Hello, Hive Open Mic Community! Happy Saturday to everyone who is here today and will be reading or watching my content again. It was stated in the original post for the #133 challenge that the challenge only ran until the 29th day. I want to submit my entry by Monday because I still have a lot of university work to accomplish. However, since schools were closed in the Philippines due to the bad weather, I had the chance to produce this content. Anyway, this week's theme is about opportunity. Once again, I struggled to find a song because I knew very little about other music. Fortunately, I came across Jordan Sparks' song on YouTube and chose to release my cover of it. Jordan Sparks wrote a song titled "This is my Now." I experienced a powerful emotion as I was performing this song. I have the impression that I wrote this music.
I believe that this sentence resonates with a lot of individuals, including myself. I saw numerous opportunities for myself when I was younger. But that eventually vanished because I lacked confidence and self-esteem. That was when I first realized how toxic other people were. Even your own family members may present a barrier to your ability to seize possibilities. Additionally, there are some who will detest you, which will make you feel even more insecure.
I came to the realization that I must grab the opportunities that fate presents to me as I grew older. This time, I learnt to think beyond the box and demonstrate to everyone my abilities in those areas. Because of the difficulties I have faced in life, I am thankful for how they have shaped me to be a risk-taker. I can now say that I am grateful for the few folks that stick around and help me develop into a strong and positive version of myself with each opportunity I perceive and take advantage of. 馃崁馃崁馃崁
"This Is My Now"
By Jordin Sparks
There was a time
I packed my dreams away
Livin' in a shell
Hiding from myself
There was a time
When I was so afraid
I thought I'd reached the end
Baby, that was then
I am made of more than my yesterdays
This is my now
And I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see
My fears behind me
Gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then
This is my now
I had to decide
Was I gonna play it safe
Well, but somewhere deep inside
I tried to turn the tide
And find the strength to take that step of faith
This is my now
And I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see
My fears behind me
Gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then
This is my now
And I have a courage
Like never before, yeah
I settled for less
But I'm ready for more
Ready for more
This is my now
And I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see
My fears behind me
Gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then
This is my now
And I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see
My fears behind me
Gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then
This is my now
This is my now
