What activities do you lose yourself in?
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
Well this day started a bit early as I was up at 7 and writing down a dream that I had about someone passing away and the things that happen as soon as we discover it and we call those who are around us and try to begin things according to our traditions…!
It took me 40 minutes to recollect all of the information and write;
And after penning it all down I got up to go for my morning walk but then my mom came into my room and I told her all the dream and people involved in it…!
And she told me something like that happening in real life and how she saw living proofs of it may time and then the conversation drifted off to a different topic—
Here I am,
Writing this all at 8:21 in the morning and the sunlight is blessing us all…!
Well it’s a common occurrence for me now as I have been penning all of my dream(which I remember…)
As soon as I wake up I grab my phone,
And not scroll anything,
I just open my notes or journal app and pen what I remember in a fast and quick manner and I skip all of the mistakes—
Which I correct later when I am proofreading or I have to upload it somewhere…!
—
I will try my level best to give you a proof this evening about a dream that I had somewhere along this life…!
Coming back to the prompt…
Activities I lose myself in…
I know these times are very difficult;
Once we keep in our perspective attention span of people and how it has deteriorated compared to previous years—
—
When we look at people walking by and they are looking into those screens;
We get into a painful realisation,
That the childhood that we spent once playing,
Getting hurt,
Crying,
Learning to get up yet again and doing it all over—-
Those times are over and everything happens over calls or video calls now;
Or—
You didn’t remember carrying your power bank and the battery in your phone died that’s why you are looking at things around you now…! 😂
But;
A painful realisation comes in,
The devices have controlled us more than we imagine;
They came in these big boxes, those bulky monitors and that cpu unit we once had—
But these days the phones and laptops have turned each and every thing into a something that you can carry everywhere and do everything on the go…!
Well,
For me it’s the same and a bit different simultaneously;
You know you read all of the above 12 maybe 13 lines because I love to lose myself within these words…!
As I begin to think and write about something by dwelling into a world that exists within mind;
And simultaneously trying to explore the readers mind and coming up with some things that might be common with both of ours….!
Another one would be work,
Because I’ve developed love for it over the years,
And the day feels unfulfilling until a major chunk of work isn’t completed;
Well not all days are the same and some days I return home with this unaccomplished feeling that’s hard to shake off—
And when that happens,
There’s nothing more worse than that;
Until I go next day and come back home with a sense of accomplishment…!
Other than those two I love to listen to music and lose myself within that moment…
And love would be an understatement because if it were possible I’d keep an headphone in my ears all the time and not worry about my hearing at all…!
Well this one couldn’t have come at a bad time because I do have my earphones in…!
Well,
It takes me to a world that exists beyond this one as I listen to a wide range going from classical to new school;
Folk to rap,
From Fairuz to Nusrat Fateh Ali khan to Sidhu Moosewala(LLSMW 🕊️)…
It takes me to a world beyond this one and makes me exposes me to their pov and their mindset…!
And if you are still here reading this after-all,
I cannot tell you how we lose ourselves in the arms of our loved ones…
There is nothing that is more soothing than being in the arms of someone who loves you for who you are and time flies away so—
Oh so fast…!
And how the time passed so soon as I’m writing this one—-
It’s now 9:06 and I have to go…😅😂
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍
