Hello, amazing Hivers!
The days passed by quickly like it usually does and the weekend has arrived, and of course, along with it are 's exciting weekend-engagement topics.
Just reading them this morning made my mind wander that I had to say 'hush' just so it would slow down a bit. But you know what it did? It went further tempting me to go for option 4 like it had what it takes to go out there and reveal itself for the world to see (Huh!)
Well, for a moment, I kind of liked it and imagined how I would dress up, how my hairdo would be even the color of the heels that I'm gonna be wearing, plus the guitar I would be using. "Yay!" my mind cheered which made me smile and went on to imagine more. "Come out na, snack time!" the farmboy called out from the porch, waking me up from my wishful thinking, lol!
After snacking, I ended up having a debate with my mind but I was not about to just let it win this time. Because you know, I still have some shame left in me, lol! But kidding aside, I had quite a dilemma of which among the options I should take.
Option Two, Yay!!!
Tell us about the most recent music or track you have begun listening to and tell us why you like it, what it means to you and why.
This song's vibe is just so cheerful and upbeat that just listening to the intro seems to strike some chord in me and makes me light up, stand up and giddily bust some moves and get into the grooves like no one's watching.
And yes, you would have guessed that today and in previous days, I sang it at the top of my lungs too. I played a concert on my own, strumming an imaginary guitar, hitting my computer table, my thighs, and the chair like they were a set of drums, LOL! That's the advantage of living in a private compound because there are no neighbors close by who will complain even when I amplify my very lovely voice, lol.
It also reminded me of some wonderful times spent with my little niece Ahjay, 'coz when we watched music video together when she came last year, we had some fun moments dancing, wiggling, and bumping at each others' hips, then laughing at our hearts' content.
Adding to the cheerful beat and the memories, the lyrics of the song pretty much sum up the inspiration or motivation I get from it. Aside from the fact that I love Shakira's voice, very much.
I actually made this track number one on my playlist some years ago just when the film "Zootopia" was released and had it as my ring tone on my previous smartphone, but when the phone died (it just went off by itself and couldn't be switched back on), I forgot about the soundtrack. I only got to listen to it again earlier this month when I found it in one of my audiobook folders.
Life can be challenging at times and we get discouragements from anyone, even from the people we care about. In a way, this music's beautiful messages help in keeping my spirits up... encouraging me to have a better perspective and keep a positive outlook on life in general. Life is a beautiful mess and of course, we love it!
So when things seem to be going elsewhere than I expected, I'd keep my resilience and...
"I won't give up, no I won't give in... till I reach the end, then I'll start again... no, I won't leave, I want to try everything, I want to try even though I could fail..."
Thank you for your time and I hope you got some cheers because that's what I also intended to share. Happy Weekend!
