Day 80: 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: Awakening - My friend @awakentolife

in freewrite •  7 years ago  (edited)

The first thing that pops into my mind when I see the word prompt... Well, it's better to say the first person who pops into my head with this prompt is @awakentolife. Yes. I have known Duro back in the Tsu days. But frankly speaking, I am not a big fan of Duro back then. Sorry Duro, but that's history. It's not like I don't like you. Just that I am not into gym and sports. LOL. And these two things are your favourite. When we move over to Steemit, I started to follow you and get to know you more. From your Steemit post and in our wow group. Most of your posts are really long, and your comments too. Long and meaningful and always makes me think. It's really good. Always motivational and inspirational. Glad to have a friend like you. And reading about your journey, your family and your career. Sometimes your posts and comments really "hit" me spot on. Just when I needed some advice or a confirmation, you will be posting something which seems like meant to talk to me. Thanks again! And wish you all the best in everything!

You are like the lotus flower. Shining through with bright positivity and love awesome energy! Even though we may not be closely keeping in touch, but we will always be friends! The flowers were captured with my Redmi 4x at Kuala Perlis.

This was made by Halley @halleyleow last year. A paper quilling heart.

If you know nothing about this cool 5-Minute Freewrite Daily Challenge, you should check out @mariannewest's introduction post to this cool challenge by @mariannewest and @improv.

And as usual, I love to take this freewrite challenge together with the most dangerous writing app . Just set the timer for 5 minutes, and then just write. ALERT! Don't stop and think for more than 3 seconds! WHY? Coz if you stop typing for 3 seconds, all your words will vanish! YES, everything you have typed will be gone.

If you like the idea of CREATE and EARN (just like here in Steemit), then do you know that everyday while we connect with our family and friends through chatting, texting, voice and video calling, we can EARN from that too?

You should have seen my first freewrite... using the most dangerous writing app... it's a disaster... everytime I read it, I will end up laughing...

Haha.. Okay.

What a great freewrite and amazing how you connected the prompt with Đuro!
To be honest, I think I even skipped that prompt because I had no idea what to write about. Shame on me! 😌

  ·  7 years ago 

Nothing to be shame on... I have skipped quite a lot of the prompts recently... And I think this is my first freewrite of 2018. And it turns out to be a grateful lovely shoutout post... Maybe this is a sign... I should be more grateful to my friends around me... Thank you to you too Ana! With love and hugs!💕💖 💓 💗 ♨️

Day 80?? Wow.... i so horrible at keeping up with a daily task but this year my goal it to follow thru lol

  ·  7 years ago 

I have missed out a lot... I started my first freewrite 2 months ago... with the shoe prompt... All the best to you in following through this year! 💕💖 💓 💗 ♨️

I enjoyed reading this free write because it reminded me of my relationship with some of my friends. We may not be as close but they're always there to talk and help!

  ·  7 years ago 

Thank you! We are all blessed with awesome friends...💕💖 💓 💗 ♨️

This really is an appreciation freewrite! Your friend awakentolife should feel honored!
Today's prompt: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-81-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-i-floss-my-tears

  ·  7 years ago 

Thank you. I think @awakentolife is on the road now... so he may not have seen this yet... I am glad to have a friend like him!
Thanks for the next prompt... I am not sure yet what to write for this day 81...

wow! that's a really cool challenge. hopefully I'll be up for it one day. :)

I think @awakentolife is an awesome guy as well. he always leaves sincere comments and has a really good perspective of life. and yes. he's into definitely into gym and sports but recently been pretty philosophical as well. did you know that he has like 150 original quotes? Aristotle much. :)

  ·  7 years ago 

The challenge is a daily challenge... everyday you will get a prompt... don't think and just write... You should see my first freewrite with the most dangerous writing app... LOL... The good thing about this freewrite challenge is, actually everyone of us can write, just that most of us don't know what to write, so with the daily prompt, we just write whatever pops into our mind (well, this is me lah... there's a lot of other good freewrite writer, they really come up with awesome storyline)...
I know he has lots of original quotes, but I didn't know he has 150...

I'm worried about the outcome that's all. but it definitely is a good exercise. will follow the page you linked so I can get to prompt right? :) will definitely give it a try soon!

  ·  7 years ago 

I normally will go directly to @mariannewest's page for the prompt. After I write my post, I will drop a link as a comment on her prompt post.

alright! will give it a try soon. anything I'll just bug you on discord? 😄

  ·  7 years ago

Great to have friends! Thank you for dropping by!
Yup, coz freewrite is an awesome challenge!

I am wondering how many out there are using The Most Dangerous App to write the free write? lol.

"Not I" said the fly.
"Not me," said the flea.

