I wrote this text on the 18th of December, 2025. It was a day when I realized, not for the first time in my life, that music helps me overcome fatigue.
The truth is that I was tired not only during my job, while being in the office, but also later, while rucking and after returning home. While in the office, I was listening to music for most of my time. While rucking (I had almost 30 kg [66 lbs] on my back and shoulder), I was humming many melodies in my mind. After returning home, together with my beloved Kamilka, we were listening to music. Indeed, it is thanks to melodies that I was able to write this text. I was very close to resigning from writing due to fatigue.
The older I am (while writing this text, I was forty years old), the more I feel that short days in December (on the 21st of December, there will be the shortest day in the northern hemisphere) make me feel much more sleepy than during long summer days.
I believe that the lack of exposure to the sun’s rays is the main cause of this. All these things make me more fatigued than during long days. Luckily, all these things do not prevent me from rucking. For example, today, I was rucking for the 3rd day in a row. How do I overcome this fatigue? Music makes me fly. Music makes me want to act, to live, even if sometimes I would prefer to lie in bed and get some sleep. How happy I am that during the next ten days I will work only twice. It means I will have more time only for rucking and doing street photography, but also for listening to music. This activity truly stimulates my mind, imagination, mood, and energy level.
