6 THINGS TO DO
1 Written by Zara
TRY SOMETHING NEW
Make a list of the things you would like to do that you've never done
before. There are infinite opportunities to try something new. You
can try a new activity such as knitting, swimming, dancing, hiking,
playing a sport or photography. If its not a new activity, adjust your
daily life and do something new in your schedule. Whether its waking
up early or training for a marathon - everything counts.

EXPLORE A NEW PLACE
There are so many places to explore all around the world. Whether
its in your country or in a different one, the world is waiting for you.
If its in your country, check out a town, city or park that you've
never been too. If its not in your country, research places in that
country that you'd like to visit. If traveling isn't favorable, explore a
new place {virtually}.

I'm definitely going to have to say Pink Floyd's, The
Wall. This amazing album helped me get through a very
difficult time in my life. I was 13 yrs. old in junior high
school and dealing with a very abusive step-father and
a mother who didn't care. My life is a lot better now
and music has always been there for me through the
good & not so good times. One of my favorite things to
do these days is get in my Land Rover, put on whatever
music I'm in the mood for, turn it up and drive.
@khurdagray
My current favorite album is Here by Alicia Keys. It
focuses on social issues such as the LGBTQ sector,
humanity's relationship with earth, being raised in the
ghetto, women's self-image and natural rights, addictions,
step-family (blended family), war, and moving forward.
It's a very inspiring album. For those who haven't heard it,
I would highly suggest it. However, forewarning, there are
a few points of strong language. Just look up the clean
versions. The interlude's are very good as well.
@gw6271
Post Malones', HollyWood's Bleeding. The reason this is
my favorite album ever is because every song wrote
can be translated to how you are feeling at that
moment. Post Malone connects with his viewers better
than any other artist I am a fan of at the moment. This
album can be happy, inspirational, or even sad.

Music is just SO powerful! I would have to go with The
Beatles ~ Abbey Road. Curiosity of my youth, allowed for
my discovery of this gem. I was at a stage where I was
discovering music from decades past and starved for as
much as I could get of it. I loved where that music would
take me and the feelings it gave me. Listening to this very
same album as my dad, I became emotional and I felt a
connection with him that I hadn’t had before. From that
moment on, I fell hard for the Beatles.
@tluzzo99
My favorite album ever is News of the World by Queen.
Growing up, my family didn't have a lot of money. My
older brother had a few albums and this was one of them.
We played it all the time. It is one of Queen's greatest
albums, "We Are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You"
have since become rock anthems. My favorite song is
"It's Late". I heard it on the radio shopping in Walmart
last weekend. Brought back a ton of memories. I was
back in my bedroom and it was 1978 again. Loved it!
@S8230151u
My favorite album is You Should Be Here by Kehlani because
it reminds me of the beauty of love. The way she uses the
lyrics to emphasize her need to be with her lover throughout
the album and how she chooses to show it is not only
powerful, but also that love will prevail. Personally my fave
song on the album is You Should Be Here. Every time I listen
to it, I feel a wave of melancholy -not many songs can do that.
