Song 1

One of my favorite songs is rock your body by Justin Timberlake. This song does not relate to me in any way I just like the beat of the song and how catchy it is.

Talk to me, boy
No disrespect, I don't mean no harm
Talk to me, boy
I can't wait to have you in my arms
Talk to me, boy
Hurry up 'cause you're takin' too long
Talk to me, boy
Bet I'll have you naked by the end of this song

My second favorite song is hot Cheetos by Clairo. I like this song because it's just so catchy and it has a very good rhythm and I can just vibe to this song.

Girlfriend or girl that's a friend?

It's easy just to pretend
That we don't have something real, it's just how we feel
We feel
Oh, it's just how we feel
How we feel

Quote

606813_ — 2023-11-09 21:58:00 UTC

This is my favorite quote so far because I think its just so inspirational. To me this quote means to not let others bother you and just keep doing what you do best. My favorite part is "frustrations are self induced" i agree with these because i think frustrations are a thing people let get to them instead of dealing with it and moving on.

Hero

606813_ — 2023-11-09 22:01:32 UTC

MY hero is my mom because she encourages me to succseed in school and to always try me best no matter who thinks i cannot succseed. I look up to my mom because she is a mom who does everthing on her own on a daily basis handling her job and taking care of her 3 kids. I always make sure to help my mom with anything she needs because I know she has always done it for me.

beliefs

606813_ — 2023-11-09 22:10:29 UTC

I believe that every life has feelings and every like matters. But I also believe that the world is a hunt-or-be-hunted world, a sad but true reality. I also believe that all humans should work together to make the world a better place.

My favorite holiday is Christmas because it's very festive and everybody is at peace. My family has a tradition of opening presents at 12, am right when Christmas hits because that's what we have done for generations. I learned that many Hispanic families also do this.
