Day 31

With Them by Young Thug

This song is so inspirational that one of my friends literally wrote a his senior paper about it in high school.

Speaking of which, it was his birthday the other day, so shouts goes out to him on this one.

Remember that space cadet I was telling you about? I’ve got another one that lives on the moon, but he’s without a doubt one of my best friends.

He’s a thug disciple. Like I had mentioned earlier, I didn’t quite get the hype until recently. His glow up was peak 2015-2016, arguably 2019 when So Much Fun came out, but I swear people would talk about YSL (specifically Thug & Gunna) like they were the chosen ones. I had friends knowing every word from every song, leak, you name it.

One of the coolest parts, I think, of music is the fan base. There will always be a crew that follows an artist to the ends of the earth. I’d argue it says way more about them than it does the artist. It’s a perfect way to describe my boy.

A very loyal and true friend. Whether you need a ride or help moving (who tf willingly helps people move nowadays) he’s always down to lend a hand and I appreciate that most about him. Not to mention one of the easiest going dudes you’ll meet. Just an all around great guy to be around.

Last summer, there was a particular day where I was just in a mood. I had been goin through it and didn’t really want to be in the crowd, meanwhile all my friends had gone golfing and were out and about clowning around. There were some UFC fights that night. They were all causing a ruckus outside my room while I was trying to get some sleep.

About midway through the night, my friend comes in my room and goes “dude, can you just vibe with us” and after some thought I muscled my way out of bed to be with the lads. My boy put this song on and we danced like absolute idiots the rest of the night.

There were two things I was reminded of that night. One – you get way more out of the act of doing rather than just moping around waiting for things to change. Two, I’m thankful I have someone like my guy around who can change up a mood in a matter of seconds. Preech.
