#BlogLife274 - My body wants to dance

I was trying my best to get the details right in the story I just made up. Mr DJ don't play me and I wanted to compose this really sultry dance scene but I wasn't sure how to do it.

I got up and I was thinking about my clubbing days and also the dance workout dvd I used to burn calories with, which had some nifty moves in it.

I decided to make up this blend of dances and hope that it was different because I'm always trying to be a lil unique in a world of professional writers.

I'm just a storyteller. I'm never going to be in their league and that's okay. 

I started slowly with the hip sways and that was fine and then the hip shaking shimmy was next and then the whole body rocking started to get really painful.

It's like I was back in time, where I was thinking I was all healthy and pain-free and just dancing away all night long in clubs and bars.

I'm not sure why my hips and waist were focused on but as men passed me by, they were grabbed or squeezed briefly and then when I was on the dancefloor..

Men were transfixed by my rotating hips. It was fun but now the thing I love, dancing and music is the thing I can't do for long.

Sure a couple of minutes if I'm lucky but then I get dizzy and stumble or the discomfort climbs higher.

Music I guess is comforting because it's not judgemental. It's not criticising or talking down to me.

It's happy or sad and calling me to sing along and keeping me company. It doesn't say you have to be this or that or listen to me only, it says listen, don't listen, actually cheat on me with other artists, I encourage it.

My sleep has gone downhill but that's nothing new. I just stay up and listen to music half the night.

A strange thing is happening with the earbud, the right one always appears fully charged in the morning as though it was off but I connect both of them and they are on.

Unless I accidentally keep turning it off. Strange but today was the first time in ages it charged, it said 4 bars but it was still charging maybe the display is faulty??

#BlogLife269 - Dance the depression away

The first step is talking about what ails me but when it's big and it keeps pulling other traumatic memories into it, I have to stop and take a minute.

There is more but I can't figure it out so time to pause. I can't be sad anymore. I have no more tears flowing. It's time to dance.

I went on Youtube and browsed some recommended songs and came up with these..

Picky - Joey Montana/Akon/Mohombi

Most are remixes, it just helps perk me up easier. I'm not ignoring my problems just taking time out from them.

The only thing left to do is join me in a music dance marathon. Shake your head, wave your hands, move your hips.

Up, up, up. I don't care if you can't dance or don't have any rhythm and can't sing in tune, take my hand and let's laugh and dance and be crazy.

Wooo......

Since I wrote this, something I had been waiting for, finally arrived. It was really stressing me out and I was unable to do anything to hurry it up.

I've now dealt with it and feel so much lighter. Plus I got an unexpected refund which wasn't even accompanied by an explanation but it has really come in useful.

I met mama for lunch today and I didn't really have an appetite, the nausea was lurking but I did eat a chicken panini, although it's not as tasty as the Pret stuff.

I did my hair and makeup neatly and although I was physically drained within a few steps, it was good to hand over the things I bought for her.

Saline and the sanitiser. If I could have been bothered to walk to the market, I would have got her the olive crackers too but I was dead on my feet.

The stories are slowly coming but I keep finding extra details to add which is annoying me but it's fun to have a few different tales to cycle through..
