I was seated in this conference a few years ago and I was just singing during the worship session. It's one conference I'm always looking forward to. It's hosted by my church annually. I wasn't deeply involved in church activities to be honest, I was just always looking forward to this conference because it was a means of bonding with my friends who lived faraway.
The conference involved all members of the church from all the branches nationwide coming together to praise so it is usually a very big one. After the conference that night, I went home and uploaded pictures of myself on my Facebook page. A girl commented saying she wished she was part of the conference till the end. I also got a message from the same strange girl who seemed to know me.
The message said I looked lovely and I was greatly admired. I blushed so badly. I took a look at her profile and figured I could recognize her. She sat close to me in the conference and she was reading a book. We got to know each other and she was a total sweetheart. I was honestly amazed. It baffles me how someone who barely knew me was so jovial, alive and open with me and so I asked her what attracted me to her. She said it was my voice. She was so surprised at the way I sang with so much passion and power.
That's how we began to bond. Music was our bonding gum if there's any such thing as that.😄 We met up subsequently and one day we were just singing along a song from my phone. After the song ended, the next song that played was one she knew too and the rest that played as well. We were both surprised. It was just wonderful to meet someone who has the same taste of music as me.
We began to plan and rehearse on how to perform a duet in an upcoming youth conference the next year. On our days of sadness, low energy and negativities, when things get overwhelming, we sang for each other and it was just wonderful.
It's simply amazing the many wonders music can perform. To me it's very soothing to have someone who shares the same taste of music as you. You can always vibe to the same kind of songs, share inspiration and so on.
So how about you? Ever met someone who shares your taste of music? Who is as enthusiastic about music as you are? It would be nice to see some responses in the comment section. Thank you for reading.
