Okay? Okay. By Dee Kay & Roy
Okay? Okay.
By Dee Kay & Roy
“I don’t know what love is, to be honest, but the thing is that when I speak to you I feel as if all the shattered pieces of my soul are finally started to mend. When I listen to you laughing at my silly jokes I feel as if my life has some meaning again. I know I haven’t talked much about my past, at least not in detail, but I know that when I talk to you I don’t think about the past but about the future. A future where I have you by my side. A future where I hold your hands through thick and thin. I don’t know what love is but I do know that when I speak to you I don’t have lie about being happy because YOU make me happy”
The message was finally delivered to her WhatsApp. She was busy with her office work so she ignored her phone completely. He just waited for her to acknowledge the message, unfortunately, she was a bit too busy to have the time to notice her phone. Multiple thoughts started crossing his mind as he kept on waiting for the ticks to turn blue. The new technological ways to express the love made the classic old love letters jealous. The world has changed a lot yet some feelings are still same; like LOVE.
“She must be busy with her work”, he thought.
“Or maybe she just saw the first line in the notification and got scared”, his mind started playing a rally of anxious and negative thoughts.
“I should call her up”
“I should just say sorry”
“I just messed up everything”, he was getting really worked up as his mind was being stormed by all kind of thoughts, varying from she saying yes to she brutally ending their friendship too.
“Let’s just calm down and wait for her to reply”, he finally made up his mind as he tried to stop the chaos in his mind.
Waiting while you just spoke your heart is like falling out of a plane while doing skydiving. Your body is experiencing the adrenaline rush but in a small corner of your brain, you still have that doubt whether you’ll make it or not. He, right now, just took the most excitingly scary fall of his life as he began his descend i.e fall in love. He had a nervous smile on his face as he kept on reading the message he sent again and again while his brain worked on coming up with something better than what he had sent.
The ticks did not turn blue even after an hour. His mind was now trying really hard not to think about it. He was getting anxious about the whole scenario. One part of his head was on the verge of giving up completely, whereas the other part still had some hope somewhere. He started listening to his favorite songs just to calm his nerves. From being a guy who would always be listening to some or the other hip hop songs; he now had few new favorites, soft soulful Hindi songs. He had started downloading such songs not because he always loved them but mainly because she use to ask him to send her those songs and now all these songs remind him of her.
His nerves started calming down as one of her favorite songs started playing. The moment the new tune made its way through his headphones to his ears; his mind started daydreaming about them being together. Songs after songs the daydreaming continued. His face had a huge smile. The eyes closed to feel those dreams. His mind was lost in the cosmos of his perfect dreams. A couple of hours passed by as he to check his Whatsapp occasionally. Still no blue ticks and all his perfect dreams started getting darker and darker. He just kept staring at her pic and her status which read, “At work”. His heart was getting heavy with each passing moment.
All of a sudden she came online. He had a sigh of relief but it soon turned into a scenario of mix emotions. His heart started beating fast, his palms started to sweat as he finally saw the ticks turn blue. He nervously waited for her to complete reading the message. Finally she started typing. His heart started racing while his face started to turn red, his breathing getting faster and faster, his body feeling an uneasy warmth that made him sweat; and his mind blank. The typing continued for quite a long time and then finally the phone beeped.
She: “Okay”
He was confused as to what does this okay means but more than that he was actually disappointed as she didn’t say anything except giving him a one-word answer. All the excitement and all the smiles were gone. His heart was still racing against an imaginary friend but deep down it was sinking in the dark emotions of rejection so his mind finally said, Nothing hurts more than love. He summoned all of his courage to type,
He: “What okay?”
She: “Okay that you don’t know what love is. Okay that we haven’t talked about your past in detail. Okay that you think about the future. Okay that you love me.”
He read the message a couple of times trying to decipher what it actually meant. His mind being a positively charged thing was usually inclined to attract the negative things more so he just thought that he was being rejected and she didn’t want to hurt him so badly so she is just saying it like this.
He: “Okay, I get it you don’t love me but you could have said it straight because no matter how you say it, it will always hurt. I’m sorry if I hurt you somehow by expressing my feelings.
I need some time alone so I’ll switch off my phone. The moment I will feel better I’ll come back.
Bye dove”
He sent it and immediately the ticks turned blue so he just switched off his phone before she could reply as he didn’t want her to explain anything nor does he wanted her to give him sympathy. He just sat in his empty room, blank. The mind had nothing to say but the heartache had to be felt. His eyes started pouring out his emotions as his tears after tears began to roll down.
“She doesn’t love me”, he cried out loud.
“It’s just because I am not so good. I’m not earning. I don’t have definite plans in my life. I am just a bloody loser who has nothing good in him. All I do is write and write all day in all day out.”, he let out the agony of his heart.
That evening he just stayed locked in his room doing nothing, not even writing. He spoke to no one about it. He didn’t turn his phone on. He had no reason to do so either. He just lied on his bed as the outside world was being engulfed by the darkness.
The moonlight began to come inside his room through the windows. He looked at towards the window and immediately the moonlight reminded him of her. His heart was in pain but his mind was being sensible again.
“I shouldn’t make her feel bad. It’s my feelings and I should learn to handle it instead of making her feel guilty”, he thought as he finally switched on his phone.
The net instantly connected and messages after messages came on his WhatsApp.
She: “Arre baba listen to me”
She: “Please listen to me before you go”
She: “You seriously switched off your number”
She: “Okay then just message me when you switch on your phone”
She: “Its been 6 hours now please switch on the phone”
She: “Fine don’t switch on”
She: “My favorite writer,
I know you’re in deep agony because of me so I’ll start by saying sorry.
You have been the reason of happiness lately. You pamper me with your creative whenever I feel low. You make me feel special by writing those rhymes for me. You make me believe in love through your stories. Yes, even I don’t know what love is just like you.
But I know that I’m not OKAY without you. I know I’m not OKAY when you are away. I know that you’re the only OKAY thing I want in my life. I won’t say I LOVE YOU because we both don’t know what love is but
You’re OKAY for me.
Okay ?”
He read it again and again as the tears of pain were turning into tears of joy. His smile was never so wider. His heart was never so happy. His mind was never so peaceful. His soul was never so complete. He finally messaged her.
He: OKAY love!

