It is incredible to stay awake all night to feel what it is like to add 365 days to your life. As the clock approached 12 a.m., my heart began to race. It is @gone-hive Global Day on the 5th of June. My year has been distinguished by a sequence of lucky and sad events, and the only things I could turn to in these moments were my Earpiece and Music.

As the clock approaches 12 a.m., I cannot help but dwell on recent events and the music that has aided me. I have experienced good and horrible moments, but music has always been a part of my life.

Everyone began the new year with high hopes, but things did not appear to be going well for me in that moment. It was a lot of drama, at least one that I had not seen in a long time, and it was about my family. It seemed like I was witnessing a movie with a sequence of horrible events developing, and I could not stop it.I had no solutions to these problems; all I could do was wonder and hope for answers, and I could not tell anyone about them since they were too personal.

**I would run to Boomplay to listen to "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley and the Wailers**
https://youtu.be/HNBCVM4KbUM

<center>"Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright"
Singing, "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!"
"Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sun
Three little birds pitch by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Saying, "This is my message to you-ou-ou"</center>

I have been thinking about these musical lines for a long time. It gave me confidence that there was no difficulty worth pursuing endlessly.It made me realize that I had over-analyzed the situation, making it appear as if it would go on indefinitely. I refused to accept that all issues are transient and that they can be solved.

We will never be able to control everything; all we have control over is how we respond to these circumstances. This Music gave me hope during these trying times, as I was constantly reminded that "everything was going to be alright."

 It aided me during this period because I remained optimistic that everything would turn out good, and as time passed, everything returned to normal, and I had a big grin on my face.

 It made me realize that life does not always provide all we need. We will confront difficulties and challenges, the majority of which may break us down, but do not worry, we will be fine in the end.

 A sigh of relief at the issue at start of the year, but the year was not done yet, and the instances of misfortune were far from over. It progressed to a close friendship of mine collapsing. When I lost that friendship, it was painful for me, and no amount of effort I put up to reclaim it was successful. It had an impact on my activities, particularly on Hive, because I was unable to think clearly.

 I tried talking to my friends about it, but while everyone can give you advice, not everyone knows how you feel. Everything seemed dull and uninteresting to me because I was alone in my room with no access to the outside world.
I had thought that the dramas would end and life would return to normal, but this had become the new normal. I felt as if I'd done something terribly horrible to deserve these two consecutive disasters.

**The music I chose was Isak Danielson's Ending.**
https://youtu.be/TOIF7KwXetU


<center>We're at the end of the line
She keeps me from closing my eyes
Keeps me from sleeping at night
Don't let me go
We've been talking a while
Looking at everything bright
Wrote, and she asked me, I'm fine
Just don't let me go
There came a time
When you were the only one
You were the only one
The only one**</center>

It was a fantastic representation of how I was feeling at the moment. It sounded more like a request for a second chance or a new beginning. But I had a feeling it would not happen.It felt like the closure I needed to keep going; it was difficult to see, but it gave me the most comfort in my sorrow, and it lasted several months.

 Well 2022 started on with sad events for me, it felt like every month had something negative to offer. Everything has been beautiful and great after the unfortunate events that disturbed me. I am back to default setting just learning that everything happens for a reason. Music helped alot, it was the only thing that could speak to me or had the expression of how I felt

 Today marks my birthday and the only thing I can say is how grateful I am for life and the wonderful things happening around me. I have achieved things that I am proud of, very settled in a happy space and my friends and family are good and okay. To celebrate my day I added "23" by Burna Boy to my list
https://youtu.be/PFPfxcvRshk

<center>Now I understand why them say aiye po gan
The music make me feel I be Jordan
Now I understand why them say aiye po gan</center>
[[Source]](https://genius.com/Burna-boy-23-lyrics)

The reason why I picked the song is because it is the new age I just stepped into and the song attributes our greatness to that of Michael Jordan who wears jersey "23"

 For Burna boy,it was music that made him feel like Michael Jordan but for me it is about being excited about the new age, the big and little wins achieved at the age, the failures and the lessons learnt and most importantly my dear Future is looking great
Thank you for stopping by, cheers to everyone who read this.
