THE SELFISH MOMENTS IN MY LIFE
I've been thinking about what to write about my best music, but the thing is I've been thinking about how not to make it too long because I have a lot of things to write about plus I've had a really long day and feel like going to bed right away. However, I will just let it flow as usual and pray I don't sleep off in the process of writing 😂. Let me start by saying at this moment I would love to listen to some of my deep instrumentals that help me have a good night's rest. This is also me saying I do not have a favorite kind of music, I listen to music based on how I feel at a particular time. So right now I'm feeling sleepy, any music that can make me have a good night's rest is good music to me. But also I don't feel like listening to music with lyrics, I just prefer to hear sounds at the moment.

Music they say is life, for me it's an access to my inner self. It enables me to reach that part of myself that delivers the best. This is another reason I don't often sleep with music on, my mind just tends to wonder about keeping it busy even while asleep. I know it sounds crazy, but that's how my mind reacts to things. If I'm listening to a sad song because I'm feeling sad, I tend to want to perform an action that expresses that feeling. My mind has just been trained to express a lot of things in any way. Most Times I could start writing when it's a sad song, and when it's a happy song, I might just express myself by dancing by myself. I normally wouldn't stop until I am sweating profusely with my heart beating really loud and fast but then only about 0.1% of people have seen me this way.
Dancing because I'm happy is only one way I express myself and that depends a lot on how free I am. If I'm not free, I would take a very long walk thinking about a lot of things in the process. By the time I'm done walking, I just take a cold shower and sleep obviously because I'm now too exhausted to do anything. In as much as I love music a lot, I'm not like others who can sit calmly to listen to it, I feel the need to be on the same rhythm with the music I'm listening to which can also be a lot of work, although I see it as pleasure, it's a work that makes me tired and wanting to sleep. But when I think about it, it's not just the feeling of being in the music moment that I like, it's the aftermath I prefer more. I have made a lot of important complex decisions after such moments, I have found breakthroughs through mind blowing ideas after such moments which I think has been why I have always loved doing it.

Music to me is like weed, I feel like I'm high and suddenly have an inner strength plus a great satisfaction from longing to fill up a space inside me. Indeed I can't agree more that music is life. Now I think about it, the times I cried to a song, or the times I jumped like a kid at a song, or the times I have gotten sober from listening to a song. Those are times no one can ever take away from me. In Fact, I would call them the selfish moments of my life because I got to enjoy those pleasures on my own.

Dancing at such a rate could not only express your joy but also become a real exercise. I have been in such mood before and also very few people have seen me in this mood 😅
Lol, I guess I'm not alone then😄
No o, you aren't 😅
Dancing in your room...😂
That's what everyone does. As far as it's in the privacy of our homes, we are Micheal Jackson with the moves. But once we get an audience, we can't dance abeg. You're not the only one on this table, sir.
