    “New decades resolution was to spend more time at my instrument than at a laptop,” Blake wrote in the Instagram post. “So here’s a cover I play of a song I helped write - Godspeed by Frank Ocean. I think I messed up a lyric near the beginning but hey, none of these are gonna be perfect.”

    Between school and being a High Risk Essential Worker I have been diligently working on getting it uploaded on the streaming services I have available to me when I have time to. So far I’ve managed to upload it on SoundCloud. Spotify is in the works but it’ll take a few extra days. How many? Well I just couldn’t tell you exactly so please be patient with me. So make sure you check out my soundcloud link in the description and follow me if you’re on that platform. & also follow me on Spotify because it will be uploaded there next when everything gets approved/ verified and what not. While you at it follow me on my socials to stay updated they’re all in the description! Thanks for stopping by and enjoying his cover!

That afternoon, he experienced organ failure. Through tears I told him “it’s going to be okay baby, I’ll see you one day..” as he whined and cried of the pain .

    wishing you godspeed, glory
    there will be mountains you won't move
    still i’ll always be there for you
    how i do
    i let go of my claim on you
    it’s a free world
    you look down on where you came from sometimes
    but you'll have this place to call home always
    (glory, glory, glory, glory)
    this love will keep us through blinding of the eyes, silence in the ears, darkness of the mind (x 4)

    My gf broke up with me. Says she'd always be there for me. Says she'd always love me. I kept trying to reach out to her but she fell out of love when we were long distance so when we came back she wasn't the same. I felt it. Miscommunication led to one thing and then another until we broke up. She was so pure. I miss her. Everyday I think about her. I just don't think she could say the same. It's silly, I know. I kept all of our pictures and stuff. Idk if I should throw everything away or what. I feel like she moved on and honestly I hope she did. I think seeing that she doesn't care or that she's with someone else will break my heart enough for me to let go. I still love her. I stopped texting her when she became a little volatile and sensitive to what I was saying. She said she wanted to be friends, but when I try to talk to her like my other friends she gets mad and tries to push me out. I got the memo. I haven't texted her in a month. I'm tempted to everyday, but I think this is for the best.
    I wish her Godspeed.

      @@scoot.99 You're so inspirational. I reached out to her a few weeks ago to see if she was OK. (Her city was on fire.) She replied and asked the same from me. Then I replied and asked about her personal life, but I was left to nothing. Ghosted. That was almost 2 weeks ago. I still think about her all of the time, but less and less as the days go by. I've honestly tried reaching out to her multiple times after our relationship. I tried being normal as she suggested, but nothing worked. I decided to just give her space. I hadn't spoken to her for about 3 months before I reached out to see if she was ok. I think if she cared, that she would've responded. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe she didn't see the message or forgot, but wouldn't you think that she'd reach out to me at least once? Anytime we made contact was because of me. I want to take a step forward, be brave, and let her know how I feel in order to see if she feels the same, but it seems like her signs all point to her not caring as much as i do/did.

      Charlie McKenna I recently broke up with my bf even tho I still loved him. it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I had ‘a lot of’ reasons and ofc told him them. He didn’t quite get it/me, I explained it again but in more detail. He hasn’t msged me til then. We were friends before we became a thing and I still want him as a friend Bc I’ve never met someone like him. I LOVE his personality and the way he is although he made a lot of mistakes, which is fine but I forgive him for too many times. I feel so bad for removing him from everything, insta etc. I told him he could follow/friend me again if he still wanted to have contact with me. And even tho I know that we would not work out as a couple in the future, I still feel so bad for what ‘I did’ and still think if it was the right thing to do. He will never contact me again, I know it and it hurts. I could contact him too but an ex contacting their ex? That doesn’t sound right, does it? Life has become very hard since then but I’m becoming better.

      1D0n7kn0wWh4770D0 if someone really cares about you, they shouldn’t keep hatred for them, i for one dont hate my ex, i know some of my friends might not like him but i still want him as a friend. i he really cared he would understand your side of the story, and if he doesn’t hes not worth worrying over, you can do this, i really believe in you💕 dont let other people’s opinions cloud your beautiful mind💕

    I pulled up to a diner late one night on my motorcycle ,I was riding around to clear my head of some things I was dealing with .I walked inside and I saw this beautiful girl sitting in a booth ,I took a seat at the counter ,I looked back at her and she smiled at me and with a nod invited me over ,I took my coffee and sat across from her .at that very moment this song started playing on someone’s cell phone.we had a pleasant conversation for a couple of moments with this song playing like the soundtrack to a movie.at the end she said ‘my rides here’ she got up and stood over me and said’ whatever is chasing you ... will never catch you on that thing”she nodded toward my bike...with that she walked away ..I have gone over that night so many times in my head so many ‘what ifs’ with this girl .i never saw her again .but I will always have those special couple of minutes ..I wonder if she even remembers it happening ..

    I will always love you how I do
    Let go of a prayer for you
    Just a sweet word
    The table is prepared for you
    (Ooh, ooh, ooh) x3
    Wishing you godspeed, glory
    There will be mountains you won't move
    Still I'll always be there for you
    How I do
    I let go of my claim on you
    It's a free world
    You look down on where you came from sometimes
    But you'll have this place to call home always
    (Glory, glory, glory, glory)
    This love will keep us through blinding of the eyes , silence in the ears, darkness of the mind (x4)
    Enjoy :)❤️
