Renaissance saved me...
I think there was a time I would quietly roll my eyes at people that said an artist or an album "saved them", I couldn't comprehend something being that impactful to one's life...
Today I was feeling some major stress/anxiety and it was wearing me out - I hit the gym, did a couple meditations, the feeling wouldn't ease up. Then I was thought duh, put on Renaissance and just hit play and I just vibed through the journey. It was an immediate shift for me.
And it got me pondering, remembering how many times this album has done just that. I lost my father close to when Renaissance came out, and it was the darkest time in my life. This album has quite literally pulled me out of despair and a broken heart on many occasions. Being able to put it on and dance, celebrate, cry, whatever I needed... In the thick of it just hearing her voice felt like a loved one holding me. This album has quite literally supported my soul and helped me heal.
This is why I will forever and always ride for Beyonce so hard!! I love that woman ❤️
