  • 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 🥂

    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…

  • Chaos to Clarity: My Writing Journey and Productivity

    Daily writing prompt
    When do you feel most productive?
    View all responses

    Hey

    I hope you all are doing well…!

    The prompt of this day,
    forced me to think the duality of the life I am living…

    One where I manage and run a business,
    another one where I do all of this writing,
    it has been a chaotic mix of feeling thing and tirelessly working my b|_|tt off..

    All of us know that living two lives within these 24 hours isn’t possible but we all have to manage right…?

    The most productive I am during work is the afternoon hours,
    i.e. 12 pm to 3 pm,
    but,
    it’s the exact opposite for this writing between 12 am to 3 am;(IST)

    Waking up early to set things in order,
    and then working on them including this blog,
    and Instagram post before I have to leave for work,
    the fine line between night and day blemishes,
    and for weeks it feels like I haven’t taken a day off,
    but,
    the show must go on…

    So,
    I think you get a gist of the type of broken schedule I live on,
    necessarily the dependent on caffeine is hard and takes a toll on this mind and body too…

    But,
    both parts of my life requires different strengths,
    different capabilities,
    very drastic shifts in focus,
    and,
    with that I need to have a very cool, calm and a composed mind…

    But,
    from the chaos that I’m in,
    generates a world so vivid and well versed,
    that it feels almost surreal..

    And,
    this is the type of blessing I seeked all along,
    to live a vivid, beautiful life with,
    hard work too so i can get a good nights sleep…

    Cheers 🥂

    That’s how I am staring at nothingness some of these days…

  • How Emojis Reflect Our Emotions and Memories

    What are your favorite emojis?

    Hey,
    I hope all of you are doing well!!!

    I guess you’re reading this on a Sunday afternoon or morning (or even late Saturday night,
    to those who just came home after enjoying the weekend…!

    This came to me as such a curveball because i don’t use much of any emojis,
    because these words portray the message that i have in my mind in a crystal clear way;

    On looking at my phone’s emoji section i see some that I have used in the past and I shall give you a roundabout


    😂
    With the absolute saddest resting b face i send this one,
    when something is really hilarious,
    and i feel like i have to show laughter…

    ☕
    The only thing that i live by these days,
    a good cup of coffee/tea that wakes me up and give me a will to live,
    a new one every morning…

    🤍
    Do you ever feel like this,
    what do you think this means to you..?
    To me it feels like the white heart is a meaning of peace and doesn’t carry the same meaning as the red one that gives off any unwanted ideas,
    it signifies absence of disruption,
    and focuses on the essence of self…
    i.e.
    understanding the need to reach stability, before disrupting someone’s…

    😇
    the ever grateful one,
    who feels blessed even in all of the stresses that he endures,
    just because he trusts that his efforts shall be paid off…

    🎗️
    The yellow reminder ribbon
    This one will go with me forever and,


    ITS A REQUEST KEEP THIS ONE TO YOURSELF TOO…
    the significance of yellow reminder ribbon goes beyond life itself,
    it helps you to remember your goals, ideas;
    the thoughts that keep you alive,
    what makes you,
    you;

    Your real version…

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye

    The image that i took with the timestamp on that too..
    Do you ever think how something like a photo can help you relive a memory?
    Also according to me, black and white helps in giving the image a life that is only understood either if you were at the place where the photo was taken or;
    it helps us to have our mind fill in the dark and light shades with the colors that we see fit…?
    isn’t it???

  • A Journey Through Life’s Stories

    Daily writing prompt
    What topics do you like to discuss?
    View all responses

    Hey,
    I hope you all are doing well…!

    Today’s prompt forced me into exploring my notes app and the pad that I carry on me,
    he|| even the conversations I’ve had with people up until this point…


    It was and has been a fever dream of sorts,
    I’ve talked on human psychology (of all age),


    I’ve talked about love,
    pretty vocal about two people meeting and some intimate scenes too,
    (I don’t know if they are safe to upload here…?)

    I’ve talked about addiction (its consequences too…)
    and numerous stories about people finding true love,
    some about losing their better halves,
    and many losing their lives too…

    There were many a things that shaped me into who i am today and i utilize them wholly
    even the little things that i see as I’m driving from or to work…

    But all of this for a cause greater than life itself,
    to provide each and every one of you a version of life that’s unseen from a place that isn’t explored by many,
    even if we all have it,
    what we call our mind…

    It is maybe due to meeting people from so many different fields,
    some being doctors,
    aspirants of government jobs,
    psychology students,
    teachers of high schools,
    businessman/women
    and many more that are skipping my mind…

    All in,
    it has been a journey that is to be remembered forever,
    and it shall be with the type of influence I’ve got from these godsend people…

    Cheers 🥂

    This is the one place where I found myself,
    the essence of self,
    the being that I am today,
    there were a lot of problems that came within the path of reaching this place,
    but when I stood there,
    and took this picture the breathtaking view absorbing all of it in,
    it felt like I found a new love for the things the same things that existed back home…
