Another side note, he just announced a live North America tour today😳🤩

Found what it was sampled from! Joan Miro herself. I’ll try to find the other songs she is sampled in.

It’s funny, but I just keep imagining what 40yo me would think of me now. If you look at relationship subreddits for example…most of the posts are from 18-26yos. 40yos could rarely ever bother having the same issues as someone who is of that age. They are past all of that stuff. I’m 26, and I am always amazed at how much I have changed since 24…let alone 21 and 18 etc….oof even 10 years ago! Being 16….🥴 Heartbreaks I had at 22 that I never thought I’d get over are a bleak memory now, turmoil over growing up with an abusive parent is just the past, 2008 financial crisis and losing my home as a kid…abusive relationships at 18…all the past. etc I suffered from suicidal ideation and depression from ages 10-22. I never truly could say I loved myself. When I imagined myself still getting into the same kinds of abusive relationships and negative depressive thought patterns and still flunking my college classes at the age of 30… I cringed. 22 was long enough, and I put my foot down that I won’t live another year like that. 40 year old me would be so grateful that I started when I did and waited no longer. Self-development takes years and decades…realistically, your whole life. It’s best to start building it now so you can at least genuinely smile then. There will always be struggles either way, might as well learn to develop yourself from them. Aging and maturing isn’t obviously the whole answer here…there are silly 40+yos out there of course lol. It’s about knowing you’ll get past it because you have before, and life is always more surprising than you expect it to be, so it’s always worth it to keep going and immersing yourself into it.

I like the idea of positively including tech/AI, would hope for a healthy balance of it though:) Worked with behavioral problems in kids for 2 years… just going to say that 98% of them had a tablet/phone addiction, and 85% of them had the tech addiction being their top main barrier to functioning/most behavioral issues surrounding it. It was difficult to witness, let alone work with. Not sure what more needs to be done besides educating parents more/barring these devices until a certain age. On another note…Andre 3000 making his new album the way he did…I would suppose is another formulation for what people will evolve into next. Normalizing such awakenings in the mainstream is fun to see:)

@CARDOZZO Haven’t listened in-depth to Berlioz yet, so I am inspired to now! The woman speaking that is sampled in Miro, haven’t figured out who she is. She appears on a lot of other songs too.

oof. I was hoping some of the takes on this forum would have more quality than those on a Reddit thread😮‍💨 simply choosing one is a tad bit reductionist, no?

I love Berlioz! “Miro” is my favorite song:)

I know you started off by saying this bodes well with men…but definitely just as much with women, who have little to none of these outlets/experiences in their daily life, or at any point in life at all. Happy to apply some of these:)

So no one else wants to report this comment as radical hate speech? lol

@koops did a thorough post on this that I’ve been using

Human Services classes, if your university has them. They were a complete game changer for me, so much so that I am double majoring in it along with Psychology. Would have been my sole major if I knew about it from the beginning. Human Services is much more intensely related to self-development and getting your inner work done. I wouldn’t go to a therapist who did Psychology over Human Services now…

Interesting :0 well is that’s truly so, then she was maybe projecting aha. but yeah, I’d feel wildly uncomfortable if I was bold enough to meet a stranger at their club. Second-guessing and everything. Only until I was successfully made to not feel so.

André 3000 dropped a new album today, after 17 years. It’s purely instrumental, and in his interview with NPR, he talks about why that is, along with talking about his song about his Ayuaschsa journey. Take a listen to the album and the 7min interview:) https://open.spotify.com/album/33Ek6daAL3oXyQIV1uoItD?si=1zORX26hQo-9L0Zvdt5v-A https://www.npr.org/2023/11/17/1213890406/andre-3000-on-his-new-album-the-first-in-17-years

Yeah, the worst feeling ever is being perceived as an unwanted stalker haha, so it was very bold of her to go through with it. Would have been good to make her feel welcome and that it wasn’t odd of her to be there.

Make her feel welcomed in your space. Technically since you go there so often, the place is more so yours than not, so treat it like your second home. She entered your space, and probably did not know how to engage in it without your lead. Should have offered her a drink and asked her how she liked the place etc…and go from there. Get her at ease in a place you’re super familiar in that she’s not. She came there for you, not the place, and probably didn’t want to feel like she was intruding if you didn’t make a move.
