the three E’s youre afraid of (its not rapper Emenem) 🥊 PLD61

naii.io

and its not the candy M&M → EmEndEm, either

im talking about

the E’s you would rather not talk about

because they require you to show courage

E for Embrace
E for Express
E for Embarrass

so do you EEE yourself?

rosalia - chicken teriyaki

im not saying when you embrace and express yourself

that you also embarrass yourself

im saying

you are okay to pay the price to embarrass yourself

when what youre doing is to embrace and express yourself

but its not you who feels embarrassed about yourself

its others who feel embarrassed about themselves

when they dont have the balls and tits

that you show metaphorically and sometimes literally

for the pursuit of true unhinged expression

so that restrictions dont apply

and artistic expression is the only valid pursuit

.
.

im also not saying copy what rosalía has been doing

squatting against a plain white background

wearing a fitted brown cut-out dress with circular geometric patterns

paired with striking knee-high red boots

featuring clear platform heels and metallic details

with your hair styled in twisted updos with loose strands framing her face

and you gaze back over your shoulder

with a confident, edgy expression

bold

futuristic

avant-garde

rosalia

no im not saying that

you do you

but the truth is

do you want to be seen

or do you want to be forgotten

because you were never seen in the first place?

♫ pero tú no me has olvidao
♫ no me has olvidao, no me has olvidao

but you havent forgotten me
you havent forgotten me, you havent forgotten me

oh, one last thing before you go...

he was a superstar
everybody loved him
he reached for the stars
and become one as he ascended
on top of the world he looked down on us
and he realized "there is nobody here but me"
but he was stuck up there because He told him to
so he sent his angles down to earth
delivering a message for everyone to understand
DONT GET FACE FAMOUS
ITS A TRAP
create a message instead
and become invisible to the eye
and clearly visible to the mind
and thats why i became a writer

and look, i dont have a problem that only one person has bought my book so far

but my bank account clearly is suffering

so read summer smile FOR FREE and... smile

and then pay what you want after you read it
