Pocketful Of Sunshine

avatar

We live in a world where no matter who we think we are, there are times that there is always something trying to get underneath our skin, to steal our joy and take our happiness.

Sometimes, one minute you think you have all things going on smoothly then the next minute you might be hitting a rough patch.

When this happens we should never fail to remind ourselves of the pocket of sunshine we carry along with us, we should always remember that we have so much love inside of us that no matter what happens it will always radiate and shine out if we let it.

Last night I went to bed feeling sad, and I hated it, no matter how I tried to feel better it wasn't just happening.

Thanks to the network connection problem we are currently facing in Nigeria. It is hard to be cool when you have tasks lined up waiting for you to do them but the internet network you need to carry out such tasks keeps on frustrating you. So I decided to retire to bed earlier than usual and hope for a better morning.

But I woke up in the middle of the night, and my eyes were devoid of sleep, but this time, instead of feeling sad, I decided to do something better, finding my happy place. Even in the middle of the night 😅

We all have a happy place, somewhere we would like to run to when things get tough or not going as we planned.

A place we can find our balance, feel energized, and come alive once again.

Some people's happy place is taking a walk in the park with natural serenity and it's all beauty. Some could be singing and dancing or listening to music. While others might find peace in watching the sunset or feeling a drop of rain on their skin. For someone like me, my happy place is all of the above but there are times when I need an escape but can't leave the four walls of my house, that time I would choose music and it always comes to my rescue.

We might not have power over certain things that happen to us like the current network downtime in Nigeria and across some West African countries according to the news. Which is messing with me and my online activities.

But we certainly have power about how to react or feel about them.

When I woke up in the middle of last night, I thought about one of my favorite hive community #q-inspired, a place I have come to love and enjoy in this recent time. The friends here seem to share a lot in common with me when it comes to music tastes, so when I hang out here, I know I can always find something very cool to enjoy.

It turned out I did find something amazing. The first post I read by Kemmyb blew away my heart. Her choice of songs and her accompanying texts were just perfect timing for me.

Through her, I came to discover a singer, and her songs are just my kind. Dear Kemmyb just in case you see this, thank you!🥰🤗 you are amazing.

The song is Pocketful of Sunshine. By, Natasha Bedingfield among her other songs, is a song that is 14 years old but still very relevant in today's world.

I took my time to enjoy it and I became very refreshed and energized after. That is one thing about songs that resonate with our current situation. It could provide one with a new perspective on such situations and this song did just that for me.

She talks about finding our happy place, and talks about self-love and the significant power it has towards our happiness.

With my favorite line;

"The sun is on my side, I smile to the sky, I know I will be alright".

To me, that is a powerful message and I think it is very important that we know that we will always be alright in the end.

I hope you are alright today and always.

Thank you for visiting🙏🥰

You know I got to find a lovely song from you too? Devil doesn't bargain, it's still one of my favourites now and I keep enjoying the rhythm.

Thursday and Friday got me pissed off and was so frustrated ehn. I couldn't do anything online and started finding means to resolve it not until Nkem told me to get a new sim which I did and made things alright. The network disrupts a lot of people's activities and I was told the cable repair may last for five weeks. Can you imagine?

Omo. I ended up watching movies sha to clear my mood away 🤣🤣

But why not tag Kemmyb so she could see the notification? She might miss it though except she accidentally jumps on your post. Lol

I actually thought it would last for a few hours, until yesterday evening, MTN was still misbehaving then I got a glo line from my Lily brother, I did a sub on it and it all cleared out within 30 minutes that was what even got on my nerves the most. I had to do another sub again.😗

What glo plan are you on?

Omo🤔 we are in for a long ride, but thank God other alternative is working even though not as good as MTN.

I tried To download some movies but the network won't even let me, I just decided to head to bed lol 😆 !LUV

And you are right, let me tag @kemmyb to see this.

Thanks so much for the mention and tagging me to read this inspiring post! I felt a little down yesterday too due to the internet fluctuations and my inability to get things done online. Very frustrating and who knows when the cables will be fixed, if that's the real problem! 😄

I'm glad Natasha Bedingfield's Pocketful of Sunshine comforted and inspired you. I love her songs, her voice and even better, the lyrics of the songs. Very meaningful. I hope the internet network is better at your location. Chin up and keep smiling! 😊

Taking a walk, going to serene environments and music is what energises and keeps me going.
The network these few days has been really frustrating, glad you could find inspiration from the song.
Just listened and it's a nice song.

I agree with the thought that sometimes the only thing you can do is your reaction to things. Of course, we can't resolve network connection issues - but it's cool that you found sunshine in music and thing song 😉

Recently, yeah my mind find it difficult to be at peace knowing that I have a lot of task(...to get money too 😤) to be done and no network.
I would just get one with, 'I can't come and kill myself' and launch into dreamland. 🤣

Music creates social cohesion, it speaks to all when words can fail, and wherever you go in the world, it is understood. Music is a universal gift and its power to connect people is without question. It is an art form with human interaction at its centre.

There are things we can't control and it's interesting to find what will give us happiness amidst of sadness. To you taking a walk and grabbing music does wonders to you. I have heard about this song before,I think it's high time I listen to it
You sure took me on a nice ride through your post. Keep being at your best funshee❤️❤️