Morning Motivation #65

YOU ARE MORE THAN YOUR FAILURES
There is none in this world who have never failed in life. Some failed in exams, some to make it big in their career of choice, some in relationships, and some in other aspects of life but the main thing to take away is that we have all experienced failure at one point or the other in our lives.
YOU ARE MORE THAN YOUR FEARS
We have been constantly educated about the things we should not do in life by our friends or family because of some or other fear. Be it the fear of failure, fear of rejection, even fear of success, or other type of fears. These fears accumulate to add so much anxiety and stress that many don’t even take the first step to pursue their destiny.
YOU ARE MORE THAN THE WORLD BELIEVES YOU ARE….
The world has more than often pulled people down before they could achieve their goals. It is because they FEAR YOUR ABILITY TO BE MORE THAN THEIR DEFINITION OF YOU. There is many who have been told that they amount to nothing yet they have achieved greater things because they didn’t believe what the world threw at them rather they became more than they were allowed by the world by their sheer hardwork and trust in their ability.
So what is stopping YOU?
NOW GO BE YOUR OWN HERO.
BE EPIC

Rise from Ashes By Dee Kay
Rise from Ashes
By Dee Kay
( Follow him on Instagram – Twitter – Facebook )
The dawn broke the darkness of the night,
as a young man prepared himself for another day’s fight.
He stepped out of his comfort zone once again,
the world question him why he ain’t the same.
He ignored their questions and kept moving forward,
he had lied many times but now he wants to be a man of his words
He knows the struggle and the pain that will come walking this path alone,
but its his musical story so let him set the tone.
He won’t listen to anyone once he have his eyes set on the price,
he has been suffocating down under and its time for his rise.
How tough is it going to be ?, he often asked himself in the company of the night sky,
tough enough to make you wanna quite but just remember the reason you started it and why !
He knows this path would break him first just to make him again,
the negative thoughts might delay it but he is no longer the same.
He knows that the war with the world is actually just a battle he would fight,
its his own mind that is the real war and he has to do it right.
One day at a time my friend I said to him in the company of the morning sky,
I found myself muttering those words to my soul trying to reach out so high.
The day will come when they will know me by my name,
that day I will have everything my family love money and the fame.
That day I will look back at my struggles and would be proud of what I have achieved so far,
that day the past’s pain and my present happiness would finally be at par.
The dawn broke the darkness of the night,
a new man was born after winning his last fight.

