Mac Miller, My Favorite Artist, Is Dead... And I'm Not OK

Saying goodbye to one of my favorite artists.

Mac Miller, My Favorite Artist, Is Dead... And I'm Not OK

I first discovered Mac Miller back in 2011 when he first released his album, "Blue Slide Park." I fell in love with the song "Missed Calls" and I've been a huge fan of his ever since.

You can imagine the feelings I have right now after hearing of his death.

Mac was that type of artist that always made a hard day not seem so bad anymore. He was my go-to for when I needed to cheer up my spirits, release all my emotions, or even focus on studying for a test. He never made a bad album, released a weak song, or disappointed his fans.

His music was not only an inspiration for people like me but for other artists as well. He helped other artists to find their sound, launch their career, and was always there when a friend needed him. "I don't know what to say. Mac Miller took me on my second tour ever. But beyond launching my career he was one of the sweetest guys I ever knew. Great man. I loved him for real. I'm completely broken. God bless him," stated Chance The Rapper.

Mac Miller was a good person. He truly did not deserve this life.

I had the privilege of getting to see him perform on his last tour for his previous album "The Divine Feminine" and it was clear that he wasn't there to perform for the money, but to put on his best show to thank his fans for always being there. Instead of letting the fame get to him, Mac did his very best to give back to his fans in every way he could.

He may be gone, but his impact on my world will never disappear.

Album after album, Mac Miller has continued to touch my heart for seven years. Finding the words to say goodbye to an artist like him is nearly impossible. While his continuance to make music is gone, he blessed our world with eight beautiful albums, filled with life lessons that everyone can relate to.

It's up to us to have his music live on. It's up to us to let the young man from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania have the impact that he always wanted. We cannot let that die too.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
