The Art of Collecting: My Bottles and Writings

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…

First,
I am really sorry for not uploading a day before,
there were some things bothering that has to be taken care of,
plus,
I submitted two of my works to a competition,
and was busy as the deadline was until last night,
so most of my time was spent on writing,
completing,
editing something whenever I went back to check those drafts…

But,
I’m back here,
and this is one such place,
that will be my go-to,
because the freedom of expression I feel here,
its unmatched,
maybe because this is something that I was meant to do forever…

Coming back to the day’s prompt,
“Do I have any collection…?”
YES,
I do have collection(s),
but,
most of them are stored in a haphazard way,
not in a proper way whatsoever…

One of such is a collection of bottles,
this started as a dream,
in which I had a cabinet full of liquor bottles,
from the places that I haven’t even been,
but,
the bottle of that region was in my cabinet,
some of them were gifted,
some were bought by me on a special occasion,
some to remember the good times spent with those who are close to me,
all in,
the process of achieving a perfect collection still has a long way to go,
but,
it feels good to know that I have started something that I saw in my dreams with an intention of achieving a preset goal…

Other one is a collection of my writing/ideas that I jot down,
they are stored in a more random way then how a child leaves his toys in the drawing room,
an idea here,
and while penning this one down,
another one comes and takes over this mind,
so,
I open another tab,
in my mind also in my notes app to pen that down…

These are my two collections that I own and have owned with pride (second one),
but,
everyone needs to have something like a normal state,
Amongst all the chaos in the world right…?

Hence the word collection…

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
