  • A habit that helps me live a fulfilling life…!

    A habit that helps me live a fulfilling life…!

    What’s one habit that has improved your life the most?

    11/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    A singular habit that has improved my life a whole lot is writing and penning down my thoughts that I have…!

    Earlier I used to think and think a whole lot about things that I used to observe on the daily, but as soon as I started to pen down this thoughts which came to me,

    No matter how poorly defined they were,

    My mind automatically became a blank slate which would have thoughts which are filled to the brim with feelings and emotions that people can feel if they try to read it…!


    And due to this habit of penning down my thoughts and ideas I can get to places where I haven’t been in this body;

    For example—

    “If I were to imagine a scenario about how loneliness feels once a mother is all alone at home after her S/o has passed away and all of the kids have gone to start their own lives”

    Now even if I were to think about the scenario first you would think it would be impossible for me because I don’t have the same gender so I cannot feel what goes on in her mind,

    But,

    For that in my mind;

    I start to play myself in her role and when the role feels normal to me I put this character through hardship,

    “Like the loneliness and how the empty wall feels and how her mind plays fragments from the past on how she used to take care of her kids and how she used to sit with her husband and drink tea while it was pouring outside…!”


    Just imagining little details here and there gives me a general idea where it aches and how it is supposed ro feel and where is it supposed to feel…!


    And after getting a general idea,

    I begin writing it all…!


    This thinking critically and going in depth to understand how and why things happen has given me an edge and perspective into many lives and roles people play…!


    And due to this all of my life has come along with it,

    Like when I’m done writing I clean my room and make my bed and after doing that I leave for work….

    And that has given my life a fixed path on which it moves each day,

    Giving me a sense of direction and a purpose to live this life—

    To the fullest…!


    I hope you too have a habit that has an impact to improve your whole life…!

  • Three chapters that shattered the veil of reality for Waakiye;

    Three chapters that shattered the veil of reality for Waakiye;

    What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    There are three chapters that I’d call the hard years of my life and I’d like to share it with all of you and the reason behind it too…!


    First would be the year I was forced to quit all of my dreams to join our family business…!

    It was the year 2018 and I was preparing myself for the yearly exams of my B.com course from School of open learning…!

    And my father decided it was my time to quit funding my education and I was forced into work and the first two years I basically killed myself forcing to learn the work that I didn’t study or train for…!

    And thinking back about it I kept my head down and worked hard and I didn’t got paid for two whole years because they thought it was a better way to help me learn the skill…!

    Yes I was fed and I could go anywhere on my day off but,

    Imagine hiring your kid at work and not paying them and telling them to work without pay…!


    (Khair..)


    The second chapter that impacted my life a whole lot would be the 2020 lockdown…!

    It ruined all of ours mental peace and well being of which we still face repercussions of to this day;

    I know we do;

    Children glued to phones not eating or drinking without it and the things we did just to kill time…!

    Let’s not forget the everlasting effects of vaccines that made our lives miserable;

    I know people who suffered tremendously after the shot and they still feel things like night tremors, depression, and many other symptoms that they didn’t feel before but do now…!


    The third time would be when the tragedy happened right at home;

    It was when my father passed away…!

    It would be three years this September and we miss him in our hearts and minds each day…!

    All of the things happened in a single year;

    Terminal intestinal cancer and I was given less and less of a chance of survival;

    A year max and countless hospital visits that made our lives miserable…!

    The thing that broke me the most is something that he did the day before and I hope I don’t have to tell that to anyone but my eyes seem to tear up every time I remember him in that situation…!


    Yup,

    No one said this life was easy and neither was mine…!

    But I do hope when I see a stranger that their life is a bit easier than mine…!


    To loved ones who departed before us,

    One day we will meet again and share how it was for us to be endure and face the world all alone without their support…!


    Cheers 🥂

  • Instances that deserve sequels…!

    Instances that deserve sequels…!

    What’s a book you think deserves a sequel?

    09/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I know the world read a lot of books and each day there are many books that are added in various forms into this world..!

    It can be in the form of an e book or some another chapter added on Wattpad or it can be a physical form of a book that you yourself gave to the bookseller to sell by putting it on the shelves or paid a publication house to pick up all of the load…;


    All of us live a life that can be portrayed in the form of a story,

    And when we talk to someone who loves to write and can bring out your life into a form of a book or a short story;

    That piece of text has the power to become a life lesson or even somewhat of a help when the right person reads it and finds a way out…!

