Damn! Longest post ever :D I enjoyed my read though... I love music. No. I am alive because of music. Music is my life. I don't play or anything but it has been what no-one can ever be, wired me back together and healed me. 


From being an orphan at 15 and a mother to my sisters the same day, to domestic abuse, to my kind of solitary ( a whole year in the largest women correctional facility in East Africa), to the bold woman I am today :) Music did that... Music and Kenyan tea :) 

I don't relate to your kind of Music but I know the love of it is infectious and global. Thank you so much for sharing :)

Thanks for your thoughtful comment.  

And yeah, I am given to writing longer posts LOL, but that's just a part of me.  Some will be more concise, but when I am passionate about something, I just keep going on about it.  ;-)

As for "my kind of music," that's a pretty wide ranging and eclectic mix.  I have posted about a lot of different styles of music on Steemit alone, not to mention elsewhere on the web over the years.  And I will continue to do so.

As for the healing power of music, I completely concur, which was one of the reasons for this post.  I was feeling particularly down, and trying to get my head straight again, which is what brought me to musical comedy: laughter is the best medicine, as they say, and what better than having it set to music?  ;-)

Sorry for your past ordeals, and mine, but in the end, it is what made us the people we are, and I for one wouldn't trade that.  

You and I come from a long line of survivors.  It is up to us to pass that mindset along to the next generation, and the next.

STEEM on, my friend.  Thanks for being you.
