Quit Playing Games With My Heart

I grew up with boyband - music. For instance New Kids on the Block (NKOTB), Nsync, 5ive, Backstreet Boys, Take That, Boys II Men, Westlife, and many more.

I remember trading video cassettes with friends to watch recorded concerts, cranking up the stereo to enjoy the music, and experiencing a mix of laughter, tears, and pure joy.

Now, hearing those familiar tunes brings a wave of nostalgia. It's amusing to realize I still remember the lyrics, even though I struggle to remember where I put my keys nowadays.

But the moment I hear the songs, I jump into a time-travel machine and I find myself in my old bedroom. Jump-dancing in front of my stereo, while my mum is bouncing on my door calling out that I have to turn down the volume so the neighbors wont complain.

Trying to share this with my own kids is tough, but I hope they discover the same joy in music, as I have.
