to have become the norm when mentioning black female musicians. Although it has never been stated that in order for a female artists to make it big in the music industry, when artists such as Janelle Monae and Santigold step out on stage in tailored suits and singing reggae infused electronica, It shocks audiences, almost criticizing the two for breaking the mold of what is expected of them. In the world of music, where freedom is the driving force, Janelle Monae and Santigold sing in their respective songs, “Many Moons” and “L.E.S Artistes” of the restraints society has put on not only their style of music, but who they are as people as well.
ReplyDeleteIn the music video for her song, “Many Moons”, Janelle Monae, along with her split personalities, are attending an auction at the futuristic city of Metropolis. While Monae, who plays the Alpha Platinum 9000, plays for an audience of rich people while her alter-egos are auctioned off. In the first line of the song, Monae sings, “We're dancing free, but we're stuck here, on the ground.” In the world of music, we have the freedom to express and create music that we love. However, artists choose to stick to similar sounds in order to rise to the top of the game. The music that they truly want to create is being thrown away by record companies and by society, to a certain extent. When an artist like Janelle Monae comes around with music that focuses on freedom of expression instead of sex and money, society doesn't know how to react. Instead of embracing her individuality, they reject it. Monae later sings, “We march, all around til' the sun goes, down night children, broken dreams, no sunshine, endless crimes, we long for freedom”. The “we” in the lines refers to artists and people in society who wish to break out of the molds it has created. We must act in ways that have deemed acceptable by society, but at the same time, we still long for the freedom to create and express our individuality. In the chorus, Monae begins to list off society's stereotypes and labels that we are expected to follow. In society, we are said that we all have our individual rights, however, society also puts restraints on us. Like the androids in the music video, we are programmed to do what society tells us to do. Monae defies these standards with her music, and in the end of the music video, she shuts down because of society's rejection of her.
Santigold's song, “L.E.S Artistes” also tackles the idea that artists that break the mold in the music industry are looked down upon. In the first lines, Santigold is demanding change, “"Change, change, change, I want to get up out of my skin”. She knows of the label society has put on black female artists and she wants to defy that mold. Instead of producing a hybrid of pop and hip-hip music, Santigold turns to electronica, soul, and reggae music. She sings, “"I left my home to disappear is all
I'm here for myself”. Growing up on the Lower East Side (hence L.E.S), she felt that her neighborhood defined the type of music she would produce. In order to break that label, she moved out. Out in the world , Santigold is creating music that she wants to create, not what record companies believe will sell. She branches out into new musical directions and urges artists to do the same. If not, the social pressure to fit the certain image, will end up killing an artist’s individuality, as depicting by the killing in the video.
Both Janelle Monae and Santigold touch on the issue of the music industry halting the creative process for artists and how society is hypocritical in that sense.

When I watched the music video Many Moons by Janelle Monae, I observed many messages. One obvious message was the android being auctioned off for wealthy people who were competing against each other for the “prize”. The auction seems routine and since nothing ever changes nobody ever dreams. One lyric that stood out to me the most was “your freedoms in a bind” because people follow what everyone else does; they never can be themselves because they are taught everything by the media. What I mean by this is people are like robots in the video. They are all scared to be different from others. What I noticed almost towards the end of the video when Monae is saying all of the words the last android walked out with an army jumpsuit with powerful steps. She seems to be the outcast of all the other androids who came out. This android comes out strong and different from the other ones. She stood out the most and people liked her and wanted to buy this android. The audiences are like robots all of them are swaying the same way at the same time. There are many flashing photos of war and violence shown on big screens. When Monroe is in the air, it is like all of the cruelness in the world has been so much that it kills her. Her lyrics say, “And when the world just treats you wrong just come with me and I’ll take you home.” This means when all the war and violence is the only thing people are exposed to it makes people “used” to it and nothing else can change. This video connects to our discussion in class about black female sexuality. The media is turning into something that is all about sex. Monae shows how using sex is a very