She will always be with me 🥰
After hurrying up to wait this morning, I now have a room. It’s weird being in a barracks room again because it’s been a good while since I lived in one. I miss my Lovesac sectional right about now. I am now that responsible person I use to make fun of while I was stationed in Germany that lived in the barracks. The older one we could never understand why they kept to themselves and didn’t join in on our shenanigans. Well, now I know.
Anyhow, while unpacking my bags, I put on my usual playlist. This playlist is pretty much any R&B music before 2000. For some reason Mary J. Blige kept playing. It reminded me of Shauntel. She loved her some Mary. One of the last concerts we attended together was Mary J. at Essence Festival. I have been having moments of missing her every day and even more so being here in Korea. Before I started to un-pack, I had a good long cry. I miss her so much. I want to call her and share all that is going on. She would have gotten a kick out of my room mates bed collapsing last night. Her laugh would have sent me into further hysterics. So, when I started to unload my suit cases, I felt a calming presence. Every Mary song that came on, she happen to perform at Essence Festival that year. My tears turned into laughs thinking about that evening. The last thing that I took out of my luggage was the license plate from Shauntel's car. This is a special plate and one of the only things I really wanted of her's. As I pulled it out of my luggage and ran my fingers over the letters, one of my favorite songs by Mary came on, “Everything”. That was all Shauntel, she is definitely here with me. I needed that reminder today.