    And when such scenario happens, the goal of the writer and the person who endured it becomes complete…!


    There are many books that leave us on a cliffhanger and force us to imagine it all using our own mind and thought process which differ from person to person;

    For those books which leave us in more shadows that they began with I definitely think they deserve a sequel which answers questions that haven’t been answered in the last one,

    Just so that we readers can sleep peacefully at night…!

    No other reason 😂😂


    Then there are some books which change us after we go through them, and with each passage we learn and adapt;

    Sometimes there is shock,

    Sometimes there are tears,

    Almost all of the time we walk away changed when we witness love or anger or frustration of a character intensify when something happens to the character they love or adore or hate…!

    These books don’t deserve a sequel because they on their own are fulfilling and in a way help us to be better…!


    And the books whose author/authoress have passed away—

    They shouldn’t be touched ever…!

    If someone tries to make an edit or change the outcome or come up with a sequel that downplays the previous books;

    It doesn’t deserve a sequel ever…!


    These are some of the instances that I think deserve/not deserve a sequel…!


    Some books do deserve a sequel by Waakiye 09/07/2026

  • How your path to success defines your legacy…!

    How your path to success defines your legacy…!

    What villain actually had a good point?

    08/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Well,

    This prompt is a good one and focuses on how a bad character can have good intentions even if their actions put them on a bad path according to all of us neutral viewers…!


    For example

    Thanos from Avengers had pure intentions with a single motive to reduce the population and the way we plunder the fast depleting resources each and every day…!

    His end goal was right but the path leading to it was based on eradicating half of the population…!


    Another one would be

    Mr. Edward Snowden

    I’m pretty sure you’ve heard the name and if you haven’t you need to come out of the rock that you’re living;

    A former NSA intelligence contractor who brought out to the world how America tracked people all over the world I.e. their global surveillance network and he revealed other classified documents like tracking millions of people on the daily and without disclosing that they are being tracked…!

    With right intentions he wanted to bring this to the world but the organisations consider his actions wrong and even something that they would charge him with backstabbing the entire nation the reason for exile in Russia…!


    Even if your end goal is something that helps bring down a tyrant or a government that sits and presses the common public..!

    Your path decides how the world will perceive it…!

    And if it is a negative one, your whole life or your entire legacy will be remembered by how you chose to fight by choosing a bad path even if your intentions were pure…!


    That’s why it’s said that your path to success matters as much as the success;

    You can be successful by peddling or selling substances that harm people around you but when people view your life or your riches they will point out that the path to your success was paved by the life of people who were helpless enough to consume substances that you sold…!


    The path towards the goal matters as much as the final aim that you want to achieve…!

  • To my forefathers birthplace: Panjab

    To my forefathers birthplace: Panjab

    If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

    07/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I know this might sound primitive to all of you but I’d like to be born in Panjab…!

    Before it was stricken by drugs and such an epidemic of violence and ego boost that people have there…!


    I’d love to wake up with the verses of Gurugranth sahib ji that come to my ear first thing in the morning…!

    And I’d love to wake up early and tend to animals that we have on our property from which we get milk even if it for our own consumption or selling it to the neighbours…!


    After the morning routine I’d get to go around with my friends that live around our home and go with them to shop for essentials to shops that are a few kilometres away…!

    While we are going to the urban area that has shops we would take a detour to our lands and watch the crops that are growing and after roaming through and checking out if there is some problem or not we would leave for the urban area…!


    After leaving our agricultural land we would reach the shops and buy things that would help our daily lives,

    And we would get a call to get some other things like seeds or fertiliser for our land which would extend our time spent there…!

    After getting all the essentials we would grab a bite to eat and check out some electronics item like add on to our Royal Enfield bullet or some new lights for our splendor…!


    It would take us a few hours and by the time we would return—It would almost be evening and after dropping my friend off to his home I’d reach mine and by the time we would clean up, take a shower and get ready we would get a call that some of our friends were getting together and planning on drinking in the evening…!


    So we would reach the decided place which would be our friend’s motor(An open area right next to the field where people can sit and rest)

    Where we would celebrate life and drink together and be happy…!

    And we would return home by night after eating and drinking and we would get in our beds and the same life would start over again…!


    A life like this is nowhere to be found,

    But Panjab…!