negative and there should be a change before someone dies from all of the pressure of trying to be someone they are not. The video is implying that our culture is focused on getting what they want like the androids, no matter what the cost is. People need to stand up for what they believe before they follow everyone else’s footsteps. In Santigold’s music video, she shows much violence of people getting shot, or stabbed, or their throat’s sliced open but instead of blood there are guts of watermelon and paint splatter. I think she showed the violence this way just so it won’t be so graphic to watch. In her video, she is portraying a message of violence shown everywhere you walk in the streets. There should not be any violence like that and people should be free to walk in the streets without the worry of getting shot. Monae’s video seems much easier to read than Santigold’s video. They both show a message of fighting for freedom but in two different perspectives. Maybe in the video, the people who are getting shot is because they are standing up for what they believe. One of my favorite songs that relate to both Monae and Santigold’s message is Where is the Love by Black Eyed Peas. The Black Eyed Peas sings a message saying that the United States is in a war with each other because of gangs, racism, and murder. There is no more love left in the world. People are in a war and no one is stopping it. In the song they say, “A war is goin’ on but the reasons undercover the truth is kept secret under the rug if you never know truth then you never know love”. Humans have changed throughout history becoming less passionate about life and ignorant to others. All of the artists portray this message in their music hoping others will catch on to their words.

ReplyDeleteAfter playing the “Many Moons” mini movie, over and over and over, I find that not only Monae is different from other female artists, those who use sex to sell their voice, but also the story and messages that she send to her audiences. What’s most notable about Monae is the way she dresss, a skinny tuxedo suit in her videos. The tuxedo is contributed to her mother, who was a janitor, and her father, who drove trash trucks. She likes being natural, her real name is the same as her stage name, and the way she performed in Many Moons was also very natural. She just do the things that she wanted to do onstage “so strong for so long/ All I wanna do is sing my simple song”
ReplyDeleteIn this video, the crowd represents the Media; the crowd loves Cindi Mayweather; an android singer. What this means is that the media expect entertainers such as singers to be role models, to be perfect. But in reality, singers are not role models; it’s our perception to view them as role models and Monae calls for us to “revolutionize” our “lives and find a way out”, to search for your soul and to look for freedom. At the end of the video after Cindi Mayweather got electrocuted, the green eyes angels and the Lady Maestra—master of the Show Droids who wears red to represent the devil—coming to take Cindi Mayweather’s soul. “And when the world just treats you wrong/ Just come with me and I’ll take you home”, the devil is telling Cindi Mayweather to give up her soul and give in, because it’s easier to give in than to go against the system.
In the middle of the song, Monae stops singing and starts listing all the things that has gone wrong in the world, including being a “black girl” with “broad nose” wearing “tap shoes” who wish to perform in “Broadway”. This is clearly the opposite of the scene of the video, a lavishing droid auction with the crowd having fun and enjoying their night not worrying about all the issues that Cindi Mayweather is stating on stage. People see Monae as a beautiful, gorgeous, and talented artist but never see the difficulties that she faces. Just because she’s black doesn’t mean she will be half naked in her music videos.
This brings out another point that Monae wants to express. She wants to change the way audiences view black female artist. She wants to tell us that not all black female artists use sex in their video to reach fame, she is a counter example. She has an amazing voice, she doesn’t show her chest, and I believe if she let her hair down she would be unbelievably gorgeous; she can also dance the Michael Jackson moonwalk backward and forward. This tells us that women can be as good as men and shouldn’t be taken advantage of just because that’s how society has been. Cindi Mayweather is “the mediator between the haves and have-nots, the chosen one to help restore unity and balance.”
Santigold sings “I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up, if I could stand up mean, for the things that I believe” she stands for peace, this is quite similar to the alter-ego of Monae—Cindi Mayweather, a rebellious robot who wants to marry a human and ran away because of persecution—Cindi dies in the end because she stands up for what she believes, a love between robot and human. Then Cindi Mayweather switched the tone to Monae and she sings “ All I wanna do is sing my simple song/ Square or round, rich or poor”, no matter what, Monae will be herself and won’t be a sell out for fame or wealth.
