MUSIC, THE MEDICAL THERAPHY OR REOCCURING AGONY?

-
      Music, the very core of our being composes these majestically renowned sounds of pure magnificence. As a music enthusiast, it has been a long time since I’ve started indulging myself in the glorious sounds man-kind has ever produced, including genres such as Pop, Rock, Soothing, Etc. The songs/music that I listen to mostly is Pop (boy bands, etc.) and Rock (also boy bands, etc.). This obsession that I had for music intensified when I started to teach myself how to sing and started taking basic and free (note this) drumming lessons when I went to church, I mean, you’re getting to know God better and free drumming lessons, that’s something too long for if it were me. It’s been 7 years and counting since I’ve started playing the drums. You’ll reach a certain point when you’re musically inclined, where you can play any song just by listening to it, and I have to say, as a musician, it’s really fun.

       Listening to music and getting myself involved in musical stuff has always been amazing for me. On the other hand, don’t you ever wonder why certain artists composed certain songs in the first place? As I mentioned earlier, music comes from our very existence. I’m really sure that these artists have gone through certain moments in their life, whether happy or sad, it had affected them greatly. The tone or the very melody explains their happiness or sorrow or even mixed emotions about something. Whenever I listen to songs by Westlife it always gives me the impression that love is painful yet amazing. I am not really updated with the latest music or songs but I feel that songs back in those days actually mean something (I am not saying that there aren’t any meaningful songs these days). 

      Certain songs may remind us about a past lover, whether it is a bad or good thing is a different case. You might be emotionally stressed about it, depends on the situation. There are some songs that you might be able to relate to because you’ve gone through the same situation. Regardless of these circumstances, we must be wise when we’re listening to what others think or sing about. It might lead to a bad influence or overwhelming depression. For example, you’ve just been rejected by a girl or you’ve broken up with your partner, listening to songs related to that will only aggravate the pain or sorrow you already have. So think before you listen. 
 
      All in all, music does help in situations where you need to relax, or it might be a life saver to some of you, as I said, it depends on the situation.  But if you’re in a situation where music could make you worse, stop listening and start changing.

THE LOST BELIEF

There was a man, he thought of this world as a beautiful place, a never ending story that unfolds as he unravels the empty scroll of his life that is to be written by him and those whom he passes it to.   Alas, never was he so wrong in many ways, that the manifold things that took place when he walked the path that he chose to walk as his own and not because he was born and instructed to do so from whence he came from, took its toll on him.  More than anything else, he wanted to accept that some things are just not meant to be and that these things are the way they are for reasons he’ll never be able to comprehend. An excuse he tells himself, because he can never find the answer to them no matter how hard he tries. Every moment perishes as he cherishes it in a second, and some he’ll remember and forget as time flies and slips through his hands.  Sadness over weighs the joy at times, and sometimes he finds it hard to fork out a smile even ...

TO FALL IN LOVE

Each one of us expresses our love differently towards others. Here are my thoughts on love, an essence that permeates through a human that makes me question myself as to why it exists.    What does it mean for someone to fall in love? Is it a feeling? An expression? A choice? Or just mere infatuation? We have been seeing people define love in all sorts of manner. But how do we define love? Is it in a lustful manner? Or showed by just giving stuff or caring about others? A person once asked me about whether I would love a person or to be loved by a person. My thoughts on it were substantially naive, because I would choose neither. If one does not love and want to be loved, it’s rather self-centered and if one wants to love and does not want to be loved, that to me would be a portrayal of self-sacrificial martyr. It cannot be either one. To love is to be loved and to be loved is to love; sometimes we need to incorporate one into the other. If it’s either, the person t...

A SHATTERED REALM

           This world, without us even realizing it, is slowing being torn apart in every way. It might sound ridiculous to you, but pay close attention and take a look around you, the world is being absorbed by an unseen force that we’re not paying attention to because we’re too busy going about our lives to be even bothered by it. The most dangerous enemies are the ones you can’t see nor hear, even if you could you might not be conscious about it, and that’s exactly what we’re facing today. Julius Caesar, the man who almost conquered the world was assassinated by a man who he did not think would have killed him, who was Marcus Junius Brutus. We might be oblivious to our surroundings and perceive that these forces are non-existent.   The enemy is closer than we thought. The closest example of this is the device which we commonly hold in our hands on this very day and you might be even using it to view this. Your smartphones....
