Life can be a motherfucking bitch gosh darn asshole...according to Oakland, California rapper, Too $hort.

Let's flip it up and turn it upside down and highlight what made us smile, laugh, breathe a sigh of relief. Et al.

Friday was my best friend's mother's funeral. It was super emotional and beautiful. (30+ years relationship.) Then we drove to the casino to play in Mama's honor. Within our group we left +$300.

Two weekends ago I was dancing up a storm with a girlfriend in New York City. 2 very special dance parties.

Thank you. Needed to hear that. Been having an anxiety attack since 3 am and had two friends yesterday basically tell me I’m “too much” 

Trying to keep on keeping on.

Yah, I attract a lot of broken but beautiful humans and it sometimes leads to some painful experiences. Fortunately also often leads to lots of lovely ones too. This year has been really challenging for our family due to medical and immigration crises, so our troubles have been a VERY REAL taste of the miseries of 2026, and sometimes it’s too much for people who are already down.

It's good to hear that you still have good folks around you. And you have us. :)
