Good Evening, Heartache..

*sigh* Last night, I was in a horrible mood.  It hit me like a ton of bricks, and I realized that I finally needed to release some tears; tears that I've been holding back for a long time now! 

In my pursuit of unhappiness, I started watching various YouTube videos of Jill Scott performing "Hear My Call" (which started the tears btw) to her performing "Good Morning, Heartache."  Eventually, I  ran across Lady Day to assist in the flow of my tears. 

Today, I couldn't get the jazz legend out of my mind, so I figured I'd share a few of her dopest pics with you....


The Classic: Lady Sings the Blues


I had a Billie Holiday Greatest Hits album.... will definitely need to find that for more "rainy days"

If I had a pack of cigarettes last night, I probably would have lit a few of 'em.

And finally, a smirk.. looks like she buried the pain for the day to press forward.  :-)
This wasn't intended to be a discussion post, but I'd like to know, when you realize it's that time to cry, what do you do to get the tears flowing?
