    Hey

    I hope you all are doing well…!

    There are a few sentences that i live by,
    they aren’t necessarily quotes,
    but they’re self-drawn rules that I live by,
    Well,
    I think each and every one of us should have some,
    rules or something that helps you set,
    what is right or wrong,
    in a situation…

    Quotes are those who are written by a writer and such,
    and when you are one in the making,
    what’s better than looking at something that you wrote,
    to keep yourself in check,
    during times that you thought would be the end of you…

    The said quote(s)…

    1)

    THE FALL TAUGHT ME TO GET UP AND MOVE FORWARD,

    IT DIDN’T TELL ME TO STOP AND SIT DOWN,

    IT TOLD ME THE REASON FOR THE FALL,

    AND I DIDN’T STOP LEARNING,

    NOR I’M STOPPING,

    DIDN’T STOP YESTERDAY,

    WILL NOT STOP TODAY,

    WONT STOP TOMORROW,

    BECAUSE,

    I DIDN’T STOP LEARNING…

    ★Didn’t stop learning★

    ✅CAN THUG MY WAY OUT OF THIS ONE, SO

    I WON’T CRASH OUT

    These two are the ones I often check out,
    there are more but those are some other ideas,
    prompting some other feelings…

    For the time being,
    you can read them,
    save them,
    make them your quotes too…

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

  • Can We Unwind After a Long Day? Understanding the Need

    Daily writing prompt
    How do you unwind after a demanding day?
    View all responses

    Hey,
    how are you guys doing?
    i hope all of you are doing well…

    Do you ever wonder why we feel an urge to unwind,
    why are we so overworked,
    why do we feel dead when we return home,
    indulge in some vices, eat and then fall asleep…?

    Thats what the essence of us humans have been reduced to..?

    I’m talking from experience I get up around 7 and do my morning routine, and when i look up its around time to leave for work,
    tripping over things in a rush i get ready and leave for work,
    where i endlessly tire myself for 10+ hours 6 days a week…

    I mean if that’s what i have to do to earn my keep i shall do it till the end of time or the end of me…

    But,
    the unwinding from the day’s stresses has a lot of meaning for me,
    somedays i just open a bottle of liquor,
    somedays its just me taking a scenic route back home,
    somedays its just having a cup of tea/coffee from the place that i am a frequent of,
    somedays i just talk to my friend and make plans for the day off that coincides with our plans,
    somedays i just watch come serial/movie that piques my interest,
    somedays it’s just taking pictures of things that bring peace to me..

    Somedays it just me rotting in bed scrolling through a bunch of apps endlessly like the life that i live in,
    and that brings me no happiness at all,
    it’s something that i do till my eyes shut down on their own…

    You know proper unwinding is only when you feel refreshed from the last day’s chaos,
    but that hasn’t happened in so long that it feels like a foreign concept,
    nothing that I could ever achieve…

    To the life that is remaining which shall be spent chasing things that bring peace…

    Cheers 🥂

    An image that exists on a day that was so tiring that it almost took my life, as I was driving back home I saw these exact colors and hues, so I stopped and took a pic to remember this day and end it on a higher note…
