i know i dont tweet about her much, mainly because I’m not really active in the fan community! my love for her and her music I’ve kinda always kept to myself. but i wanted to at least share my love for her this way!
so when she made her major debut on victorious, i didn’t really think much of it. was never a huge fan of the show anyway. but it wasn’t until her first album dropped and I stumbled across “honeymoon avenue” and i instantly fell in love.
throughout her discography after the debut, i became hooked. there was something about her music that just always perked me up. not only that, but I just loved how open she was about mental health. made me realize that even people who seem perfect struggle, too.
but it wasn’t until “thank u, next” dropped. this single dropped right after my very first love dumped me after making all of these empty promises of the future. we tried staying friends but on the inside I was still hurting.
one day me and him were hanging out about a week after the break up. I was on my phone and saw the single dropped, so I grabbed my headphones and listened. and i was in awe. I remember looking at him as the song ended and feeling sad but also realizing something.
i realized through this song that the best I could do was forgive, but also forget. so I cut him out of my life. and it helped me heal a lot faster, but because of this song, I healed with a more peaceful mind instead of anger.
the album as a whole came out at a perfect time when my depression was at an all time high. my favorite song is “needy”, where I can fully relate to ari on a personal level. again, it was a reminder that I wasn’t the only one healing from trauma.
in general, i will forever appreciate ari for bringing music that has helped me cope with my life struggles. honestly without her music, the healing process would’ve been harder. so all I can say is... thanks girl. thank you so much for saving me.
