Day 28/365: The Gift Of Music

20131108-070131.jpgI am very grateful to music! Music wakes up my soul and inspires me as I choreograph my life.

More so, I love it the most when my alarm goes off to my favorite radio station playing my favorite songs. This morning, it played three of them when I awoke and while I was writing this post.

I woke up to “Unconditionally” by Katy Perry, and I have an earlier post about it that you can read here. It is very inspiring. It is about loving unconditionally, which is something I continue to work on in my life.

I first heard “Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities on the 4th of July this year. It helped me get up from bed that day, eventhough I was going through a very painful exacerbation of my herniated disc. Hearing it made me feel safe and made it easier for me to navigate my day. Since then, I have been hearing it almost everyday, and when I do, I feel encouraged and know that everything will be alright.

The third song is “Mirrors” by Justin Timberlake, and reminds me of someone in my life that I feel a deep connection with. It brings back nostalgic feelings and maybe… hope.

What songs inspire or empower you? The ones that get you going? The songs that touch your heart?

Day 6/365: Unconditionally

October 17, 2013 //

I am grateful to waking up to Katy Perry’s song, “Unconditionally”.

I have been working on the concept of unconditional love for a long time now. Sometimes, maybe as an Aquarian, I think that I could feel this in a universal sense–a lot more than one-to-one.

It came as a surprise to feel this for someone I felt a strong connection with several months ago, but I didn’t really know him much. I had spoken to one of my good friends about it, and she said, “Isn’t this what you feel for us?”

I guess my surprise was in feeling unconditional love for someone because of a strong connection, not because of years of knowing them inside and out.

This song reminded me of how lovely it was that I could feel this way about someone. To me, it means that I have changed and grown. It means that I have learned to see the good in someone, their Spirit or Soul (if you will), and love someone beyond their façade or ego. It means that my capacity to love has gotten even bigger.

I hope one day, a great love will find me, and he would be able to do the same with me.

Here is the chorus of the song, courtesy of Metro Lyrics:
Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
There is no fear now
Let go and just be free
I will love you unconditionally