Morning Motivation #64
By Dee Kay
( Follow him on Instagram – Twitter – Facebook )
There is absolutely nothing between you and your dreams except your own imaginary flaws and lack of commitments. Look around yourself and open your eyes to the wide range of opportunities just awaiting you to take the first step and to be consistent. The biggest problem you have is that you create problems before they even come into existence thus wasting your time in self-pity or over-thinking about the same.
What if you began to trust yourself and have an undying belief in your ability to achieve your dreams, what will happen then?
The answer is simple, YOU MIGHT JUST FULFILL YOUR DESTINY.
So stop self-doubting, over-thinking, and creating hurdles in your path by yourself. Start trusting yourself, helping yourself, and take the first step.
NOW GO BE YOUR OWN HERO.
BE EPIC

Morning Motivation #63

What are the lies that you have been feeding your minds?
The situation is not right, or I don’t have the money/time, or the world is against me, or I am just too unlucky, or the biggest of all; I AM A FAILURE.
These are the just one set of example that we have all encountered once too many in our lives yet when the chips are down we end up selling ourselves this BS lies for the price of our future.
Is your future this cheap?
You say that the situation isn’t right but tell me one person who achieved something worthwhile when his/her situation was optimal? The short answer is NONE.
Let’s talk about lack of capital, do you think Jeff Bezos became the richest man in the world because he had some inherited money? No, he became the richest man alive because he was able to convince people to invest in his vision and ideas. So go out and make people see YOU and your idea until you mind someone who could see what others can’t.
Time, well Jeff Bezos have 24 hours same as you so quit complaining. It’s not about the amount of time but the usage of time that makes the difference.
The world is against everyone who wants to be someone but in reality most of it is just in your mind. And when it comes to luck, WE ALL MAKE OUR OWN LUCK.
So what if you have fallen, remember a kid learns to walk only after falling hundreds of time and you’re an adult so stand up and dust off the dirt to take another step.
TAKE THAT STEP THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
NOW GO BE YOUR OWN HERO.
BE EPIC

Can a trek change your life? Can it rejuvenate your soul while making you understand yourself?
Neil, an introvert and an engineer with a steel manufacturing company is struggling to cope up with the intense amount of chaos thrown at him by life. Under the weight of responsibility and day-to-day obligations, he seems lost and without a voice of his own. His passion for writing and the longing for the mountains have taken a backseat as he pushes himself to be at par with the standard the world has set for him. The unsuspected emotional traumas of the past, the unspoken feelings of the present, and the uncertainty of the future have been adding more turmoil to his already fragile state of mind.
Then one day he gets a chance to join in on a trek with a friend. Not sure at first, he tries to make excuse to get out of it but after persuasion from Misha, he finally sets for a journey into the heart of the Himalayas. Unaware of what awaits him and skeptical about the unplanned trek, he gears up for what would unfold as the journey that would change him for good.
Join Neil as he takes on his fear of uncertainty, the anxiety of being around strangers, and the love for the mountains. Walk with him on the trail of unfolding his true self while facing the odds at the snow-covered mountains. Be his strength as he dares to summit the Kedarkantha peak only to find his limits that he has to overcome.
Can he truly overcome his fears? Can he bypass the limits his body has by freeing his mind?

Agonizing Past By Dee Kay
Agonizing Past
By Dee Kay
A montage of memories taking over the conscious mind,
the resurfacing aching building up tears that are making me blind.
There are parts of the soul that are still missing their place,
Failure has become a part of me as I keep falling on my face.
I keep trying to get a hold of myself as enough is enough,
I wish I knew that this patch of life was going to be so rough.
Tell me if you have felt the same way as I do,
Have you missed yourself while the time flew?
Who was that person who took you away from you?
Or was it you who mistakenly put their trust in the wrong few?
Try to give me an answer by the end of this rhyme,
In this world loving someone else can some time be a crime.
A crime of passion that results in destruction of the one that’s true,
It’s okay to fail at love but not okay to pay more than what was due.
I don’t know if the person you have lost with passage of time,
Is worth the agony of your heart or even a dime.
You are stronger than the scars your body hides with you,
It’s time you move on as life is giving you the clue.
A montage of painful memories tried to cloud my present,
It’s a lesson well learned for the future battlefront.
