Don’t you forget about me…
Songs that matter to you (or not) — Don’t you (forget about me)
The song,enjoy :-)
An SMS from my mom
Me and my mother texting each other (and having our weekly call) is not something special.
Actually, with the COVID-19 virus still around and strict rules about visiting one another in my country (Belgium) and not be able to visit her, we text even more than before the pandemic hit our lives.
But the SMS I am going to tell you about was special to me…
Good news! Got my first vaccine. Soon we can meet again. Thinking of you love mom xxx.
Now getting her vaccine is not so special, millions of people are getting their first shot.
But the fact she was thinking of me, thinking of seeing me again instead of no longer have to worry about getting infected with the virus.
Feeling left alone according to science
Human beings are instinctively social animals. It is natural for us to feel alone or lonely when we are isolated from others.
As a tribal species, our brains adapted to rely on social connections to survive. In fact, according to neuroscientist John Cacioppo, who has made a career out of studying loneliness.
“The absence of social connection triggers the same, primal alarm bells as hunger, thirst and physical pain. Humans don’t do well if they’re alone.”
Don’t you forget about me
Needless to say that my mother is special to me. I will never forget her.
She is the one that helped me to be the man I am today.
I will never forget her… and I am sure we will meet again. No one, no virus, will prevent that.
Last but not least, stay yourself.
Till next song (that matters to you),
