  • The cyclic nature of humans

    The cyclic nature of humans

    What’s something you believe everyone should know.

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    Something that I believe that everyone should know is human nature and its repeated cycle…

    If a person has wronged you or even something simple like making delays in giving payment for a job that has already been done(from a business pov)..

    They will often repeat this behaviour again in the near future and until you continue to be in business with them, always something will come up, always something will happen;

    One day it will be something the next day it will be something else until you take on a crude form and make them agree on your terms…

    Same thing happened with me the day before, an old client with such behaviour took some material that our company prepared and it took him a whole month before he came back to pay the dues,

    (Even in that he held back a few hundred just because it was a big deal)…

    But making them understand that the payment was due for a whole month and the money received at that point would have been utilised in a way that it would have grown by some significant amount until yesterday

    But all of these things go over their heads, like I spoke in a language unknown,

    As they drove off and I returned with the payment there was a sense of relief that that there was one less persons to worry about brought me some ease…

    In a few weeks another order will be placed and its payment will be delayed just like the usual but I do plan to make sure that I receive it on time if I hand it over in person and I can receive the payment in full without waiting,

    But not everything goes to plan right…?

    Until next time where we can learn something new about the cyclic nature of human and the way they make excuses to get out of situations by giving excuses…

    Cheers🥂

  • What does it mean to be a kid at heart?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    To be a kid at heart 🤔 it seems like a very tricky question because it depends on what time in life do you ask this question to a person…

    Imagine asking this to a 18 year old who just passed school and now has plans to attend college to further continue their studies or tries to get into a work college to learn and tackle real life skills while working and learning the also earning something for the family

    Their response would naturally differ because one where they attend normal college they would still have some innocence, they’d be playful, a little immature and even make mistakes along the way,

    But someone who has joined work school/college due to some circumstances they wouldn’t be shaped that way, their first few adult years of upbringing would be much harsher as they would be guided and taught and made aware of the world much sooner than a normal kid would…

    Now imagine asking this to a person who is is their mid 30’s working in a corporate world their response would be someone who is a kid at heart would have been exploited a whole lot, a lot of responsibilities would have been given to them(not necessarily belonging to them) and their emotions and their innocence played by many just to get their work done or taken advantage of (in a bad way)…

    Now asking this to someone who is in their mid 50’s would be a gem to hear,

    They’d start it like,

    “Oh to be a kid at heart it would mean the world to them, during their times it was all they could do, they used to play with neighbouring kids and used to do all the fun activities together, take on adventures, watching episodes on tv together, playing console games and so much…

    And sometimes it feels like it never goes away, the innocence that someone carries with themselves and how they take care of those around them and feel vulnerable when someone raises their voice at them but at the end of the day they come back in a way to mediate all that happened even if it weren’t their fault…

    For me to be a kid at heart is a bad thing, perhaps when you are soft spoken worry to much about other and give other priority by giving yourself a back seat in your own life all one is doing is let them take advantage of your state or the place of mind that you are right now,

    Most importantly people skip things make mistakes and tell sorry and such people make mistakes and count on your innocence and your nature of forgiveness more often…

    With such a thing comes both ups and downs well such a thing exists and you can find it in people many times,

    But it’s upto you to embrace this quirk of theirs or take advantage of it for your own shallow benefits…

    Cheers 🥂

  • The wishes that no one wishes

    You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    The genie and his blessings are onto us today, and let’s get the best of our abilities and think of something that helps us in the best way possible without harming the world(not necessarily causing harm but also helping it in the process…)

    The first wish would be something that hurts my deepest core; developing a machine or a process that brings up survival of newborns, I know this might not seem like much a big deal to all of you but there are a lot of things that go wrong when a child is born (the mind forgets to breathe, a lot more things go wrong and may a times the children are born with diseases that hinder their lives ahead if they successfully survive…

    (In short having a system or a process that helps bringing up infant survival the first 48-72 hours)

    The second wish that I have within this mind is that no one goes to bed hungry ever;

    The world is tricky in itself and the survival of an adult seems tricky, often in that many people who are not able to earn their keep they often go to sleep hungry including the children which in itself is such a bad thing that the parents are not able to afford for their kids much less themselves…

    (In short no one goes to bed hungry anymore including the adults and kids too)

    The third wish is something that I feel really selfish about asking;

    The final wish is to have a vibrant life, a life that is well lived and the people around us are caring and helping in ways that makes their and our lives better, by helping those in need and bringing up those who are not fortunate enough…

    In a hope that when it’s their time to depart and go to the spiritual being that they bow down to, they are able to tell them that they lived a fulfilling life and without any guilt, asking more for the people they are survived by and wishing that the absence of their presence hurts them less…

    (In short each person lives a life that is well lived according to them)

    With that being said the three wishes are up and it’s my time to take my leave from you and I will be here yet again tomorrow…

    Cheers 🥂

  • Describing how these past couple of months went by…

    Describe a family member.