  ·  7 years ago 

Me myself and I.... 🤣😃😄😉

"Not us," said the abacus.
"Not we," said the other flea.

  ·  7 years ago

Aiya. too fast dy. haha. edited.

What a great tribute to a friend!!

  ·  7 years ago 

It's a good prompt... :D
Thanks!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

That’s a pretty cool idea. Don’t think just write! Do they provide different prompt topics daily or is it just whatever that pops up in your head?

  ·  7 years ago 

@mariannewest will provide the prompt daily. Just visit her page and look for her prompt post.

Thank you!

Wow wow wow.. First, @enchangedspirit wrote a comment which made me tear up the other and now I come upon this post. How did I miss this post?

Are you girls working together to make a 6"7ft Croatian cry? lol There is some kind of conspiracy going on here. :)

What to say really, Eliza? The support I am getting from this platform is incredible. Not in a million years, I would off imagined I would meet so many amazing people like you when I joined Steemit. It is overwhelming and inspirational at the same time. The acceptance I feel from you guys is just incredible. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by people like you on Steemit. The comments you leave me inspire me even more than I try to inspire you with my comments and posts. Trust me even more. It is not even close.

I truly believe one amazing inspirational comment or words can change people's lives and make their days better. That is what my intent is in every single comment and post I write. When you speak from the heart people take notice. And, that is the "secret" of my writing. Plus, life has taken me a lot of places, and even I am 29 years old, I have a lot to share. What we say and write as comments, or in our posts can inspire people to do amazing things. And, sometimes we don't even know about it, until like you somebody writes a post likes this. We affect people lives every day. So why not affect them for the better? :)

So you did not like me at TSU? I mean you didn't like fitness much :) Now what does this tell me about you here on Steemit? It tells me you are kind of person who gives people second chances. Because you could off just not read any of my posts based on previous experience on TSU. I am glad you gave me another chance and opened my posts and read them. It takes a person with a good heart to do so. And, I am glad you did. :)

Thank you for writing such an amazing and inspirational post. You are amazing and you inspire me to keep writing and keep sharing my thoughts. I wish someday people will support each other all around the world like we support each other here. The sky would not be the limit. :)

Have the best day ever, sending you much love from Italy. :) @elizacheng

P.S. - when I start my fitness posts, I will make you love exercising. lol Or that is a really long shot. But, I will give it a try. :)

  ·  7 years ago 

Wow!!! This is the longest and sweetest ever comment I have ever received in my "social media posting life"... Yes, we don't know who and how many being affected by what we wrote, therefore, it's important for us to write good quality content and yes, totally agree with you, write with our heart. If we will be affecting people, let's affect them for the better!
Have a great day! With love and hugs from Malaysia... :D
💕💖 💓 💗 ♨️
p/s: LOL... I know I have to exercise... for the good of my health... I will try my very best to go into exercise... but please don't ask me to go to a gym... (yet... I dunno why, just that I am not prepared... who knows maybe in the near future I will love the gym...)

Thank you for a such an amazing post written about me. It deserved a long post-comment I wrote. Even though I stopped myself from writing more. Your words inspired me so much and I had a lot to say about it. So I do apologize for going little overboard. :) lol

So I am going to keep this one "short". lol Let's just keep inspiring and making lives better for others with our words and comments. :)

I will not tell you to go the gym because you can do everything at home with little equipment, or none. All you need is a bit of motivation to start. Exercise it sure is great. It helps your body clean itself of toxins and so much more. So little home exercise 2-3 one-hour sessions a week can do wonders for your well-being. So I will not push you hard to start exercising until I push you HARD. lol I mean tie you up and drag you for training type of stuf.. lololol jk

P.S. - so much for the short comment talk.. lol

  ·  7 years ago 

Please don't let me stop you from commenting the way you use to comment. It's a pleasure reading your super long comments.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

This was a great freewrite, something a little different as I usually only read fiction ;)

It was sweet reading this shout out to a friend. Though I know neither of you, it brightened my day just knowing someone was expressing such kind sentiments for another. I found your link over at the Isle of Write Discord server and hope to see you there sometime!

  ·  7 years ago 

Oh... Thank you! I am not really a good writer, can't really write fiction. I just write whatever story pop up into my mind with @mariannewest's prompt.
I am not much of a chatter... but I will try my best to be "active" in the discord...

Taking five minutes a day to gift to a friend is an idea we could all use more of in our lives. A great idea. Doesn't have to be a post, but a comment, or a phone-call, or what have you. Definitely an idea to embrace.

Especially in friendships where it's so easy to always wait for the other side to make contact, and that's how friendships end, with a whisper, not with a bang.
