July is a bit difficult to be happy, loss of grandma, death of 2 reporters, flash flood in Europe, Covid cases in Jakarta and etc.
I am not very productive in July in making vlog and writing blog. It is not that I am lack of idea, contrarily, I have a lot of ideas! I am just lack of energy. I am now focus on recovery, and I look forward to produce more later. Good news is insomnia is less serious now.
What do I do to make myself relax?
Tonight, when I am not reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, I am listening to Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15 by Johannes Brahms. I can not read a book and listen to music at the same time.
The book is super interesting, it is about a beautiful handsome young man who is jealous of his own portrait. Because his portrait stay young, and he is getting older. The Dorian Gray Syndrome, therefore, is the a cultural and societal phenomenon, the inability to age and thus to mature mentally. When I finished with this book, I might write a review about it.
The Brahms’s music is like a super comfortable pillow that I could just lean my head on it. The changing mood and harmony in the music are like different dream scenario. Melancholy, wavy, beautiful, grand … … Just listen to it, you will understand what I mean.
So, I will get back to my book and music now. Good night! Sleep tight!
