I heard a new radio edit of "Dont Stop", and they sensored the p-diddy line entirely.
It was like
"I wake up in the morning..."
*awkward vocal silence as the beat keeps going*

My youngest nephew turned 21 recently. The day after, his friend died. Aged 20 from an undiagnosed aneurism. They buried her last week.
That thing you keep putting off, but really want to do?
Just do it ♥️

All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl