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    I know it’s been a while since I’ve been alive here but I’m more than happy to tell you that all of the works are returning soon…

    The write ups the relations the works all of them 😉

    Just had to spend some time to get all of the things in order, work to the place it belongs or it should have belonged;

    All things said a lot has happened and I’m here to tell you all everything about it sooner than you think…

    Life has been tricky

    This realisation came after losing a few members, some people I used to do deals with(friends made through the business) their ages ranging from mid 30’s to late 60’s…

    Helping them all along with whatever I could by lending an ear; sometimes just talking and getting to know what goes on inside their minds…

    With that being said all that was done back then has to be exhumed and revived and a new vision that exists has to be brought to this world;

    To be brought to you (my precious reader…)

    That was all about me as a family member…

    Cheers 🥂

  • Crafting Authority: Daily Learning in Writing and Life

    Crafting Authority: Daily Learning in Writing and Life

    Daily writing prompt
    On what subject(s) are you an authority?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    Well,
    when the topic of authority comes in,
    I like to think it this way,
    one can never master a skill,
    no matter how much time they spend on it,
    but,
    a level of expertise comes in,
    after dabbling in a single field…

    After spending around three years,
    and writing at least half a million to quarter of million words,
    and given countless of them to writers and individual organizations,
    it’s safe to say there’s some level of authority that I have been blessed with,
    (On this),
    But,
    even saying this feels wrong to me,
    because there is so much yet to be done,
    so much yet to be achieved from this,
    and coming from a background that has nothing to do with this,
    makes it hard as the way has to be paved as I walk on it,
    for someone to follow the same…

    The field that I’m working in other than this,
    makes it polar opposite,
    Working in an industry where I learn new things each day,
    and return home drenched in sweat and covered in a layer of soot,
    but,
    even there,
    the learning continues on,
    and it happens on the daily,
    a new way to achieve results quicker and cheaper,
    this tussle continues each day,
    tomorrow too,
    and the day after too…

    So,
    the struggle continues each day,
    both ways,
    But it’s a good life,
    that continues perpetually…

    Cheers 🥂

  • Finding Your Someone: Embracing Growth and Connection

    Finding Your Someone: Embracing Growth and Connection

    No-one will,
    you’ll have to understand this;

    There’s gonna be someone and if you aren’t prepared for that someone,
    life might not throw anyone at you for a long time…

    Making you realise the problem,
    that your growth happened at a rate slower than what it should have had…

    This certain someone can be a colleague,
    someone you know from the neighborhood,
    someone who you studied with,
    someone who you go to the office with,
    or someone you saw once and they disappeared from your sight forever,
    but they stay in your vision,
    they stay on your mind…

    What if you were meant to be,
    just the way you are right now…?
    (Now that’s scary…)

    It might not mean that you won’t ever find that certain someone,

    but,

    It does mean that you will spend a chunk of life alone which you were supposed to spend with them;

    All alone;

    That isn’t a bad thing per se, but, the moments that you were supposed to spend together, bonding and pulling each other out of a situations that were too much for either of you…!

    You had to pull yourself out of it;

    and when that happens your instinct becomes that of survival, rather than it becoming of trust and once that happens it becomes extremely difficult to revert back to what it should have been…!

    P.S.

    Never in my right mind I’d say that your instinct should always be that of looking for help,

    but,

    It should be a mix of both,

    sometime it should be that of fighting/pushing when the situation becomes hard to handle but when it comes to your S.o. It should be that of affection, kindness and love…!

    But,

    that doesn’t happen automatically,

    It comes from trial and error,

    You act/react and learn the right way and then it becomes the norm…!

    Circling back,

    When you find yourself all alone at such times,

    it makes you feel no one is made for you and you aren’t made for anyone…!

    And this mindset kills any hope that you have for yourself or someone else;

    Making you feel bad, sometimes worse when you are rejected and when that happens one of two things are triggered;

    Sadness and its loop taking you down

    or

    Anger and its loop transforming into rage and getting into your head…!

