Halfway Through: Choosing Joy For The Rest Of The Year

in Q Inspired-by-Music2 days ago
Greetings to my fellow Hiveans. I hope you had a good time for the past weeks and months. Today marks the beginning of a new month of a second half of the year and a new week as well. Such a wonderful day to have a fresh start.

There are few songs that strike a balance between a delicate optimism and deep reflection 🪞. And I will like to talk about one of the rare tracks that grace this honour. Good life by One Republic is actually here to speak for itself on this great coincidental act of today which symbolises a fresh energy .

I woke up to a bright sunny day . As I stretched my body,My brain was active thinking of what made this day look different from others. At some point I could tell that every air I breath looks fresh beyond the few past days.

Not quite long,,,My phone rang and that was my Sister calling to wish me a prosperous new months and Sunday blessings. I exclaimed,,No wonder I slept so well last night and I was first woken up today with a gentle sea breeze that tastes so fresh.

I sprang up from my bed to my two feet and I turned on my Sunday playlist,The first was Chants of Fire by Cal j Vinka.

It was like a blood booster that lifted my spirit to connect with the supreme being. Said my morning prayers,Brushed my teeth,Dressed my bed and headed to take a shower.

I couldn't believe that I was thrilled to take my phone to the bathroom when I was bathing, Something I haven't done in ages. I know that some days are like that,We feel different, Unexceptionally happy and one can tell just by glancing through my face that today was one of them.

I allowed myself to enjoy worship songs to a point before I remembered my long lost time good music,Good life by One Republic.So I searched on it on my Spotify app and guess what?.I found it and I left it on repeat 🔁.


It’s not just any date. Today is the first day of June, signaling the start of a new month. But it’s also more than that — it’s the midway point of the year. We’ve officially crossed into the second half of 2025. Even more poetically, today happens to be a Sunday — the traditional first day of the week. In every symbolic sense, today whispers: new beginnings, fresh energy, reflection, and realignment.

In the lyrical parts,,,It stated that When you are happy like a fool,Let it take you over/When everything is out,You gotta take it in.

I was genuinely happy today,Don't know if it's because of the day that embodies this fresh energy,,,I would have being overjoyed if it was my birth month,But since it's not. I must say that there was no reason behind my happiness.

Everything seems perfect ,I haven't felt offended by anyone. Not even words get me angry and I just feel like I am loving myself the more. Frankly speaking,I do not wish for today to end.Alot has happened in the past few months,Tough rides,Challenges but my happiness is that it will surely be good one day.

This song doesn't ignore that life can be messy,Just like in his hit track,Sometimes there's planes that I can't jump out and Sometimes there's Bullshit that doesn't work out yet despite all these facts,,,We need to lift our eyes and This has Gotta be the good life..

In All good life Urge us not just to Strive harder but see better because that is what is already there.