Fun fact: did you know? at 10% inflation rate globally, 1 cent in 2011 will be worth about 5.6x10^28 dollars in 2719? that is about 4x10^15 times our current national debt.
Mr.T
I definitely enjoyed both songs and videos. In Monae's "Many Moons" I enjoyed the fact that everyone in attendance were robots. It asserts her argument that we live in a brainwashed society. The society that we live in includes people who like any song that has a "popping beat" (any cheesy fast pace noise), and some auto-tune garbage. It's also offensive that any song that repeats itself over and over is considered catchy. It's also refreshing to see that Monae isn't the same as every other female artist. Her sex appeal isn't overshadowed by sluttiness and she puts on a very powerful presentation. As the video winds down and she becomes dysfunctional, it is clear that society has won, and that she is just another android.
ReplyDeleteSantogold's "L.E.S. Artistes” was interesting to say the least. I'm not sure and this may be just me over analyzing, but I feel like she is making fun of the ever rising emergence of hipsters. Hipsters, who are just people that like music that makes them cool and unique, seem like they don't even actually care about the music. They are just as superficial as the mainstream audience that they loathe. I'm not sure what the video is about, that one went a little too over my head. I'm probably not eccentric enough. I felt like the people dying were becoming corrupt in some way, much like Monae's video.
Analyzing these two artists reminds me of another rising group of artists. The rap collective Odd Future, who are absolutely blowing up right now, join Santogold and Monae in the battle against conformity, but in the genre of Hip-Hop. Their most famous single, released by the artist Tyler, The Creator (he founded the group), is Yonkers. Unlike mainstream hip-hop (exception of a few artists such as Kanye West, etc.) it is raw and edgy. The group is made up of a young and angry bunch of teens who skate/cause trouble and feel that "they are more talented than 40 year old rappers talking about Gucci." However, some of their lyrics are extremely grotesque and offensive. Just like any influential artist, I can see how it could be taken the wrong way. For example, Tyler in his song Yonkers attacks artists that are ruining music.
"(What you think of Hayley Williams?) F--- her, Wolf Haley robbin' 'em
I'll crash that f---in' airplane that that f----t n---a B.o.B is in
And stab Bruno Mars in his goddamn esophagus, and won't stop until the cops come in."
Yes, these are some brutal lyrics, but to me it is much more effective than saying, "I don't like the music of B.o.B. Also, the youth and somewhat immaturity is reflected in the obvious homophobic language displayed in some of their songs. I think it is these elements that make the Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them all so genuine. Like Santogold, they dislike the whole hipster aspect that is going around behind underground music. Honestly, it is kind of obnoxious when people talk to me about how long ago they liked a band, and not the actual music. I think that this is the superficiality that Santogold was trying to get at.
I know this is somewhat poorly written, but I was just bored and its 3 A.M, and this topic seemed interesting. Basically, don't turn on your radio, and search the internet for artists with actual talent.
In Janelle Monae’s short film “Many Moons” and Santigold’s video “L.E.S. Articles” both videos use multiple depictions of enslavement to suggest that there is oppression on black females. Janelle Monae’s short film starts with a woman with French accent introducing a fashion show by something under the lines of “The images we present may be fake and designed by computers, but the only thing that matters is that they are beautiful.” This is noteworthy for Black females who are known for going to extreme lengths to make themselves look presentable. Janelle Monae attacks the Black women’s hair multiple times in the video. In some parts of the video, her facial expressions do not shift. This happens to convey to the audience an association to Monae at this time to a senseless robot. In one quick scene when is in this act, she is sitting down wearing artificial hair as someone brushes it for her. This is noticeable because Janelle Monae’s hair through most of this short film is not like this. It looks thick and afro- like just like Black people’s hair naturally looks like. Also in the middle of this short film Monae begins her “Cybernetic Chantdown” in which she says a lot of different words that connect to each other. For example she says “Overweight, self esteem” in order to show acknowledge that these words are supposed to be associated together by society. She also says “Black girl, bad hair” which comes back to this topic. Black women change their hair in order to fit into society but the fact that they have to change it means something was “wrong” in the first place. This is probably why she says that “Your freedom is in a bind” because while Black women are able to get hair so that they resemble white people more, this means that they are abolishing who they are and conforming to a different type of beauty that has been named the only type of beauty.