    From an external point of view the latter is worse where a person develops a feeling to show someone their place by using force;

    But,

    equally is bad the first part where a person pulls themselves down making them feel worthless and after a tipping point ending it all…!

    The type of fight matters,

    is it with self and the feeling that come back to you like a spiral staircase…!

    or,

    is it with what someone said and you planned otherwise and you want that to be the final outcome…!

    A thought that roams this mind so freely that it bugs me…!

    Taking a day off today due to bad health…!

    This fever is going to be the end of me as all of my joints hurt like I have been beaten very hard…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • The Power of Positive Influence in Life

    The Power of Positive Influence in Life

    Daily writing prompt
    Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.
    View all responses

    Hey…

    I hope you all are doing well…

    This prompt is one of the good ones,
    someone who had a positive impact on my life,
    this sparks numerous questions because there have been equally or more who have had a negative impact on me and my life and given me ideas to live a life much better than how they shall ever live…

    I’ll share one of each;

    I got a chance of meeting one such person with whom I’m still in contact with,
    I just talked to them a few minutes back,
    I wish for them to prosper and have a beautiful life forever,
    The exams that they’re preparing for,
    I hope from the bottom of my heart that they achieve what they want in life,
    (Even if I won’t be a part of their life if they achieve their dreams i shall remember them forever…)

    She studies a subject that we both have undying love for,
    and that’s how we connected,
    on finding that she studies it,
    and I have a keen interest for it,
    Our conversations happen on and around the same topic,
    and we both learn and love it,
    when both of us love and grow from our astute and very niche observations…

    That’s the type of conversations I wanted to have forever,
    and on finding someone who does makes my life much better and worth living;

    She has been the one,
    and the only one for whom i shall continue to write,
    because her words of praise aren’t just there to fill a void,
    but,
    they help me by giving me an inspiration and a will to continue forever…
    and i hope they will forever….

    Cheers 🥂

    There was something bugging me,
    I was in my home,
    One place that’s considered safe,
    I was trembling,
    Looking for someone,
    Something there…

    What was it,
    I couldn’t put my hand on it…!

    And all I could do was shake and tremble,
    And tell those around me,
    Nothing…

    I’m good,
    I’m all good,
    Everything’s alright as I looked at myself,
    In the mirror,
    I saw the horror within my eyes..

    View all responses

    Hey..

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    You must be thinking that,
    I must,
    I really would have people I look upto ,
    admire and would want to be like,
    but,
    there in reality,
    there are none…

    There are a few whom i read,
    who pushed me into a direction to work hard,
    write with consistency,
    explore different avenues of life,
    to be a better person on a whole…

    But,
    really there are none whom i admire,
    there wasn’t someone who would guide me to write,
    even if i am grateful for people who pushed me in this direction,
    but,
    admiration per se?
    that,
    i think is earned when someone looks at you,
    looks up to you from the bottom up…

    But,
    I’ve taken my steps looking at something far beyond a person,
    or what anyone is capable of,
    so,
    I’ve yet to find someone i admire,
    from the bottom of my heart…

    Till i find someone….!

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

    Now this is something that i call an inspiration,
    or a source of one,
    the moon its serenity is something that i admire forever,
    a countless number of images in my phone you’ll find of the same,
    much thanks to the world for existing and letting us witness the beauty it possesses…

  • From Scrolling to Creating: My Social Media Shift

    How do you use social media?

    Hey

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    The use of social media has changed significantly for me in the past couple of years.
    From the outside perspective,
    it would look like a drastic change.

    Earlier I used to spend a lot of time on social media.
    I was just scrolling away from one app to another.
    but,
    these days it’s the polar opposite…

    Any spare time I have is spent jotting down ideas.
    I feel these ideas will hit the right bone,
    or they will help develop my consciousness.
    This will give me a better insight into someone’s life…

    Initially,
    I used it just to chat my time away.
    But
    this social media has helped me meet beautiful souls who aren’t just expressive.
    They are also much better writers than I am.
    Because of social media,
    we managed to connect with each other.

    I would be here writing, editing, and making images just for my social media handles.
    Also, I would also be working on my blog.
    It was like shooting arrows in the dark…

    I still haven’t got used to the type of change it has brought.
    I have had to undergo many changes to become a better version of myself.
    All for the best,
    isn’t it …?

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

    What we see here is an effort to grow from a point where even the mere thought of existence is a threat,
    but here we still are,
    still trying to make the best out of the situation that this life throws us in,
    and just like this bud growing from a crack in the wall,
    this seed has had a life too,
    and,
    I wish to hear his side of the story too…
