These Are The Tunes Of My Teenage Days
Music is my therapy, my escape, and my way of being understood when I couldn't explain my pain. I'm sure others mention some of the same songs I'll be reminiscing about. These songs helped others out like they helped me get through troubling times. But the stories I have for these songs are different, I'll never forget what these songs did for me, how I found them, and the routines I had when I would escape into the world these songs immersed me into.

Let's Go Back To The Days of The 1980s
The 80s is my favorite decade, I never got to experience that being born in 1995, but I can appreciate what that decade did for ten years in the transition from the 70s. When I was little, my mother still had her clothes from her days in the 80s. I got to see her bright colored shirts and puffy sleeve dresses. I got to wear her scarlet shoulder padded dress around the house. As I got older, anything I wanted was on my retro radar from music to movies. I listened to the one hit wonders and watched all the movies to see the styles. For two years in a row at my high school for the decade day of spirit week, I dressed up as Don Johnson from Miami Vice. I wore white pants, a bright blue shirt and a neon green blazer, and of course, I had a pair of ray bans to finish the look. If there is a style that I want to see make a comeback in the trends, its the looks of the 1980s.

Stripping Away The Beauty Armor
Makeup is like war paint, clothing is like armor. Those are just things we put on our body to decorate ourselves. They do serve a purpose for expressing personality and boosting self-esteem when used in an non-obsessive way. But they do not define women (men and non-binary too, I don't want to leave anyone out).

How Has Courage The Cowardly Dog Changed Children?
Courage the Cowardly Dog was released as a promo in 1996 with "Chicken From Outer Space". That little short animated snippet was enough for a green light to have John R. Dilworth's tale about a terrified little purple anthropomorphic dog facing various frightening foes to be apart of the Cartoon Network lineup in 1998. Now it holds a reputation of inspiration and has grown to be apart of the classics of cartoons. It holds a place in the hearts of all the kids from the new millennium including myself. Courage the Cowardly Dog was the show that had the perfect blend of scares and smarts.

Top 4 Underrated Prince Songs
Prince Rogers Nelson made an impact on the way music is for creativity and challenge. The way music can be created in a new way to twist up the tune of the genres, and how far a song can go about sultry themes. He's the reason why there is a Parents Music Resource Center to warn people of the lyrics, and why there is a warning label of Parental Advisory on the CDs you buy. Prince wasn’t afraid to take a risk; he changed music forever, but music also changed when he died. There will never be another musician like Prince and those doves are always going to cry.

Remembering The Kind Strangers
Interactions happen everyday, it's rare that there are those certain individuals that take their interactions to extend that snippet of time into a moment without a time limit depending on what has happened. It's in human nature to wonder why something has happened, what was the cause of it? How can there be help? It's a conflicting feeling to take that interaction to a personal and causal level, to decide to put their tasks on hold to offer comfort or encouragement to a sad stranger.
