A connected one soul

I am Phương

For some reason (because of drinking too much coffee or thinking a lot or staying up too late for weeks), I could not sleep well in the last two nights. If you ask me which feeling is the worst one, my answer is the feeling when you are tired as f* and want to sleep as another f* but all you can do is to look at the ceiling (and sometimes hearing your partner’s snore) with a dancing brain inside your head. Well, that’s so desperate!

Last night, I tried to find some relaxing melody on Youtube which is very easy to find now with a simple keyword search “Sleeping music” something like that. I chose one song, I didn’t notice it’s a more-than-10-hours-song at the beginning. I opened it, plugged in my earphones, and closed my eyes.
It’s a really good melody, a melody of piano and rain. However, still, I could not sleep even after one hour of closing my eyes, trying to relax my body. After that, I started to go through hundreds of comments left by so many Youtuber on the song. And I ended up crying.
What a wonderful world!

Many of the things you see these days when you use social media, for example, Facebook or Youtube is a kind of argument. I would not say “everything”, it would depend on which pages you follow or whom you connect with. However, we have to admit that, everywhere has different thoughts, mindsets, sharing putting in the comments, “you’re wrong, I’m right, he’s not correct, she’s got the point, etc.” as there are always haters :)
Hundreds of comments I went through last night, there is zero, zero negative one. One of the comments says “It’s interesting how music connects us and helps us to speak the same language”, of course, I understand she didn’t mean English is the same language, it’s SOUL.

There are comments about the loss, loss of dear family members, loss of lovers, loss of pets. There are comments about appreciations. There are comments about how depressed and insecure some of them are now. And there are motivated responses they are giving the others to at least let them know they are not alone.

The video was uploaded in 2018, it’s been almost 2 years and the comments are updating nonstop. There are new listeners and also some old ones who have been listening to it for months.
It’s such a miracle to see there is a place people don’t talk about the difference of skin, age, nationality, etc.; they don’t judge even you come there and say “I’m a loser in life”. Everyone becomes one, a great human being one with a beautiful soul.

For the first time in my life, I cried not because I was sad but because I was so happy and appreciated having a chance to see how wonderful the world is and should be.
Thanks to my sleepless matter, thanks to every single great human out there. May you all be safe and sound!
