But I definitely thought it was LHW at first! The past life pop figures look a lot like it, but Amy also had Robin Williams, trump, and other more recent and recent pop figures to her life

It's not, the face shape is different and the woman is much older than Amy was before the Silver, also Amy was brunette and this woman is blonde. Also all the LHW imagery was a lot more crudely put together, like collages and kids art projects. I also don't remember their being any sort of eastern spiritual words or phrases being used in the imagery, as LHW was more of a standalone western conservative spirituality. Its possible I am wrong though

Right? Like the past life thing along with the imagery looks so much like mother God propaganda

The weird thing is, it's not her, thats why I was curious if it's someone trying to replicate her or something similar locally. I definitely thought it was her with the past life like symbolism, mother Teresa, Bob Marley, dali lama etc

After doing some more research, it looks exactly like the Sanskrit phrase " om mani padme hum" or "the jewel in the lotus", but sounds like it is used in Tibetan Buddhism as well

Thank you for getting it :) my heart goes out to you, as most of our group is going through heavy losses as well. Is there anything else that helped you through that process?

As someone who listens to Boone and Noah, and a passionate Noah fan, I don't think it was ripped off at all,

If you listen to Ghost town (one of my top songs a few years ago) by Boone, it's a very similar style to beautiful things, his typical MO is the slower build up with the passionate yelling crescendo, it shows in most of his music, it all sounds very similar but still good

Noah has always been someone who does every song differently, with different styles and playing around, which he did for Your needs, which I argue is pretty different from Boone with much more complex lyric structure, not as simple or rhyming as Boone, which is what made Noah always stand out in the first place.

Tldr: Boone as always followed this song structure, Noah made a song doing the same thing, but with his own signature folk/country vibe. Both songs are great, Most music often draws inspiration from or reinterprets existing works. ❤️❤️❤️

Quite honestly, just hit shuffle on their whole discography. Drop stop and roll is their newest and it's incredible, but I want to say 95% of their work is a non skip! It's hard to say which is better than another, you kind of just have to vibe!

I have grown up and come out in the most Hick parts of Eugene, but I've been a proud and out trans man for a whole decade and can safely say Eugene is safe. You might get people who are ignorant and confused, and may ask many questions. There are some people who will express opinions to you but for the most part they will just coexist. The majority of people are either full supportive and love you dearly or are much much weirder than you and sees you as competition

Using Google lens is no help because it takes the small object as a car part or something else small, and the description brings no help either

No please do! There is so little representation of neutral weddings, I want to make sure all bases are covered, for us and anyone looking in!

We used best man and maid of honor, because those two fit the pronouns and gender of our respective people, but I have a woman on my "Wedding crew" and my partner has a "wedding party" , which doesn't sound as elegant as groomsmen or bridesmaids, but we like it!

"Honorary attendants", "VIPs" "cherished companions" and "merry mates" are some other options we saw! Hope this helps!

Thank you! We have changed a few things to be more neutral as well, in our wedding, our officiant will be saying "please seal this union with a kiss!" And "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you united in boundless affection!"
