ARTIST PICK OF THE MONTH
DUMBSHITIWRITE is a 19 year old poet/writer from Maryland. Her account @dumbshitiwrite on Instagram is her safe space to share and help through her words. “I started my Instagram for my writing because I felt like I needed to get the stuff on my mind out. I used to write when I was 15 but I stopped because I felt like what I was writing was just me complaining and I thought that meant I was being ungrateful. I write the things I write because it helps me a lot and I post it so it maybe can help someone else who’s going through hard stuff too because it sucks when no one in real life understands you so that’s when a lot of people (like myself) look to the internet for help so that’s why I figured I’d post what I write just in case it helps one person.” “Music has made such an impact in my life. I chose to submit this specific poem because I feel music has definitely made me the person I am today. Most of the time when I think about a memory from my childhood, I instantly think of the music I was currently listening to back then or maybe a certain music video. It’s definitely therapeutic in a way but more so, just a overall great feeling when you discover new music or even when you reconnect with old songs. There’s obviously a sense of nostalgia but it’s also reliving that moment when you were a kid and you are waiting for an episode of Hannah Montana to come on so you can sing along to the theme song or when High School Musical came on, you knew ALL the songs and felt so happy and accomplished. I think music helps everybody in some way and it’s helped me to this day. I’m just really grateful for it.
