When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
It’s a Saturday for me here and I hope you too are blessed to see the light of this day…!
—
Spend some time in sunlight,
Just sit; don’t move or worry about anything,
Just absorb it for maybe 10 minutes…!
—
It’s currently 7:39 in the morning as I’m writing this one…!
—
Nothing much happened yesterday,
It was a usual business day but I had to return earlier to decide on the cards that we have to give to our relatives and those who live around us to invite people to my sister’s wedding…!
—
And after deciding on a raw version of the script I wrote with my sister and mom,
We are on the process of refining it and it will be done today,
And it will be sent for printing…
—
Oh,
The days are getting close,
But so is this voice in my heart that feels sad because she will be going away,
Our chatterbox and source of chaos is going away…!
🥲🥹
(Khair…)
Life it is…!
Coming back to the prompt
My plans for the future when I was five
When I was five I was probably in LKG,
A step above nursery,
Junior kindergarten for those who don’t understand it…!
I was probably learning numbers and alphabets,
Maybe I was reading them on my own with errors,
Filling those books which had big letters and they gave us directions like slanting line, straight line or a line across…!
And I was filling them up chaotically and also messing them up BIG TIME 😂
I think this is the time I was learning to join words and learning about my family or my parents,
Learning basic shapes and concepts of things that helped me be who I am today…!
I hope you recognise what I’m trying to get at…!
I couldn’t get enough of what was happening and I think I wouldn’t even be thinking about my future;
All I would be thinking about is what I am going to do tomorrow when I walk into that class of mine and what is going to be in the lunchbox which I am going to share with my newfound friends…!
I think I’d have in mind to be a teacher because each day we looked upto them and we would’ve been in awe,
Like how she knew so much about things that we were learning…!
Other than that,
I must have been inspired to be a fireman or an artist;
The range goes way beyond this tbh;
We were blank slates,
Pure at hearts,
Waiting to be painted and then presented to the world…
I wouldn’t have given two thoughts about my future but my daily life that would have been a blast let me tell you that,
Meeting friends and messing up while learning;
Can we ever get that back,
Those times back…?!
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍
