Chopin…

It’s very late at night. I finally managed to get a little time for myself. Since I started doing translations, I’m so busy all the time; I barely find time to do anything. And to think I gave up my previous job so that I could have more spare time. But at least it’s lucrative. I’ve made quite a lot of money, now I can easily afford that trip around Europe with my ever beloved darling; unfortunately for me, we can’t go anymore, since he has to go someplace else with work (at first, I understood “pampas”, but it’s France actually – I think). Maybe we’ll go for New Year’s – that ought to be a saga! In the meantime however, I should find a good destination for all that money! Guess who’s getting a new wardrobe? LOLBut let’s get back into the present…It’s late. It’s raining outside. Actually, these last couple of weeks have been kind of moody weather-wise, mostly gloomy. And now it’s even raining, which I don’t particularly mind – it sometimes puts me in pensive state, especially when I’m alone. I’m even listening to Chopin to top it off. This reminds me of when I used to live on the family estate, and every time it would rain, I would take out a book from the library, put on some music, and go read it on the balcony – listening to the rain, the stereo playing, and the book telling the tale, wonderful concert.Chopin was my first love when it comes to music, ever since I started playing the piano. I haven’t played in such a long time… I’m afraid I might have forgotten; I’m even thinking about buying a piano, something electronic I guess – I don’t really have the space to get a real one, nor the time to care for it. Still, playing always gave me comfort. No matter what, no matter how bad, it would always fade away when I’d touch the keys. There’s something magical about the music, about the human mind that can create such a sound.

Still listening to Chopin… He’s had a troubled life, actually – famous yes, but never finding love, being torn by sickness at young age and all that. But the music is absolutely brilliant. It emanates the deepest sensitivity ever – touches the very core of one’s heart, one’s brain. You’ll get the feeling that there is a lot of pain in the world. However, hope resonates all over – and in the end it leaves you knowing that there is justice in the world, and that all will be set right sooner or later.

And that is just how I’m feeling tonight… even though apparently I can’t find the words to express it. I guess I needed the right music to set me right. And one of these days, all will be set right with itself.
