Every day, I feel as though I read and watch millions of opinions on social media and it's hard to know what I actually think. While trying to stay informed/share as much as possible, I'm also trying to be present in my own life and gather information from books and other, more trusted sources.

faves mentioned:

• book: small joys by elvin james mensah
• mystery lady by masego and don toliver
• suki waterhouse's new album

Personally, I feel a lot of pressure to make the most of every summer and I'm also not a fan of the heat. For motivation and comfort, I made a list of all of the fun things that I'd like to do this summer without any strings attached or external pressure.
