Thanks To YouTube

I've recently committed to finding and reviving my creative side that has been quieted by my excessive migraines. To get me started down that path I spent some time over the weekend watching old music videos on YouTube. I never really spent much time on YouTube until recently when I discovered that you can watch any old music video you want!!

Music is such a wonderful gem because a song can bind itself to our memories and emotions like superglue. From about 6th grade on music was a very big part of my life and definitely a big part of my creative process and expression.

So, I got started with some Motown Philly and right away I was transported back to the early 90s. I went through about 4 hours worth of videos and then needed to be put myself to bed. During this time I was reminded of parts of me that had mostly been forgotten among the pain and stress of the past several years. Even better than that, I was able to experience those feelings again. I found myself laughing out loud, getting teary and even danced a bit. It was thrilling.

Even though I didn't wake up with all the same feelings, I know YouTube is there for me any time I want those experiences.
