To have a place like this where I could spend my days watching movies, listening to shows, and drinking tea would be pure heaven. And so, because the grammys were yesterday, I decided to share a playlist that has been on repeat and a letter to the one and only Whitney Houston.

Whitney Houston - The Greatest Love of All
Whitney Houston, you have one of the best voices that anyone could've heard. I remember singing the Greatest Love of All song, on the Friday before you died, and the message of "Children being the future" was such a monumental phrase that will never escape anyone's minds.
Your voice, was one in a million. You had this ability to sing each ballad you undertook with such emotion, with such strength. It was truly a blessing to hear a voice as strong as yours, especially in times where music is filled with veils of technology and an assortment of showmance. Your voice and your singing captured the essence of less is more, and I'm truly grateful to have heard a voice with such power, and such strength, and such emotion and meaning like yours. I'm also thankful that your influence was able to inspire a few of my all time favourite singers such as Christina, Mariah, Amy Winehouse and Adele. Technicality wise, you were brilliant, and overall you're indescribable.
That's enough ranting from me,
Love Grace
(Hope to update soon)