    If you’re asking why would I not want to step out of our country’s borders;

    It’s because I’d much rather spend another life being born in Panjab instead of any other place where people live with a sense of responsibility and respect for others…!


    To our wonderful Panjab and its heritage that keeps on extending beyond our lifetimes…!

  • Importance of chaos in life…!

    Importance of chaos in life…!

    Is a little chaos actually good for us?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Yes, Yes

    God yes it’s important to have some chaos in life…!


    Because without chaos life feel monotonous,

    If you ask me,

    My sister was the source of my chaos and now that she has been married off the life feels very stagnant and the line blemishes between day and night…!


    She came here last night and it felt like the chaos returned with her and I don’t have to actively seek chaos anymore…!

    😂😂😂


    (Khair)

    She’s lovely and she has evolved into a lovely daughter in law and I hope a great wife for my brother in law…!

    But,

    She can behave how we were before and that switch flips instantly as she comes here or sees me…!


    Other than that,

    Some chaos like getting late or even getting into some problems make us realise the importance of neutral energy even more,

    Otherwise we take our normal life for granted…!


    Well we cannot talk about chaos and forget about our loved one and how there are certain things that they do which makes our nerves tingle and want us to snap at them…!

    But,

    The same fades and hurts us when there is nothing going or we are away from them…!

    We miss that chaos and how that chaos makes us love them even more…!


    Let’s not talk about kids,

    It’s like they came with a mission to make this life as chaotic as possible and only after they cause a boatload of chaos they feel their daily tasks are over…!

    But,

    Try to look at this world from their perspective…!

    It’s their first time living life and they are learning how and what it feels to be and it shapes them into who they are or who they will be in life…!


    And if you have a pet,

    Forget that you can even have a life that is easy and without chaos because they are unpredictable being sent to us by gods to take all our pains and sadness away…!


    So endure some chaos every now and then;

    And then see how even neutral times feels like blessings…!


    Happy Monday..!

  • Being a blogger who goes against the flow..!

    Being a blogger who goes against the flow..!

    Who is your favorite blogger to follow?

    05/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    The path of blogging and being a blogger is something that still feels foreign to me..!

    Because all of the bloggers who are prominent and influential bloggers push to earning a lot of money this way…!

    They talk about earning and selling how to get money out of each thing by selling courses and e-books that help them get more and more money out of the readers…!


    I know it feels like that is what we are supposed to do once people latch on—

    But being in the spam section of someone is not what I want…!

    Nor is being someone who coerces the readers to buy their books in which they teach how to earn quick money or the first 1000 dollars…!


    But,

    None of them teach about following passion and actively help you to develope into a better blogger or helping you in such a way that helps you grow as a person…!


    Pushing towards earning money and using gpt to make content and making it go viral is something that all of them teach…!


    When it comes to following passion or being someone who writes because they want to leave a legacy I haven’t found someone like that up until now..!


    And that’s where I come in…!

    Not using gpt and not making money from this and doing this all out of love is something that I do,

    Because I already am content with what I earn from my day job..!


    Happy Sunday and I hope you clean your room today..!

    Do go out for a walk and I hope you feel better for the upcoming week..!


    Cheers 🥂

  • A dream where I had our baby…

    A dream where I had our baby…

    I know I will never be able to meet you,
    But I hope this piece of text does…!

    ———

    I had a dream where we had a baby,
    Our baby…!

    It was a girl and she had your honey brown eyes;

    You were supposed to return home at six like you usually did,
    and,
    it was fifteen minutes past five when I saw the the time on the wall clock you brought for our room…!

    She was so little and as I picked her up she had a familiar fragrance,
    It was yours…!

    Her smile reminded me of the time when we used to be happy together;

    She had my wheatish color and a skinny body,
    unlike yours she had the same structure I had when I was born;

    I remember staring at her for a while and taking in all her features—
    Until she started crying…!

    I distinctly remember feeding her,
    As she tugged to my nipple and began drinking,
    Meanwhile all I could do was adore how cute,
    How beautiful she was;

    Or,

    Stare at the clock on the wall in front;

    Or,

    shift on the bed and catch a glimpse of the main door from where you’d walk in…!

    It was 5:35 on the clock and I changed my side and she latched onto my other nipple…!

    She had little hair on her head and her body was still developing into a healthy one,
    As she drank my milk…!

    Before I could look up at the clock,
    it was 5:45 and she let go of;

    I picked her up,
    placed her in my arms and gently tapped her back,
    So that she would burp…!

