    I never really paid attention to Michelle before, I didn't really think about listening to her or knowing her better because I thought there would be little to no connection to what she has to say. Neither did I really have any role model to look up to. After watching a few interviews of hers, I'm changing my mind. She feels very relatable, down to earth, and quite like... me. I hope I can learn from her some more.

Live music makes me very happy. If the government wants to help the mental health of it's people sponsor musicians and artists to play free concerts and make public works of art. It's impossible to feel sad when you are surrounded with bright colors beauty and listening to good music. Of course food and shelter and clean air and water aside.
