MUSIC HEALS
There have been times when I completely depended on music. They were not very good times, but music kind of made those moments bearable and even interesting. In moments like this, I simply play some category of music, vibe along, and let it take care of whatever emotional challenge I am facing. I own most moments of this nature to the song 'Don't Worry Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin. This very song has a way of bringing smiles to my face, even when I am in my most depressed state.
When I got home that evening, I sat down to recall every abusive word that man said to me, and it eventually made me cry. They say women are more abusive than men, but this one was exceptional. At least I got to see what my staffs has probably been going through. That man literally reminded me that I am not too young to own my own business, and that boys my age can earn in a day what I struggle to get in a month. Being privileged as the manager, I eventually had to talk back to the man; it almost resulted in a physical fight. It later made me wonder how I would have reacted if I had noticed a staff member exchanging words with my customer.
Notwithstanding the fact that I suffered a serious emotional breakdown after the verbal abuse from my customer, the distractions at work did not really allow me to feel the full extent of it. It eventually dawned on me when I got home that evening. Once again, thank God for the song 'Don't Worry be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin. Even as tears dropped from my eyes, I played the song, let it sink in for a while, and then started singing along. I eventually smiled as cleaned my tears.
There are actually few other times when music helped me come through, but this is the most recent, and I am happy to have shared this. Thank you so much for reading up to the end. One Love ✌️
