If anything has always saved me, it's the power of music.


It's been a long time since anything surprised me, and today I had "one of those" moments that make me blush instantly while I tried to figure out if I was completely alone at home or... otherwise I should assume a very classy attitude, breathe slowly, gradually regain my natural color, and smile slightly with the corner of my lips...toward my insides.

The ordinary,the common,the normal thing is that I was an average girl: modest, quiet, scrawny, very fragile, and with very brief flashes of sympathy that led me to adjectively pigeonhole myself as the typical boring young woman. Luckily, my own perception of myself forced me to free myself from some somewhat tight-lipped rules and in that way I was able to breathe much better... that led me to remember that I have some little secrets of various colors up my sleeve, like everyone else, right?

I prepared some yuca, and it didn't soften, so I decided to make some sweet potato and yuca fritters...😋

The funny thing is that my brain starts creating vivid descriptions of the moment, and most of the time, to safeguard my sanity, it masterfully captures the background music that best suits the scene I'm remembering... and since I've stumbled upon several musical gems this week, believe me, it wasn't difficult to choose my favorite song for the memories evoked by "my surprise."

The first of the Sam Smith songs I'm bringing you, "Unholy," It felt a bit like a musical stray to me... How so?
Let me explain: Is it possible to miss this piece and not wonder where you were two years ago when it was released?
Please, enjoy it in my name...

If everything were as easy as making fritter batter...😅

But it's not for everyone. Look, observe, do you find it scandalous? What are we talking about?

The freedom of being, or how you want to live your life? But it's not the philosophical point that moves me most about this song; it's the mix of sounds and voices that awaken delicious sensations presumably forgotten and unrecognizable by time, a music with a highly sensual charge in its notes, where East and West converge... Sam Smith is undoubtedly a great artist, and I'm happy to have him as the backdrop for some of my best surprising secrets...

It's incredible how music connects you with memories, sensations, and feelings even if they are dead... yes, dead, because in your reality they no longer exist nor do they find a space for pain or joy... however, music works as the CPR for many forgotten shots that you don't know, but live surreptitiously with you, like a monster under your bed, or like a brightly colored mirror.

Just a beaten egg, a little bit of oil, another bit of sugar and yeast... ready.

That's how I felt when I heard from the balcony of my house the song by the female band Rock: Heart, "All I wanna do is make love to you" that someone very enthusiastically shared with loudspeakers in the neighborhood...without a doubt I was happy about it even though it wasn't the right time or place, because it is one of the best songs of my seventeen years... WOW

And somehow it also has a few of my little secrets hidden among its letters... 😅...it's actually that one of my most beautiful fetishes was having been a huge rock star.

But didn't I tell you what my surprise was in the end? A note that dragged me back in time with the speed of a snap of the fingers, a note kept for more than 25 years that only said: Sorry.

Love doesn't come through the kitchen, it's only cooked with love.

No matter how much time has passed, how many little secrets I can keep, how much I can share, how many things they say I did wrong, how much I enjoyed, and how much I lived: today I am at peace.


The silence of music flows indefinitely down memory lane.


So, since I work a lot at home on Saturdays, I ended up with a song that tasted sweet and sour, but that felt really good to me, dancing along to Taylor Swift and her Delicate from minute 1:36 until the very end... I feel irrevocably like I'm a Taylor Swift girl... and that, more than anything, music is meant to heal.

And do you have any little secrets hidden away?


Always very grateful for your reading.

Today what surprises me most are the achievements I can make and nature, the fact of getting rid of pre-established rules generates liberation. I feel the same as you when I listen to certain songs that lead to special moments or make us feel sensations inside us. It's amazing how these vibrations work on us, our memories... and secrets. Of course I have them in my inner space, mine and mine alone. How gradable.

The second song also brought back memories... what a time! Being at peace as you say, the best thing in the world... by the way I love fritters, save me some!!! A big hug!

Liberation, that's the word... you're as precise and accurate as ever... how are you, my dear friend? I think you and I are privileged... we were able to enjoy the best music of all time, and when we find a little gem, it automatically connects us with the past... at least with the good things that happened.
I also believe that over time, music helps us disconnect more than it helps us dream, and that's a real joy.
Of course, I'll save you some fritters; just let me know, and I'll make you a huge platter. I assure you, they'll make you forget about your diet... 😅

Thanks for reading, and sorry for the delay. Our connection almost doesn't let us access Hive.

🌹🦋🌹

There is no delay or anything to apologise for, I understand perfectly... and don't worry, I've never been on a diet in my life... at least hahaha thanks!

Oh!!! Really?? Well, I thought so...😅 Then you'll be free to enjoy my fritters...😋 Have a great Sunday... would you believe my internet browsing works better with 3G than 4G...😂...my country is incredible, my friend...

😘🐦🦜🌹🦋🌻🍀🍀

I think there are spells involved hahahahahaha there are things that you don't know how to explain! 🤣

😂😂

Reading with a smile, not knowing exactly where it was leading me to lol.
It's how you sneaked in your dishes made with love to compliment and backup your love for music and how it brings many memories back to you which may have been hidden away.

