🎧 ADN Throwback: My 2005 R&B Girlie Era 💿✨

Some people had an emo phase.

Me?

I had a full-on R&B girlie era around 2005…
when I was about 13.

And I mean FULL commitment.

We’re talking:
– discovering Destiny’s Child and thinking this was the peak of music forever
– trying to hit notes like Beyoncé (I could not, but that didn’t stop me)
– watching music channels like it was a full-time job
– learning lyrics with my whole chest like I was about to perform at the MOBO Awards

And the outfits???

In my head I was:
✨ effortless
✨ iconic
✨ main character in a music video

In reality…
probably just vibes and confidence 😭

But honestly? Being 13 in that era did something to me.

Because now:
– I still build playlists like it’s a personality trait
– I still love a dramatic vocal moment
– and I will ALWAYS respect an R&B banger

This wasn’t just a phase.

This was character development.
