I stretch out on the floor listening to Over Here by PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake. My heart beat is slowing down so I know it's time to get up. I take a quick glance at my phone to see what time it is. It's 2: 30 p.m, I've been here for eight hours. FUny how time works whe your doing what you love.

I leave the studio and head down the hallway to the bathroom I need to freshen up before I leave. It's 95 degrees outside and i'm not trying to be out there smelling like a swamp if i'm suppose to ride the bus today. I head into the shower room and head straight for the mirror at the back of the room to try and control the mass of curls on top of my head. My worst fears have come true my hair has fallen out of its ponytail. It'll take me forever to comb it back, to at least look decent. But as the warm air hits my hair this burgundy mass of curls is just gonna get curlier and less manageable than it can capably be. I throw my turquoise gym bag onto the sink and rummage through my bag to find my wide tooth comb. As soon as I do my phone rings. It's Mama, I set the phone in the crook of my neck and lean towards it. While I get a start on my curls

"Hello" I say

" Hey sweetie, Are you at the studio?" Mama speaks into the phone

"Yeah I just finish up. I'm about to go take a shower and leave. Why? What's up?"

"Your sisters coming over and i'm making dinner i was wondering if you can stop off at the supermarket and grab a couple things for me."

" Sure why not. What you making? "

" Your favorite sweetie - she smiles into the phone- curry chicken and rice and rum cake."

- At that my stomach starts to grumble and i realize i haven't eaten all day-

" MMMMMMM okay Mama what you want me to get?"

- she list off all the ingredient, and i scribble them down in a vault in my mind to remember later-

" hurry and come pickney because i need to get a start on it "

"Okay Mama, love you mwuah" I kiss into the phone

" Love you too sweetie"

The phone clicks and I put it down getting back to attempting to fix the curls, but my hair is not having it today. i huff into the mirror and just decide to wet it down, at least it will keep me a little cool from the heat i'm about to experience when i leave out. I open up my Personal play list and tap onFor Time by Drake. I undress and step into the shower and i soak myself under the warm flow of water pouring over me. I hum to the lyrics of the song while I lather up my hair. The tension and stress seems to falling away as the warm water pours down my body. I start to smile I kind of feel buoyant, lightweight even. My song fades and I Was Here by Beyonce, my good mood is heighten to a new level. And I start to sing my heart out leaving it all on the floor.

"I was here

I lived, I loved

I was here

I did, I've done everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I wanna leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here

I lived (I lived), I loved

I was here

I did (I did), I've done

I was here

I lived (I lived), I loved (I loved)

I was here (oh)