ReplyDeleteSantigold addresses issues in another way. In her video, people are seen lying dead and being killed but instead of blood, things like fruit and candy are seen coming out of their bodies. This and the chorus she quotes many times in her song, “Everyday I hope that it will be worth what I give up … I stand up for the things I believe in” work to show her message. These people are probably suffering and seen dead because they were standing up for what they believe in. The fruit coming out of their bodies represent the liberal ideas that these people had and their desire to change things for a nurturing better thing, because fruit are nurturing and have a sense of newness to them. The setting of the video should be examined. The time period of these people lying dead on the floor looks like the time around civil rights, so this time era is used to bring more implications of some sort of oppression and a hope for escape. These ideas work with this topic when considering the beginning of the video. She is sitting on a horse with most of her body covered singing. She has one girl on both sides of her who are also dressed conservatively compared to videos consisting of black people. There are body shots of these females, but since their bodies aren’t very nude it isn’t seen as sexual. This is shows how Santigold hopes to change how black women are portrayed in videos.
Both of these artists use past ideas of oppression in order to show the audience for Janelle Monae that Black hair is an issue and for Santigold the depiction of nudity of black females in video should be ignored.
Janelle Monae’s music video, Many Moons, is a clear opposition against the norms and expectations of today’s society in regards to media portrayal. Today, our version of entertainment has evolved to entail vulgarities such as nude women, explicit lyrics, and all other things revolving around the sex industry. Why has this occurred? There is a plethora of possible explanations, yet one sticks out like a sore thumb: Sex sells. Monae has an obvious recognition of this societal evolution and produces the video Many Moons that glimpses on current controversial issues that are still hovering the minds in the media. “Civil rights, civil war
ReplyDeleteHood rat, crack whore, Outcast, weirdo, Stepchild, freak show, Overweight, self esteem, Heroin user, coke head…” The list goes on and on in Monae’s video.
Monae herself is defiant of the ordinary female sex symbol as she dresses in a tuxedo, covering her entire body and actually dances, as opposed to other females who glamorize their sexual curves. This self-presentation adds to her position on the modern day female musician. The video does contain a message, both visually and from a rhetorical stance. She captures the reader’s attention from the “oddness” of her video, relying on the fact that because it is so unique, it is appealing to the audience. Her theme, as well, is how society’s overwhelming expectations for a female in the media can break someone and ruin their reputation. An example of this is near the conclusion of the short film, as the tempo of which Monae’s dances begins to increase, eventually leading to a climax where she ends up losing all her energy, or dying in a sense. Her message is to escape the binds of the media.
The Many Moons music video is relevant to our discussion about black female sexuality in the media because it is exactly that. Janelle Monae is a black female artist who does not incorporate sexuality or sexual prowess as factors that will affect her music video, a.k.a. the media.
Alike Monae’s video, Santigold has a similar video titled Les Artistes. In comparison to Monae’s Many Moons, there is no sexuality involved, there are no asses and g-strings hanging out, and the style of the video can be categorized as odd. Santigold’s lyrics also suggest a message similar to Monae’s video. A black female artist is attempting to demonstrate her independence with respect to other people’s opinion, including the media. Because her video is so strange, but at the same time has an explicit touch to it, it is appealing and interesting. There is some factor between both sexuality and individuality that is intriguing which interests the general, pop culture that is so criticizing of these types of videos. What this factor is is a mystery to me still.
