Bloganuary: I’m no tree, I am an ent

Day 30. If I was a tree, I wouldn’t be one. I would be an Ent. The one in Lord of the rings. Don’t ask me why. They are cool, that’s all. But if I was a tree, it would the one below. I don’t know what kind it is, but it has branches twisting here and there. I’m complicated, and I have different qualities. The photo is taken in front of the clubhouse of a golf course. It’s an ancient tree, but still standing.

Bloganuary: Even the smallest person can change the world

Day 29. “Even the smallest person can change the world”- Roger Rabbit. Or, “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future” – Galadriel in Lord of the rings. Some people think they can’t change the world, but they are wrong. We are in this together. We should think about climate change. Saving humankind is the main priority. You can change it by doing little things. Walk instead of taking the car. Travel to places where you can get without a plane. Don’t litter in nature. Recycle all the things you can. You can also teach your kids good manners. Try to think positive because negative thinking only makes you feel miserable. Be open-minded and think about your attitude. It begins with you. Just because something has always been done in a certain way doesn’t mean you can’t change it. That’s how I am changing the world.

If you don’t think about the problems, nothing will ever change. If people only think about themselves, the future will be dark for the next generation. Nature is not the only one that should be saved. You should also try to enlighten people about other issues in the world. There are many homeless, lonely, poor people, health issues and so on. One person can’t save the world by themselves. But if we work together, we can make a difference. If we don’t do anything, nothing will change. If I repeated myself in this post, it doesn’t matter. Important things should be repeated.

A song that gives me feels the most is ‘Man in the Mirror’ by Michael Jackson. He cared for the environments and things that were wrong in the world. You should listen to the words because it’s all so true. The lyrics video is below.

Bloganuary: What is on your music playlist right now?

Day 28. I have many playlists on Spotify. I have the premium one, so no ads. I collected some of them myself, and then there are This is (name of the band/singer) playlists. At the moment, This is Kylie Minogue. I usually listen to the whole playlist and then start with another one. Sometimes I listen to albums. It’s all about the music, so no podcasts for me.

I like all kinds of music, except heavy metal and classical music. Most of my favourite genres are pop and rock. I love 80s music the most, but I also like some newer ones. But don’t ask me about new artists because I’m more into bands and artists that have been around for years. I don’t follow the music industry that much anymore. I used to when I was younger, but I stopped when my interests changed. Music is my life, and I couldn’t live without it. I listen to it every day. If it’s not on my mobile, it’s from the radio. It would be too quiet if it wasn’t on. I own a lot of CDs too, and I still buy them. Which reminds me, I should listen to Duran Duran’s new album, Future Past. If I could listen to only one playlist for the rest of my life, it would be Duran Duran. I can’t wait to see them in concert on my birthday this year.

If you have Spotify, you can see the playlists on my profile.
