Hive Open Mic #133: "This Is My Now" Cover By Usagidee
Hello, Hive Open Mic Community! Happy Saturday to everyone who is here today and will be reading or watching my content again. It was stated in the original post for the #133 challenge that the challenge only ran until the 29th day. I want to submit my entry by Monday because I still have a lot of university work to accomplish. However, since schools were closed in the Philippines due to the bad weather, I had the chance to produce this content. Anyway, this week's theme is about opportunity. Once again, I struggled to find a song because I knew very little about other music. Fortunately, I came across Jordan Sparks' song on YouTube and chose to release my cover of it. Jordan Sparks wrote a song titled "This is my Now." I experienced a powerful emotion as I was performing this song. I have the impression that I wrote this music.
I believe that this sentence resonates with a lot of individuals, including myself. I saw numerous opportunities for myself when I was younger. But that eventually vanished because I lacked confidence and self-esteem. That was when I first realized how toxic other people were. Even your own family members may present a barrier to your ability to seize possibilities. Additionally, there are some who will detest you, which will make you feel even more insecure.
I came to the realization that I must grab the opportunities that fate presents to me as I grew older. This time, I learnt to think beyond the box and demonstrate to everyone my abilities in those areas. Because of the difficulties I have faced in life, I am thankful for how they have shaped me to be a risk-taker. I can now say that I am grateful for the few folks that stick around and help me develop into a strong and positive version of myself with each opportunity I perceive and take advantage of. 🍀🍀🍀
"This Is My Now"
By Jordin Sparks
There was a time
I packed my dreams away
Livin' in a shell
Hiding from myself
There was a time
When I was so afraid
I thought I'd reached the end
Baby, that was then
I am made of more than my yesterdays
This is my now
And I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see
My fears behind me
Gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then
This is my now
I had to decide
Was I gonna play it safe
Well, but somewhere deep inside
I tried to turn the tide
And find the strength to take that step of faith
This is my now
And I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see
My fears behind me
Gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then
This is my now
And I have a courage
Like never before, yeah
I settled for less
But I'm ready for more
Ready for more
This is my now
And I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see
My fears behind me
Gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then
This is my now
And I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see
My fears behind me
Gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then
This is my now
This is my now

This is a nice song you have shared this week, kudos to you for your efforts to the song
@sayofunmi thank you my dear!!
You are welcome dear
Hi Usagi how are you? wow seriously your voice is really great, you only had a difficulty when it was time to raise the pitch but then you were steady until the end, congratulations, good job 🌹💖!!!
I'm so glad you found that point of balance in your life where you overcame your insecurities, certainly both family and close people, can be a strong obstacle when we talk about well-being and fulfillment, but there is our ability to choose well who we should have on our side and also to show us as we are 👍😉!!!!
Thank you very much for your valuable contribution my dear friend, I also thank you for joining us in this edition of the Hive Open Mic, see you next week ¡You Rock! 🙌😀💛
PS: Usagi, the link to the lyrics takes me to the main page of Muxicmath, not to the lyrics, the link should take us directly to the lyrics, keep that in mind for your next presentations!
Good evening, @fernanblog and thank you so much for reviewing my blog. Actually, I am honest that my voice wasn't that good because I currently have a cough and flu. Don't worry, I am now feeling fine today.
To be honest, I still have these insecurities in my life. But good thing that I am able to cope up with that by being contented and grateful. 🌻🥰
Sorry about that, next time, I will make sure that the right link will be posted. Thank you for reviewing it very well. 🤗❤
nice presentation and nice voice, you did a great job
have a nice day usagide😉

When I first heard this song, it also spoke to me so I really liked it.
Unfortunately I forgot the title and eventually, I totally forgot about this song.
Fortunately I stumbled upon your post and yesss, I can finally add this to my playlist.
Nice voice @usagidee! I enjoyed listening.
@wittyzell thank you ate!! 😍❤
There are so many songs pa na gusto kong kantahin kaso di ko na maalala mga titlee kaya ayan, tamang aral muna ng iba ibang song depende sa theme.
Exelente presentación amiga tu voz muy hermosa como siempre 😻
Awww thanks dearie!! ❤️❤️
