I WOULD LEAVE ME IF I COULD by Halsey – Book
I listened to a book of poetry by Halsey this week and I really enjoyed it. It’s a fairly short listen that gave me a deeper look into Halsey’s mind and artistic expression. There were some poems from the book that were pieces or even whole songs from her discography and others that were never…

I listened to this book this past week and it has me thinking about what kind of relationships I seek out and why that is. First off, I recommend that if you decide to listen, skip the first four chapters and just start on chapter 5. This book has a lot of accounts of people’s…
The Bizarre World of 100 Gecs – YouTube Documentary
I love learning about the journeys that artists take to create their work.
