I just had to end a relationship yesterday and I am just very very sad to say the least. I’m making a playlist as a distraction/an attempt to get all the crying out 😭.

I’m mostly curious about what songs other people listen to fresh after a break up and also want some more songs to add. These are the ones I’ve put in so far. It’s mostly newer R&B and I want songs from any era that will make me cry and potentially feel worse lmaooo thanks in advance :)🫶🏾

Usually I would have been to more shows by now. But I saw FatM for the first time ever after being a fan since I was about 9/10 years old. It was my second? solo concert and was everything I could have wanted! I cried multiple times and left sooo happy and light.

and I saw Elmiene a few days afterwards. He’s been one of my favorite artists for the past few years and this is my second time seeing him perform. He was amazing as per usual!

I wish I would’ve gotten someone to take a full picture of my FatM outfit but a mirror pic doesn’t hurt🌟

Like many others, I am a big fan of Black Cake and recommend it often to others. So when I saw this book in the library, I picked it up because I obviously enjoyed her work so far.

I just finished Good Dirt and it took me about a week to finish. It has the same short chapter structure with brief looks into different character’s lives and through time as Black Cake which helps make it an easy read imo.

I think I could have finished it sooner but I started to lose intrigue towards the last 100 pages of the book. There were a few characters who I didn’t think needed as much focus as they got and personally, I felt the story started to center white characters unnecessarily even though the book centers around a wealthy Black family in the northeast who naturally will be around white people. I think I also just wanted to finish it already so the last 50 pages weren’t as enjoyable and felt fluffy.

If I had to rate it, I give it a 3/5 ⭐️ because it is well written and I like the exploration of family dynamics through death and a family heirloom. I still think you should read it if you’re interested though.

Has anyone else read this? If so, how did you feel about it? :)
