Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…
This is something that one needs to ask themselves,
no matter how or where they stand in life,
Maybe they are not doing so well financially,
Maybe they are not at the age where they can choose between family and their career,
Maybe they need to explore themselves more before sharing them with someone else,
OR,
Maybe they feel like having a presence mean that their peace will be bothered,
and they are not ready yet to be a part of something that world wants,
pushes them to be…
There’s an extreme duality in this question if you’d believe me ;
You can ask this question,
this exact same question to someone who comes from extreme poverty,
and you will get two answers to this one,
One,
the older generation who has been through this and feels just wants their immediate needs met,
they think if they can afford food this day,
or two square meals a day,
because that’s how they believe it is,
if they can attain food for the day,
they have earned their keep,
they have had it all for the day…
On the contrary,
they younger generation,
they won’t stop,
they will use any means or methods,
to achieve what they have planned,
even if it means,
getting home late,
using any way to achieve what they want,
no matter how legal or illegal…
What is that mindset that can be satisfied by achieving one goal..?
I have planned another goal after this one,
and another one after that…
that’s how growth happens,
you just keep hitting a spot,
once and keep at it again and again,
until you become a master at it,
the process that takes years,
entire lifetime maybe,
BUT,
keeping at it matters…
As for me,
I can never have it all,
having it all means death of wishes and wants for me,
but that happens when you believe that you’ve got it all,
If there’s an empty space that keeps pushing,
forcing you for strive for better results,
forever,
that means you’ll never get tired to work hard,
even if it takes a form of inspiration to be a better daughter/son,
father/mother, brother/sister,
or a friend too…
Its only attainable,
If you believe you’ve achieved the goal first,
and that too 100% of it,
which is already set to max difficulty pushing you above and beyond…
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍
a family,
a family that I call mine,
hosting the birthday party,
a child that was welcomed this day,
a few years back,
a family,
a family I call mine…
As I sat in my car,
waiting as the stresses of the world grabbed me by the throat,
I had to leave them in my car,
or,
at the workplace,
where I got it all from,
but,
this day,
this day I was handed more,
more than what I could handle,
and almost forgot all about this,
all about the birth of my own child…
As I looked from afar…
I wish I could’ve come home earlier,
planned it with them,
be a part of process that makes it all happen,
But,
something at makes it all happens,
the finances that back it all,
they wouldn’t have been arranged,
if I were,
if I came home earlier…
As I looked from afar,
a family,
a family that I call mine…
Waakiye
