  • A Journey Through Life’s Stories

    Daily writing prompt

    Hey,
    I hope you all are doing well…!

    Today’s prompt forced me into exploring my notes app and the pad that I carry on me,
    he|| even the conversations I’ve had with people up until this point…


    It was and has been a fever dream of sorts,
    I’ve talked on human psychology (of all age),


    I’ve talked about love,
    pretty vocal about two people meeting and some intimate scenes too,
    (I don’t know if they are safe to upload here…?)

    I’ve talked about addiction (its consequences too…)
    and numerous stories about people finding true love,
    some about losing their better halves,
    and many losing their lives too…

    There were many a things that shaped me into who i am today and i utilize them wholly
    even the little things that i see as I’m driving from or to work…

    But all of this for a cause greater than life itself,
    to provide each and every one of you a version of life that’s unseen from a place that isn’t explored by many,
    even if we all have it,
    what we call our mind…

    It is maybe due to meeting people from so many different fields,
    some being doctors,
    aspirants of government jobs,
    psychology students,
    teachers of high schools,
    businessman/women
    and many more that are skipping my mind…

    All in,
    it has been a journey that is to be remembered forever,
    and it shall be with the type of influence I’ve got from these godsend people…

    Cheers 🥂

    This is the one place where I found myself,
    the essence of self,
    the being that I am today,
    there were a lot of problems that came within the path of reaching this place,
    but when I stood there,
    and took this picture the breathtaking view absorbing all of it in,
    it felt like I found a new love for the things the same things that existed back home…

  • A risk bigger than life…

    When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

    Hey,

    I hope you all are doing well…!

    One of the biggest risks that I’ve taken on till date is to start all of this,

    Yes, this writing;

    No one in my family had what is called a said knack for writing,

    So,
    All I’ve been doing is hitting it day in day out,
    without skipping one day,

    Also managing my business where I work by hand
    (because I love to do that…)

    There isn’t any said time that I can afford to take out of my day for writing specifically,

    but,
    the ideas that I jot down in my note’s app are really good ones,
    and one day I will start to share them in the form of stories or maybe some short one-two liners that work here…

    Part of the risk is that some days these posts have a better reach, even though I just reached 20 posts here last morning,
    But,

    Being a writer means that you have to tackle this world along with the fight that goes on within,
    to be expressive sometimes vocal about your dreams and wants,

    But,

    At the end of the day
    you can get a good night’s sleep knowing you wrote and expressed how you felt,
    and maybe changed an aspect of someone reading your posts…

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

    There’s no such thing as the next moment, until there’s a proof of existence that was acknowledged by someone around you, i.e. your proof of existence is confirmed by those who are around you who know you, like you; and when one shall return to the form that it all began from their presence shall be remembered and the words unspoken shall be regretted forever…

  • How My Cousin Inspired My Writing Journey

    Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.

    Hey,

    I hope you all are doing well…!

    This is a basic idea
    The relatives (from your extended family) are the absolute worst people because they pray for your downfall, just because you’re doing a bit better than them..

    But,

    There’s a cousin sister that I have;
    She has been an absolute blessing for me because she has been there for me at times when I couldn’t write or do anything..!

    It was her who pushed me into this direction;
    to write to be expressive to read more books,
    To write random scribbles that come to my mind,
    I still have that old notebook with me where all of this began…

    It was her in our family who pursued English honors and masters and has a good job educating students,

    To be honest even I became a student of her’s in this way,
    and learnt a lot,
    She bought me G0d knows how many books some of which are still left unread,
    but all of this-
    Planting a seed of this writer belongs to her and the nurturing of it belongs to yours truly…

    It has been quite a while that i sent her some of my work that i wrote these past few weeks
    sometimes i upload it on platforms other than this blog,
    but this is a place i can certainly call mine and be truly expressive without any boundaries;

    And i really thank the powers involved and my curious mind for being on the toes and always ready to learn something new,
    just for the heck of it…

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye

    A canvas blank this world is, the thoughts and ideas that exist beyond the horizons of our mind, always a quest to conquer, this ever going conquest called our life…
