As I sat there thinking about life and the hastles that come with it, I remembered my good old piano days when I'd take my keyboard to the balcony (to depress my neighbours), label each key with the lyrics of the song I had in mind and play myself away, not minding if I was making good music or not. To me then, the piano had no wrong note because every key I hit made a good sound even if it didn't make good sense. I realised that the white keys made good music but without the black keys, there wouldn't be a beautiful melody.
There are no wrong keys in life. Each key of life, both black and white, has its purpose. Happiness and sadness will always come, but both are important to your growth and well-being as you go through life's journey. Happiness provides resolution and satisfaction whilst sadness provides perseverance and strength. We may never really be able to appreciate the good times if we have no bad times.
So as much as we all love the high notes and white keys, let's not disregard the low notes and black keys as these are what makes a beautiful melody.
Life is beautiful, no matter what you go through, you've got to keep living, and when you hit the low notes or feel like giving up, always remember that purpose is always born out of pain.
