her robotic, glacial voice; the blood; the gasps from the crowd; the way her mic hits the ground on beat with the song; its performance at its peak

iconic

she gave unhinged women our rights

i watch this video exactly once a month and it gives me full body asmr

when derrick barry said people died at stonewall this is what he was referring to

Still one of my favorite performances of all time

“In my time of dying, I want nobody to mourn. All I want for you to do is take my body home…”

— Chris Cornell’s last song on stage right before his suicide: In My Time Of Dying by Led Zeppelin

little things i’ve learned:

one: pay attention to the music you’re relating to. sometimes it’s a clear indicator that something is wrong. other times, it’s an indicator that something is very, very right. when the latter happens, pay extra close attention.

two: true control is subtle, not obsessive. you may not even know that you have it when you do. people who are in control do not question it. they just are.

three: never pass up the opportunity to stick the tips of your fingers out the window of a moving car. feel the wind carry you to the sound of your favorite songs. this is a reminder that you’re alive.

four: thoughts don’t have to mean anything. you can just let them be there.

five: notice when you’re struggling and allow yourself some leeway when you do. however, learn the difference between giving yourself leeway and enabling your struggle. 

six: you cannot build self-love from a foundation of self-hatred. first, work toward self-acceptance. love will follow.

seven: do not love others simply because they love you back. do not expend your love on people who won’t love you back. 

eight: don’t forget to stop and look around. take a moment a day to stop doing and just be. the mindfulness hype isn’t overrated. there’s a reason for it.

nine: setting limits and saying no will not end any relationship worth keeping. 

ten: friendships built on moments of competitive misery are not healthy. if you find that you’re having the urge to constantly showcase your misery around someone, take that as a red flag. sadness is not a competition you want to win.

eleven: recovery is not about being happy. some days you will feel bored and flat. but these days are still better than those you built around destroying yourself. these days are still victories. recovery is about being alive.

twelve: when you’ve built an identity around being sad, the concept of happiness may scare you. giving that sadness up will strip you of most everything and leave you feeling empty. embrace this emptiness and fill it up with exploration. you’ll find that it’s worth it.

thirteen: you will not come out of your coldest days the same as you were going into them. this is not a bad thing. someday, you’ll be warm enough to feel the sun on your face again.

The different reactions regarding Tony’s death among fans I feel like it really depends on who you identify with in this situation. I watched it with my mum who is also an Iron Man fan and while I was fuming, devastated and feeling like I have lost someone real, she was heartbroken but she felt calm and satisfied and was at peace with it. Among my different groups of friends who are girls in their 20s, some of them are not necessary a die hard Tony stan but their reactions were same as mine, agonising; and while their boyfriends, my brother and cousins whose fave is also Iron Man, they were crushed and upset, but their reactions were nowhere like mine, they found his death accepting. 

And I see that, fans like me who find it really hard to accept and are exasperated about how unfair it is for Tony, we view his death from the perspective of characters like Pepper, Morgan and Peter, because we are the wives, daughters and sons to someone, we love Tony but we don’t see ourselves as Tony, he is someone who we love and adore and emotionally dependant on. We don’t want to see him gone because we don’t want to imagine a life without him. His death left a void and we have to fill it with whatever emotions we find available. 

And fans who are at peace with his death, who see it as a perfect way to end his journey, he died a victorious hero and he gave up his life to save the universe, they identify themselves with Tony. They love Tony because they see themselves in him, they see it as if they were in his position, they would gladly do the same and have no regrets. It’s the perfect death one could ask for, because you die protecting the ones you love, the future for your children. 

I want to share this little observation here because both reactions are valid, and Tony fans here should stop telling each other how one should see and react to his death, because it’s just the matter of perspectives and who you see yourself as in this situation.
