[Movie/Music] My Favorite Things from "Sound of Music" - 1965

What is your favorite thing?

This music from the movie "Sound of Music" gives warmth to minds.

It heats up my mind when I listen to it.

How lovely is this song?


What is your favorite things?

Often times, I forget what I like and what my tastes are.

I think it is because I am trained to suppress my feelings and myself.

So rather than knowing what I like, I tend to follow what most people like.

However, I think it is important that I know about myself.

One of thing I should know about myself is what I like and what my favorite things are.

For me, it takes courage to say and insiste what I like.

Distinguishing your taste and being stubborn is a bit different.

However, I think that I treated stubbornness same as sticking to what I like.

Because of that, I became very bland person.

Anyways, listen to this song and think about what you like and be proud of your favorite things because that is part of you!
