And with her \u201cAudio hug\u201d from J. Cole trending, it opened the summer with a peaceful outlook on slowing down and reflecting. I believe positive mental health is critical, and from the original \u201cClear,\u201d I can see Summer\u2019s mental clinging to a softer approach to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As an artist, Summer had debuted, sharing some of her darkest moments. Songs such as \u201cRiot\u201d and \u201cSettled\u201d share views of unrequited love and accepting the hurt of a past lover. I related to this space after my breakup, and it took a long time to find peace with the decision to cut cycles with this person. I learned life has to move on without this person and recognize my own strength during a time I felt so alone. Summer spoke to my heart so much; it was such a tear-jerker when I finally realized the peace was within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:34px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This summer, we are healing and cycle-eliminating.
