10 Simple But Powerful Life Lessons From Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen entered my life the way most big loves do: casually, unintendedly, almost unnoticeably. But before I knew it, his music had carved a place in my soul forever.

a song to remember
As a white girl that grew up in a middle-class family, I was so far removed from understanding what it meant to be anything but that. I had always understood the sexism in life, the fact that I would be the one that stepped out of a man’s way or that a man wanting to touch the small of my back or arm was just a formality. I had known it, I had seen it, I had known that women’s rights were still very new to this nation, and I was lucky enough to get to go to school. I was lucky enough to even have a chance that even fifty years ago, women didn’t have. I knew all of this and more at a young age as I cried to my dad when I heard about Malala being shot by the Taliban for going to school, “daddy why can’t other girls go to school?”. I was seven. It was then I was exposed to racism. An idea that I couldn’t even fathom.

The Queen of Rap
1. “Beauty might bring happiness, but happiness always brings beauty.” - I take this as a piece of empowerment. A reminder that beauty exists and that beauty can be created more and more as there are no limits to it.

Sisyphus Love/Hates Rock
My hands gripped the bar tight enough to make the tendons in my wrist pop up from under my skin. My arms shook as I pulled myself up. My ankles crossed as I flexed my knees. The bar was level with my eyes and my back screamed in pain. One thought started to whisper in my ear, “I can’t do it.” I pushed that away. Because I had to. My muscles might shake, but I would overcome my own limitations.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like playlist
I’m feeling melancholy and it may sound strange but all the misty, grey, dysphoria feels delicate and, lovely against my skin. I’m not depressed, I don’t need a good joke, I don’t need to cheer up. I am happy in this moment acknowledging that we live in a beautiful world and that beautiful world lives in every good, bad, big, small, sad, happy, tragic, beginning, middle, end; and then, and now, and forever, if ever. The point, I think, is whatever happens now or next. So here I sit listening to cold play, don’t panic, because i believe that’s always sound advice (be it a book cover, or song title, don’t panic. Just sing along and keep a hold of your towel). I cried a few silent tears and then I smiled and then everything faded out and I was alone in the quiet between tracks. I guess what I’m saying is zero 7 is feminine magic, and the Arctic monkeys are madness, and lil Wayne is skaterap 808 hoodrock, and Amy Winehouse is my soul, and biggie is the flow, and the wu tang clan is statin islands divine and dirty shoulin shadow ;they ain’t nothing to fuck with. The fact is cash rules everything around me, cream, and I’ll get the money even if it’s just Dolla dolls bill yall. But YouTube red knows nothing of track progression or whatever this is that I’m writing about it. I’m standing on a digital shore where songs roll in and out. I ride the rando wave, and when the beat retreats I wait. I just crested this nostalgia wave and I’m 15 which would be fine if I didn’t hate my swimsuit. Anyway I’m surfing in that self conscious sea of teen angst and hormonal inbalalance but I do not fall, I feel. Dave grohl wonders if everything will ever feel this real forever? (it will), and will it ever be this good again? (possibly); but in this moment everything is as it should be. Maybe it’s because I never stopped, no one ever said when, so I go when it feels right and sometimes I find that I’ve arrived. Not a moment to soon too! Fratellis just showed up with Henrietta and baby Fratelli to bring good times, naughty girls, mischief worth making, and adventures that live forever in raucous stanzas. I’m singing loud and in the key of radder than you. The lyrics taste like cheap bear and fancy cocktails with well liquor. Costello music is every party that happened without anyone’s permission, mischief, mayhem, and memories worth living.

A Twist in My Story
There is nothing more enlightening and more life-changing than a song that moves you. A song that makes you feel something so unique and inspiring that you can't help but listen to it all the time. That song for me is 'A Twist in My Story' by Secondhand Serenade. It sounds so corny to think that or even the fact that I heard this song by accident on Pandora one day just a few years ago and yet it spoke to me in ways I cannot begin to describe.

The most iconic speech of all times
Five years ago, at the Brits awards, Alex Turner, the lead singer of the Arctic Monkeys, had managed to divide the world by making an extraordinarily dramatic award acceptance speech, after the Sheffield’s rockers won the Album of the Year.

An Ode to Hip Hop
I first wrote around this time last year. It served as my first piece to open up my Hip Hop blog. My blog has led me to dive in deeper into Hip Hop, and I've decided to expand on this piece. From my heart to these words you see, I hope you can relate.
