Whitney was my first album. It was a tape that I played over and over in my ghetto blaster. Later I would buy my first single LP of "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and play it over and over on my birthday present stereo - double tape deck with record player.
I just rocked out to this song a few days ago when it came on at work.
We all have vices. I can't imagine having them under the public's scrutiny. Whitney's passing makes me sad but it makes me slow down and check in. She was only just 12 years older than me and it feels a little too close for comfort.
Am I in touch with my vices? Am I taking care of myself? Dearest Whitney, Rest In Peace. Let us all pause and take it in. Let not your life and death be in vain. XO. S
