__________ THIS: APRIL 2016


via GIPHY
         
       Geez, spring has come along already, I turned 20 last week and things are getting crazy. 2016 has been a whirlwind of new opportunities, emotions, epiphanies, intrigues, insight and mystery and duuddde it's like already April! Like, what the fuck time? Slow down, yes? No... oh okay, I guess. Since time stops for no bitch I figured I'd compile a second __________ THIS list. Here goes nothing babes:

LISTEN TO THIS:

     Ladies and Gents and those who choose to refrain from the binary, as you know we will take submissions from any one of you and this month, my wonderful sista from another mista CASSANDRA TORRES has blessed us with her superb taste in music and compiled a playlist for you all, thanks babe. Listen, Dance, Sing, Enjoy:

WATCH THIS:

1. Iris (Documentary/Directed by Albert Maysles/Starring Iris Apfel)

2. Cake (Drama/Directed by Daniel Barnz/Starring Jennifer Anniston)

3. Boys (Drama-LGBT Film/Directed by Mischa Kamp/Starring Gijs Blom)


DO THIS: 

1. Dance in Public
   
    Whether or it be at a club, a concert or even somewhere not conducive to dancing, let the energy         flow through you and as Lady Gaga has put it, "Just dance."

2.  Get Tested
 

   
    If you are a sexually active human, it is your responsibility to get tested! It might sound scary but        it's totally not because knowledge is power babes! You can locate a free testing facility here or ask      your personal doctor to have blood work done for a general check-up. If you live here in El Paso
     you can visit the Tilman Center/ The M Factor at 222 S. Campbell St. They offer a variety of              services including free rapid HIV and Syphilis testing. For more information you can call:                    915-212-0242

3. Ask Someone about their Story

    Take time out of a day where you doing nothing and sit down with a relative, a friend or even total     strange and ask them about themselves. Their dreams, their passions, or even the things they have       overcome. You would be surprised just how much people will open up if you let them and if you         genuine interest. For once allow yourself to get to know someone else other than your self. I tell, it
    will be extremely worthwhile.

SAY THIS:

1. To yourself:

    "I am alive so today I will allow myself to actually live. I am beautiful/handsome/on fleek, I am imperfect and that's okay, I have fears, many of them but today I will let myself be fearless for a short while because I am not infinite and that is also okay. While I am here, I deserve to be happy, while I am here, I deserve some peace, While I am here, I deserve love and I know that the love for me has to start with me."
                              Say it, then do it and please, please, please, believe it.

2. To a Friend/Significant Other/Family Member:

      "There are so many people on this earth so the fact that I got to be a part of your life is highly significant. Thank you. I love you."