    I heard a few burps and I knew she was feeling sleepy as i felt her head bobbling;

    It was 5:55 and I couldn’t wait anymore,
    I know you were about to walk through those doors anytime now;

    I looked at her and she was on the brink of falling asleep,
    So I put her in the pink cot and began cleaning our bedroom…!

    I couldn’t wait anymore as the clock was about to strike 6 and I’d rush to the door,
    Open it and would get into your embrace and talk all about my day…!

    But,
    Before the clock struck six,
    It felt like I fell;

    I fell from that dreamland back into the reality that I lived in…!

    I was back into the room of my rented apartment and the clock was about to strike 6;

    Six in the morning as the alarm clock blared for a few seconds and it woke me up from such a pristine dream where I finally found love and affection that I seeked all my life…!

    I woke up in that pitch black room;

    So far away from my dream that I cried;

    I cried for fifteen minutes straight and another alarm set for 6:15 blared again…!

    So I woke up,
    Walked into the bathroom and stared into the mirror;

    Stared and saw who I really was!

    I really was “Far”;

    Far—
    Far away from my dreams,
    And,
    He was nowhere near me anymore…!

    A dream that a girl told me she had about someone who she deeply loved and cared about;

    But—

    They weren’t able to meet and live this life together; Now they’re ways apart from each other;


    All that remains is hope,

    A hope that continues to live in this dreamland and takes her back to the times where they were truly in love…!

  • Challenging yourself when you start from scratch…!

    Challenging yourself when you start from scratch…!

    Hit 5,000 steps today and drop your achievement here — we’re cheering you on!

    02/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    5000 steps might be achievement worthy to someone who has started working out after a while or it might be a starting goal for someone who is starting a fresh after skipping their routine;

    But for me I easily reach the five thousand step mark as my work requires me to be on my feet all day…!


    Walking to and from one lathe machine to another and checking up on the other machine and making sure if the material coming out of it is of appropriate size and then coming back and resuming my job…!


    If your job demands that you sit in a cubicle and work your rear off for 8+hours,

    I’d advise you to change some habits like getting up and walking for even 30 seconds or a minute if possible every 45 minutes…!

    This way you can reach the goal faster and start a change that will lead towards a better health…!

    Only if you keep it up each day,

    Along with changing other destructive habits…!


    Well,

    I guess this is where the prompt ends today…!

    But,

    I do cheer on someone who is making efforts of starting things from scratch;

    I know it requires sheer dedication and a lot of patience and commitment which in itself is cheer worthy…!


    So,

    Keep on and hit the 5000 step mark today…!

    A stranger from this side of the world believes in you…!

  • Dealing with negative thoughts that loom over our head..!

    Dealing with negative thoughts that loom over our head..!

    What’s the best way to deal with negative thoughts?

    01/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hi…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    You won’t believe but the world is filled with negativity and negative thoughts all around…!

    And,

    The moment you understand that your life will be neutral with occasional disruptions that go in the both positive and negative directions…!


    Even I have thoughts that are negative and pull me in a direction that I don’t want to swing towards…!

    These vary from saying something bad about someone to doing something that might be against the well being of another person…!

    But,

    These things go hand in hand with how you handle yourself and bring your conscience back from these self destructive paths..!


    Each and every one of us has negative thoughts and how we deal with them makes us different from each other…!


    How do I deal with them…?

    I usually think about the negative thoughts and try to get to the root of the problem and try to solve by thinking how I can stop this from growing into a big problem;

    For example when I feel too much about how things around me are going on and how negatively they are affecting me,

    I try to stop fighting around,

    And sit still,

    And think on how things around me are affecting me and what measures I can take which range from

    Going out on a walk,

    talking to a friend,

    playing with my pet dog,

    Even listening to music which helps me so much by shifting my focus away from whatever negative goes on in my mind…!


    Earlier I used to be on a destructive path of drinking my pain and sadness away but those days are long gone and I’m happy for myself to be a better person who changed his ways and wants to better himself…!


    I think there are different ways in which everyone deals with negative thoughts;

    Is there some way you deal with these negative thoughts…?

    Do mention them in the comments box and I will be ready to reply..!


    Before going I want to bring you something⬇️

    My mom asked me a dangerous question—

    Will I ever be able to meet dad in the afterlife and how complex is this life is and how we(all four of us) were bound to come to this life together and only the almighty knows how long we are bound together…?!
