Lighting my way
to guide me

Do I ever cross your mind? // And I’m not trying to ruin your happiness // But darling, don’t you know that I’m the only one for you?
Love this Shawn Mendes song! I love the John Mayer-esque style of this song, and the raw emotion he has. Shawn Mendes has really grown since Handwritten, and this song from Illuminate highlights that perfectly. Not only does his songwriting have a lot more emotional depth, not that Handwritten didn’t have a lot of great songs, but his voice has become a lot better. His slightly raspy tone mixed with those guitar riffs really makes this song so special. He captures the turmoil in these lyrics perfectly. This song is definitely one of the best on Illuminate, even though it doesn’t get as much credit as his other singles.
Someone help me // I’m crawling in my skin
Love this new song from Shawn Mendes. His sound has matured so much since his debut single, and I feel like that growth is highlighted so well in this song. The topic is much heavier than other songs he’s released before, and you can feel the rawness and realness in his voice and in the words he sings. It also has a slight John Mayer/James Bay vibe to it. It’s a great step in coming into his own as a singer/songwriter.
Also f*** you for being a living art piece I can't look at you without feeling inadequate.
Beloved child, thou shalt not compare your mortal self to ethereal beings sent from above and beyond. You are precious just the way you were made - and I am here to shed light on that, even in your darkest hour. 🖤

I spent the day by myself working on my boat. There is something truly relaxing about time spent on the water doing things that I love. It’s been a really stressful 2021, is been emotionally exhausting, taxing, frustrating, and has delivered a lot of hardships.
I’m hopeful that there will be a path that is illuminated for me, a path of meaningful employment that can sustain myself and my family. I have to believe that everything is planned and that this too was a necessary growth stage to help me understand my new path when it presents itself.
I have the most incredible man by my side, showering me with encouragement, love, support, and a powerful winning mindset. Together nothing will stand in our way, I’m going to marry this man.
