Waking Up

What is the best feeling in the world? I think it is knowing that you are completely free, free from doubts, free to do anything you like, free from telling you what to do, and most of all, being independent. Everything we do from the time we are very little prepares us for that one final moment when we spread our wings and take off. We all are like little Birds, just waiting for that one day to take off and see the view from top.I guess the world does look more beautiful when you look at it with being accountable to no one.

Ok.Scratch that. My head was still waking up when I wrote that melancholy crap. This semester is definitely different from most of the other semesters. I think it's more fulfilling. I have been able to do a lot more than I have been doing in the last 7 semesters. Maybe that's what they meant by 'Do what you love and love what you do.' Boredom is something I haven't been felt in a while, neither am I feeling tired, would I want to live my life like this? I actually would not mind.

My love for books throughout my life has just prepared me for this I guess. I am not sure there are a lot of people who's hearts would bleed when they read a badly written book. Mine does. Books are a medium of spreading joy, just as much music is. They helped a little girl spend all the 'extra' enthusiasm she had wrapped up inside her. I want all little girls across the world to feel what I grew up feeling. Yeah yeah, I know, this is the Digital Age, and all that jazz but then again, isn't it better to read a real book than stare at a laptop or even a kindle? I like the sweet smell of new books just much I like the smell of old Red Wine.

You can call me old fashioned but as a very good friend of mine said, 'A piano is not old fashioned, it's classic.', even though he said it in the context of Classical music, I think it applies here as well. Talking about music, I have finally learnt how to play something on my guitar, yes, the same one that I got as a birthday present. Now it's about time to introduce to you Aphune Kezo (a.k.a Appy), she is a friend, and brilliant singer and most of all my awesome guitar teacher, and singing buddy. More on that in another post. Right now it's time to run to class, Ciao.
