Fallin’ by Alicia Keys was banned at school during my sixth grade year.

Because the entire school would not stop singing it. All productivity stopped when just one kid started with “I keep on fallin’…”

And then the rest of the class picked it up. Loudly. And then the class next door would hear it. And they picked it up. And then you heard it in the halls. During random points of the day this weird domino effect would take over, and the teachers weren’t able to teach, because they couldn’t be heard over the cacophony of Miss Key’s classic single.

Kids sang it on the bus. They sang it at games. They interrupted Band/Orchestra/Chorus concerts with it. The song interrupted staff assemblies.When that song came on at school dances, the DJ would quake in their shoes as they came to the realization that they unleashed a beast. A loud, unstoppable beast.

It got way the fuck out of hand.

That song caused so much destruction in just a few weeks. The announcements came that any kid caught singing that song, would get detention. And if they were the kid that started a Fallin’ Riot, they got suspended.

Any song was fine. Just not that song.

For months, there was quiet. Well, compared to the Fallin’ era. Finally, we came to the last week of school. It was a lax atmosphere - shorter classes, once testing was over. Kids being allowed to just hang out in the stadium and the gardens. We weren’t punished for having our portable CD players out.

And then, it was the day of the school’s Talent Show.

It was held at the end of the school day. Some of the usual stuff - magicians, singing, one kid made giant bubbles with hula hoops.

Suddenly, a piano was wheeled on stage. This little girl (really, a tiny thing, with her hair in long braids, and wearing golden hoop earrings that were almost the size of her face), took a seat.

I remember that she wore a black tux, with white gloves. Her feet barely touched the pedals.

And then, in a strong voice…

“I keep on fallin’…”

There was an eruption of joy. And then chaos. You couldn’t hear her over the roar. Not that it mattered. She smiled, her performance fueled by what she had done. And kept playing until she finished the song. 

This is the best story I’ve heard all day.

I got catcalled while I was walking the other day and I couldn’t think of anything clever to say so I just made the most hideous shrieking noise I possibly could.

I heard the guys in the car go “the fuck?”

so it was my best friend’s 16th birthday and we had this really intense sexual tension since i kissed him by accident this one time and we were with all our other friends so he took me into another room and said “i literally think i’m in love with you” and then we just kissed for like half an hour until he finally started pulling my shirt up but then his mom walked in and didn’t even flinch like literally “hey son i’m ordering pizza oh hi girl who is making out with my son” and kept talking and we were just standing there uncomfortably and when we finally unfroze he yelled “MOM IT’S MY BIRTHDAY” and that’s the story of the first time my fiancé told me he loved me.

oh my god the ending

This website is full of really sweet content tonight and for once I’m actually in the mood to enjoy it

if I ever see a girl in public who is clearly going for something really bold with her look (crazy hair, makeup, outfit) and looks like she’s maybe uncomfortable or nervous about rocking it, I make sure to go up to her and tell her she looks fierce. It took a lot of courage to go out like that and somebody ought to notice.

changes lives. be sure to do that at least once a day.

you’re the type of person this world needs

bless you
