The day has finally come! Frank Ocean has finally blessed us with his new album!! We've been waiting since 2012 for this moment to come and have gone through a lot in the process. Dealing with years of uncertainty piled on with fake release dates really messed with our feelings. I don't know about you all, but Frank Ocean definitely taught me a few things.
1. PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE
We've all heard this saying before, but it usually goes through on ear and out the other. When it comes to Frank Ocean I cant lie- I was starting to get irritated. Sometimes I would log into twitter and see someone tweeting about Frank's new album and it's release date , and of course I would be extremely excited. Only to be let down by another rumor. Honestly? I started to not even care. I was numb and used to the rumors after a few years and was too salty to even care for any album. Obviously I was a little more than dramatic than needed, but I have definitely learned my lesson!
2. GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT
We've obviously waited a while for this new album, and it's proven to be beyond worth it. From Pink + White to Godspeed the whole album is phenomenal. Not to mention Frank's new video "Nikes" that pays tribute to the late Trayvon Martin, Pimp C, and A$AP Yams.
3. KEEP FIGHTING FOR WHAT YOU WANT
Frank recently went to Tumblr and sent us fans a thank you message. We never stopped tweeting and talking about how we desperately wanted this album to grace us with it's presence, and in a way this taught us that no matter what- we need to continue fighting for what we want. We wanted this album to happen, and although it's a little bit later than what we expected, it's here!
4. IF YOU DON'T HAVE APPLE MUSIC NOW IS THE TIME TO GET ONE
If you're like me and never really payed attention to apple music you've probably been attached to it for the past few days since that's where Frank's new album is. If you don't own any apple products, but still want to listen in I'd suggest asking your friends for a favor or just creating an account for yourself.
Thank you, Frank Ocean for all the life lessons you've taught us!
