Hello dear ladies of this community. I hope you are having a great day. I take the opportunity to write, to participate in this week's contest #91. I would love to invite @nayeskin and @abicaro to participate this time. As I like music, one of the proposals catches my attention. But I will also try to talk a little bit about the seasons, although here in Venezuela they are not given as such, but I am curious to experience some that are clearly seen in other countries. In the case of the song with a story, it made me think and remember very nice things from the past that I want to share with you and that is the idea.

➊ 🎼 Name a song, any song, happy or sad, that touches your heart and soul every time you listen to it. What memories, feelings, emotions and images does the song bring back to you? Is there a story that goes along with the song?

One of the things I love most in life is music, since I was a little girl my interest in songs and lyrics is something I remember. Writing the lyrics of the songs I liked and also singing, distracted me and gave me a lot of joy. Even now, I like to listen to music, sing and dance, pop and romantic songs are my favorites. Of course when I want to motivate myself to do chores around the house, I put on the radio something more upbeat like salsa, merengues, and others. I have some special songs because they have a history in my life, but I want to talk about one in particular.

The song that moves me and that every time I listen to it makes me travel back in time and relive unique moments and feelings is: "te amaré" by the Spanish singer Miguel Bosé. It is a romantic song that expresses very beautiful and deep feelings of love that touches the heart. I like this song because I am very romantic and I think it identifies what it is to feel love for someone, a sincere love without pretexts. Also, in part of the lyrics it expresses that loving another person is a decision, therefore no one is forced to do it, whether the other person reciprocates or not. Besides, how sincerely it describes with what feelings you can love, "with madness and balance...I will love you", it says in part and I love it.

💌 The history of this song in my life is that it was one of the songs that my husband, who we have been married for more than 25 years, dedicated to me once when we were dating. When you are engaged it is all a great emotion, and more when they brought you flowers, stuffed animals, candy, those are things that are very nice and makes love grow. But these details also show to what degree they are interested in you, if there is sincere love or not. I had heard this song "I will love you" before, but once I received a love letter, written in handwriting by my boyfriend at the time, with part of the lyrics of this one, I marked it as a favorite, hahaha, it's obvious isn't it.... Once I received the letter and read it, that detail made me fall even more in love with my dear husband, because there are men who are not very expressive and use these things to make themselves felt. The song achieved its purpose, it made me notice other things that he felt and that he used the song to express them.

So even now after many years of marriage, we listen to this song together and we can both look at each other's faces and sing it with feeling. It makes me remember with a lot of emotion through the lyrics, the new born love that has lasted through the years. In the lyrics of this song it says: "I will love you, I will love you when you are no longer present. You will still be customary and I will love you". As I said, it expresses deep feelings of true love and that is why I will also "love" this song for the rest of my life. I still keep the letter that carries part of this lyric and when I go through my things that I read it, I am touched and feel joy for having that detail as a memory. "In spite of everything and always...I will love you".

➋ Winter ❄️ Spring 🌿 Summer 🌞 Fall 🍂. What is your favorite season and why? If you live in an area that doesn't have all four seasons, what season would you like to live in and why?

Although I can't see markedly the seasons where I live. The one that I like and is my favorite is "spring". This season is characterized by the sprouting of new plants, fruits and flowers that have been in recess after a long winter. So there are many flowers, of different colors, the trees are full of new leaves and you can see the joy that the plants present in this season. As I like to be cheerful I think this is the season with which I identify, because even the weather is favorable to enjoy a day of walking in a park or mountain. As I grew up in areas with lots of vegetation and flowers, accompanied by imposing mountains, this is why I also like spring.

The pleasant weather plus the variety of plants, flowers and fruits of this season make it a time of joy and sharing, especially after being cooped up during the cold winter. I imagine that it is like when we were locked up by the covid-19, and then we could leave the house and enjoy what is outside, hahaha, I think this virus marked us all in this sense, hahaha. When I see in other countries the spring I would love to be there and go for a walk, grow flowers, feel the warm sun and celebrate daily with my family such a beautiful time. The cold in excess makes me feel sad and depressed, but the sun and pleasant warmth make me wake up with joy and desire to be active, so I think winter is one of the seasons in which I would not like to be.

In the end here in Venezuela there are only periods or seasons that we can enjoy, rainy and summer. The weather in most places is pleasant, because there is no cold in excess of freezing, nor heat as intense as it is in other countries. So I am happy to be and live here, when I want some cold I move to the nearby areas where I can enjoy this and there I see different flowers and vegetation, which fill me with joy. And when I want some warmth I can go to the nearby beaches and enjoy the day, or simply go for a walk close to home and I can feel the warm weather and sweat, hahaha, I can not complain I have to choose.