Other modern artists who defy the expectations of today’s media include Cee-Lo Green and perhaps even Rihanna. Although Rihanna has conformed to the sexual female artist which society has become to like, she is still defiant of what others think about her. Her video “S&M” is a clear demonstration of this as she puts those who speak badly of her “on blast” so to speak. In any case, these artists go against the cultural phenomenon known by the phrase “sex sells.” They rely on pure talent to portray their image and message to the audience, which is what makes them so unique.
In Janelle Monae’s video for her song Many Moons, it starts off with an auction sale of androids. Where Monae, plays all of them in different outfits, I got a sense of equality out of this, because no matter what all of them wore, inside they were the same person. But I also noticed, that just like they are dressed different, that represents everyone’s strive to be different and stand out. The androids were being bought, which in other words means that we are being bought by society, the media, and everything we see. The lyrics at the beginning are also very strong, starting off with, “We're dancing free but we're stuck here underground, And everybody trying to figure they way out” then, “We march all around til' the sun goes down night children, Broken dreams, no sunshine, endless crimes, we long for freedom (for freedom), you’re free, but in your mind, your freedom’s in a bind”. She uses repetition on freedom to put an emphasis on the importance that this line has on this verse. We’re dancing free: we may think we’re free, but we’re stuck here underground: but we’re trapped in our own little world, our mind. And everybody trying to figure they way out: self explanatory, we want out, we’re looking for a way to escape our own reality, our thoughts. We march all around till the sun goes down: this is where the androids idea comes in, we’re sort of being compared to robots. Broken dreams, no sunshine: like robots, working without a purpose, all hopes lost, and just having a routine, boring lifestyle, no sunshine: no way out of this neverending cycle. Endless crimes: I think this can relate to the part at the end of the song, where she’s just reciting a bunch of random words about worldly issues. We long for freedom: we desire and wish we had the freedom to do as we want, whether financially, emotionally, religious choice, sex preference, or whatever it may be that we seek for acceptance out of society. The last android, is the one that comes out strong, and seems different and almost unchanged, as opposed to the other ones, this is the one that the people want, and awed for. The one that’s willing to be bold and different. In the song she asks “tell me, are you bold enough to reach for love?” are you willing to be different than the rest? and I think this relates to the part where in the end, the brides come and get her. Why brides? Because brides are a representation of love and purity. At the end of the video she dies, which portrays that ultimately the only way out is death, and you’re given the choice of love or to go with them, in peace (rest). The song ends with the message of “change your life” which I think was the whole purpose of the video, which is to inform and be an eyeopener to people, that maybe it is ok to be different, and not go along with the crowd, and what the (bad) world does.
ReplyDeleteAbout the singer, this goes back to our discussion in class about black female sexuality in the media, Janelle, wears a tuxedo to portray women empowerment, and in a way to prove that you don’t have to expose or be overly sexy to get a message across to your audience. Her dance moves and footwork in the video are very relevant to her lyrics, almost as if she acted out her song. I love her as an artist! I find her very inspiring, I love the fact that she’s different and that there’s actually meaning behind every one of her lyrics.
The second video L.E.S Artistes by Santigold also brings upon the issue of society deprived of their own freedom by society itself. It shows images of people killing each other, which is stating that people have become apathetic, and lost the love for one another. Another message that I think both of these songs share is that if you lose your love or sense of goodness, you lose your freedom, by other bad influences.” I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up, If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe.” This line from the song, portrays that we should not lose our beliefs and values, that unlike everyone out there who is killing with mean words, we should be different, and stand out, stand up for strong for what we believe in. this could relate to Many Moons, because in the end, the “different” android, is the one that was the strongest, the one that everyone wanted. “Change, change, change, I want to get up out of my skin, tell you what, if I can shake it, I'm a make this something worth dreaming of” Santigold’s song ends with this line. And just like the other song, it suggest that you change your lifestyle and break out to find the freedom that you’ve longed for. The freedom out of your on skin, and if you do achieve it, it’ll be something worth dreaming of, in a way, sort of find the light at the end of the tunnel, making the whole journey (life) worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteP.S had to post two separate ones because i went over my limit, sorry! :)