Music! They say brings healing to our soul, I feel alive with music, feel lost in it sometimes, sad, happy, excited, bittered, I can't just explain the terms in one setting.
Music does a lot of things to our mind, heart and even our soul.
It's either we enjoy the sound, the rhythm, the wording/lyrics
Or we dance to it, feel the motion and live in the moment.

I can only feel your undiluted love for music and how you explain it with much enthusiasm, you definitely are that girl that defines what makes you happy and stick to it.
It's good to see and read this piece from you!
Have a blissful day Ada!

Well, you've surprised me so much with your words. How beautifully you said it all!!! At first, I thought about revealing "a secret," but, let's just say, I left it half-finished so that only the listener could imagine some mischief I might have gotten into...or maybe I just imagined it...😂...so that the music I brought would sound rebellious and liberating for those who haven't dared to live an adventure at some point in their lives...and then be okay with it, and remember without regrets...so that "to remember is to live again."

Music! They say it heals the soul. I feel alive with music; sometimes I feel lost, sad, happy, excited, bitter. I can't explain the terms in just one place. Music has a huge impact on our mind, heart, and even soul.

I loved this part of your conversation.

"Ada" was my mother's name, and today she is here with me forever... Happy day to you too, a great pleasure and a great honor.

🌹🦋🌹

Oh! First of all, I hope I didn't overstep boundaries by using your mother's name, I didn't know, so I apologize.
I was only trying to shorten your username 🥺

Secrets! I love secrets and trust me I can keep secrets lol, so why didn't you just let it out or slide it in, give us some hint or something lol.
You don't seem like one with a rebellious spirit though lol.
So whatever memories this brings or brought to you, I know it was a good one.

No, it's okay...😅...it's an honor to carry my mother's name on Hive, it's just that no one has ever used it to name me before...wow, and this was a big secret I revealed today...😂 Maybe my secrets are only half-truths, but believe me, I hold them all with great affection...😂... I'll leave clues in my posts about some of the secrets...well, everyone does it...haven't you noticed? 🤣

Thanksssss.

Lol, that's right.
People seem to slide in their secrets in their posts without coming out so loud.
It's great to read of of yours😁

I love music for work; it's an anesthetic for me and heals my spiritual pain. That recipe sounds delicious. ☺️

Thanks my dear friend for passing here.
Music always IS LOVE...im glad That you enjoy.

🌹🦋🌻🦜🐦

As you say, there are melodies that transport us to experiences, stages of our lives that sometimes arrive at the best moment.

I believe no one can better appreciate how music influences our lives than someone who worships music through song... so you're one step ahead in judging and loving it.

Happy Sunday, family...🌻

If anything has always saved me is the power of music.

Believe me, it has saved me too.

Nice one the rice and beans pic. Heck yeah!!!
I owe you the songs opinion though, you know, electricity, connection, ...the long list. I could read you and I loved it as usual, so I decided that if you decide it as well, and since we are almost neighbors, we should meet sometime, first, to meetj ourselves, second, for you to give me some receipts as than one pictured, and 3rd, to engage a bit about everything (Hive included). What do you think?
Wonderful post as always.
Told you.Owe you and myself to get to the selection.
💚😉

Oh!!! That sounds so nice, it would be great to meet in person!!! Hive undoubtedly has the power to connect so many people who are thousands of miles apart, but also others who may cross paths every day but never see each other. Well, look, yes, I think I recognized you once. You were taking your kids to school early, and I said to myself, "That must be Raúl, haha. I've also seen your wife taking her baby girl to school, accompanied by an adorable dog... They looked so happy and had incredible energy... Your wife has a very beautiful personality, and I admire you so much every time you declare your love for her in your posts... So, it would be a great honor to meet you, and talking about Hive would be the main course on the table... 😂
Thank you so much for stopping by and writing all that in my post... Believe me, it makes me want to write every day if work didn't exhaust me so much in our circumstances.

Have a lovely Sunday afternoon... 🌻

I'll tell you that with this musical post and that kneading activity you can almost convince anyone to tell you a secret... Except me. Saludos, qué bueno leerte. 😉

I think if I arrive at your house with a platter full of fritters, we'll be able to share a few secrets...😅...don't underestimate the power of a fritter, darling...😇😉😂

@nanixxx, a big hug to you...and thanks for reading. 🐦🦜🦋🌹🥰😘

Your post brought up Tracy Chapman's song The Promise which carries hidden among its verses a secret that will remain well guarded in memories.

Those fritters look rich 🤤 With honey they are delicious.

I waited for you at "the sea" (I invited you as you asked me 🤷) but I didn't find you there 😉

A nice week 🌻

Horrible, I'm not going to justify my disappearances because I can give them too many reasons... one of them is that (((((I'm sick of the darkness and spending my days running after electricity)))))

I have no doubt that honey goes well with fritters. Mmm, how interesting... here we usually make a syrup with star anise and that's it... 🙃
I'm going to listen to Tracy, you took me back to when I was 17 again.I love secrets.

Tip of the day: never use the tags sex and orgasms, your post will become NTFW, and it won't be accessible to everyone. If you ask me why I'm featuring this, it's because it happened to me last night in the early hours of the morning in my last post... 😭😂😅

The week began. Pufff... who told me to write about sex... 😂😂😂
