Happy weekend Hive family!
If you're not going to see a music concert this weekend, here you go, my spontaneous mini show at open mic night in Ho Chi Minh city - a day after my birthday!
Song list: š¶
šæ Half the world away - Oasis 1994 (This song is for myself)
šæ In my life - The Beatles 1965 (For the pineapple š person - Whatever may come, somewhere deep inside
There's always this version of you and I)
šæ All my loving - The Beatles 1963 (For all people I've loved in my life)
šæ All I've got to do - The Beatles 1963 (For the jiujitsu person)
My birthday was 20th Sept, and I did a "sneak away" time for myself, from the countryside to Ho Chi Minh City to play some music. The night of 20th was lonelier as I played at another place called Yoko Cafe (I did play many Beatles songs there). But I was by myself on my birthday and the place didn't have many customers at all.
21st Sept - The following day was another open mic at another place - cozier with so many more good performers, this place is where I filmed this video spontaneously myself. It was where I met a few old friends who I met at random times coming back to the city to play music earlier. How cool! We had a cozy time with so much laughter and good music.
It was my first time standing on that stage, but how happy it saved my birthday before, and I got to play 6 songs there, all of them are masterpieces!
It was the happiest day I had in such a long long time since I got covid, then a heartbreak, and bunch of life issues coming along afterwards.
When I was free falling and becoming invisible to this world though I was trying to hard to sort things out to get back up, oh how magical some friends (very very few) noticed me, saw me, and gave a hand to lift me up by truly listening to what I really need during this time to make a breakthrough.
Thank to a few of my friends, and a dedicated VN Hive member, I got what I needed to escape to be out on those nights. I laughed again, I felt free again, I felt heard again, I felt like myself again - an introvert, and overthinker but always laughing, cheerful, funny, cheeky, playful and full of life.
I'm working on getting a new online job now, so soon I can break the cage and set myself free physically, while maintaining a loyal heart for things I love and people I love - no matter where I am and what I do!
This is what I wrote for myself about what I want for my life:
I want a base, a nest, a cozy comfortable home, a wooden house with music room, movie room, cool kitchen for home cooked meals, bedroom with super comfy large bed, a garden to grow plants and flowers,... and the hearts that will stay forever young.
... a place to come back after travelling.
But I also want to be free to travel anytime I want and not just work 9-5 and wait for the holiday. Literally ANYTIME! Just get the ticket and go.
What about you? How are you handling a breakdown that you're going through (if you are)?
What's your dream life? š„°
If you feel like you have nothing with you right now, here is the favorite part of a book I read awhile ago:
"Happiness is not something that happens. It is not the result of good fortune or random chance. It is not something that money can buy or power command. It does not depend on outside events, but, rather, on how we interpret them.
Happiness, in fact, is a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated, and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us can come to being happy.ā
Hope you enjoy the songs.
Trust timing and the process to success ā¤
