Jailed, Yet... He Is Still Heard.
Greetings Q.inspired Music Lovers!
Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you
Mistakes are part of our lives. Without it, we can't edge forward as there'll be nothing challenging to push us toward achieving our goals. The fuel tank to explore different options won't be available, and without it, innovations won't happen.
...and this means that we will be stuck on boring day to day activities. Chants like "Adulthood na scam" won't come into play, and everything will just be the same. A world without uniqueness.
We have only one coin(life line), and we never know when it'll be snatched away. It's not like death meets for negotiation or tells us exactly where and when it is coming unless to those who have premonition powers to foresee. But, even with that, death can't be cheated on, which is why when a person who was close to the brink of death survives, we say the person is lucky!
However, luck doesn't follow us around at all times, which is why we need to determine how to spend our lives or someone who will spend it for us!
I have been having a lot of thoughts lately despite my tight schedule. I guess my mind works wonders! And, I just can't help thinking about it so much. You know, the energy we put into building things only for us to be snatched away from those things without heads up.
Now, I can't help but just remember people that I have met who live life to please others and others whom I have met who live for themselves. However, there are some others whose side is to make sure they live for both themselves and the people around them.
Having these thoughts, my heart remembered a song and how the life of the singer has been so far, and I couldn't help but swallow hard. This is because his music has a lot of beauty to them and yet... the life showcased he led wasn't the best.
...and that's some people for you. The people whose words and actions are at loggerhead with another. They are no fools. They know what's right, say what's right, but do the opposite.
However, I won't be the judge of the person who I am not very familiar with individually, though I am very familiar with his songs. They ginger me, which is why I have chosen three of his songs.
But before that, let's get to know him and move to his songs.
His Name.
Robert Sylvester Kelly is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and convicted child sex offender(..and the statement right here ruined everything). This is where the quote, *"A good name is better than gold," comes into play.
I have loved R-kelly music and still do. They are too good to pass on, but whenever I listen to his songs and remember where he is and what led him there, I can't help the painful pang that hit me. Statement like, "He shouldn't have done it!" always take place in my mind.
...and just like the quote aforementioned, we can guess how he played his coin. However, there's another reason why I have decided to write about R-kelly, and this is because he was born in the year 1967 on January 8th, which makes his birthday two days to go.
If I Could Turn; R-Kelly.
When the tears drop and everything just isn't the same, always remember before you take another step, "You can't turn back the hands of time, so know where your determination lies."
I Wish; R-Kelly.
We can wish, but not all our wishes will come true. There are things that are best not to wish for no matter how tough it is because at that crucial time, emotions may fail us more.
The World's Greatest; R-Kelly.
Yes, you are the greatest and more than you know. You are a lot, so when the storm rises, look at it and let your silence speak.
Do not fret. Feel the surge of energy, and don't belittle yourself. Today is for you. Tomorrow is and every day is.

Thanks for reading and listening.
Peace be unto those who crave it and more to those who chase it away.
We appreciate you taking the time, to either use #ThoughtfulDailyPost, or otherwise help this Community grow. So...
Thank you!!
Thank you 😊 .
I can't help but agree with your thoughts on the importance of mistakes and the challenges they bring. It's true that without them, we might not push ourselves to achieve our goals or explore new options. I love that you remind us to always learn from these mistakes and not let them define us.
I love how you mentioned the song "If I Could Turn" by R-Kelly, as it's one of my favorites as well. The lyrics are very powerful, and the song's message as for R-Kelly's personal life, it's indeed sad to see the challenges he's faced.
I guess this is why society should try to separate an artist from the person. Many artists have faced personal struggles, and their music often reflects those experiences. R-Kelly's music is still loved by many, and his songs will continue to touch people's hearts, even if his personal life hasn't been as fortunate as his talent deserves.
Great job on the post
Yes, without mistakes, we won't get to explore and learn while at it.
It is sad to see the difference between his personal life and his songs. And, I do like the music If I Could Turn too.
If you look at our society, you'd get to know that the life of the people we call celebrities and the one's they showcase to people either in their music or acting is very different. This is why we ought to be very careful and not let our passion for the works done by the person lead us into believing their life is flawless.
