THEY OPENED THE SHOW WITH JANELLE MONAE IN MIDSOMMAR FLOWER GARB IN FRONT OF DANCING JOKERS WISHING THE AUDIENCE HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH— Sam Sanders (@samsanders) February 10, 2020
📎 The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST. Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else. When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else. #jaiyeorie ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣
