Ariana Grande’s Positions album is fire, and it’s one that’s been heavy in rotation on my playlist during this pandemic. It released last October, and I just happened to stumble across it one evening while looking for some chill music to vibe to. I honestly haven’t heard an Ariana Grande song I didn’t like and it’s obvious that this girl is clearly talented. I’ve listened to Positions from beginning to end multiple times and I love that I can chill to it, workout to it, and even put it on when I’m heading out for a coffee run. Ariana has an incredible voice, a signature style and presence, and isn’t shy about what she wants, which collectively makes Positions an enjoyable listening experience. It’s fun, playful, and all kinds of bold. Plus, it’s the perfect album to kick back to just in time for both Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day this month. If you’re checking for some cool music, press play and check out Ariana Grande’s Positions album. Enjoy!

Then in mid-spring, my dad held an unexpected family meeting that would change all our lives forever. He hesitated at first, and as his voice started cracking and he started crying, he said, “Well, I wanted to talk to ya’ll to tell you that I have kidney disea...
