Tears listening to Shakira Waka Waka
(Context: 36 PIMO got baptized at 21 not a born in) So this may sound cheesy but I was at work last week and this song popped on my Spotify. For years I would avoid this song because when it had first come out, our spiritual parents stated that there is spiritism in the song and we shouldn’t listen to it. That day had a huge impact on me becuase all around me people were listening to this song. I wanted to but I wanted to be faithful to Jehovah. I knew at that point that I would never have anything in common with others no matter how close o might feel. But becuase I did other things in secret, like playing violet games and the like amongst other things, I knew I could never be part of the inside and have JW friends. So for 15 years I spent always doing things alone. Always depressed and ashamed. It didn’t matter cause I was going to commit suicide. But now that I have woken up, I no longer want to die. I want to LIVE. So when this song came up I finally let it play it full. The hopeful words, the beat. I started moving my feet. And then I broked down in tears. I had to hide my face cause I didn’t want my co workers to see me. For the first time, I felt free to explore and choose what I wanted listen to without remorse. Thank you Shakira for making such a beautiful song.
