Having recently visited home. I was quite excited, u know the feeling you got as a kid knowing you are going somewhere u anticipate! that's how i feel a day before i catch that flight to kenya. So excited that my one best moment was when we got to kenya soo drunk early one morning and sang the national anthem upon landing. Mind you, we sang the 1st verse perfectly then started mumbling after(shame on us) considering we stood alert for 8 + 4 years every monday and friday and sang that anthem! back to the list, honestly i have to learn to stop interacting my own stories. As i was saying, there are behaviours us as east africans need to get over or rather improve if we so need to be compatible with the rest of the world. my friends were laughing as i told them and thought i have lived abroad so long! truth be told, whether its being home they still distract us, yet we pretend not to care and live moss moss while we fu#%&N! oops, i curse sometimes! while we get soo pissed if w...

During the last couple of months, so much has happened in my life that am surprised! i mean i am very surprised with life and with myself! i have had some time to think and reflect and i realize i am b happy! I am happy with the changes and i can't have it any other way! no way! smh. How simple life can be if we let ourselves be what we want and do what we want without the what ifs and maybes! i know that we complicate our lives  and we are the only ones who can take charge of situations in us and change them for the better or for worse! Lets keep in mind as i have said before that we have one life and there is no sad life than to live unhappy and with regrets. Yes, we make many mistakes in our lives but those should be a stepping stone for the better, we break and we learn our own strength! Life throws alot on us. Things change in seconds just like it gets dark at night and then light comes in the morning. Say for instance, someone close to us dies, those who are left feel like ...

If anybody could open up our hearts, what would they find? we have things packed up in some closet in our hearts that if opened they could be some landslide! the closet is so locked somewhere at the bottom of our hearts and the key holder as they say died long goes, so as long as the key cannot be found, those things, emotions, anger, love are locked up and forgotten! i dont know people who love to keep things like the likes of us all! why do we keep them? why would someone be soo angry with us and look at us and smile while the other person has no idea what they did! pls people, lets just grow up! If i wrong you just walk straight up and tell me, then al tell you why i wronged then we can agree to disagre, hug in tears proclaiming our love(gals!lol) or just make sure that spot we met will never grow nothing again! however we choose to resolve it just walk up and say how you feel! Talking about what we feel free's us from some kind of self imprisonment! Walking away makes us sad ...

what is it that comes to my mind when i think about the girl child? Alot i could say! Alot! Me having being one of them, it saddens me how the girl child comes out as! well, sometimes we enjoy it we cant say we dont( esp for attention lovers! like me! ha!). Depending on which part of the world you grow up in and the way communities have valued the girl child. I was over the moon when saudi agreed to send the female team to the olympics(hands up men! good job well done). To believe that a woman's place is somewhere, at home, taking care of husband and children while the men explore the world is a totally unfair thing! Imagine the pressure on those women, to shine and show the world that they deserved that after fighting for long! And down in history it will go, that women did participate in the olympics and am soo glad it starts from here! I am glad our mothers fought for some things, but woe unto us, we are still fighting to liberate ourselves. To know that we can do something!...

Let’s start by examining the most basic definition of racism—the dictionary meaning. According to the American Heritage College Dictionary , racism has two meanings. Firstly, racism is, “The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.” Secondly, racism is, “Discrimination or prejudice based on race.” Ignorance is a state of being uninformed (lack of   knowledge ) The word ignorant is an adjective describing a person in the state of being unaware and is often used as an insult. Being a foreigner i can openly say i have encountered people who have subjected me and my friends to racism and some are simply ignorant! i have in some moments being so angry and left wondering what can be done? will it ever end? what generation will end this? and what type of education systems will help in this?. Have our education systems contributed to how we see things? Don't get me wrong, in here i talk a...

As we never knew when we came to earth so we shall disappear from the face of the earth!. I am one of the people who wishes that time for me to disappear never catches up with me!( yea i dont want to watch guys wearing my stuff or holding parties in the house that they acquired after my disappearance lol#yeaiknwitselfish#). With us knowing that, now, lets be careful about how we spend our time, with whom and how we make ourselves or others relate with us!It is better to be hated for what you are than loved  for what you are not! Since we find and will leave everything in this world, why are we not content by being passerbys! we treat life and others as if we are permanently on earth, As the saying goes, what goes around, comes back around.lets do unto others as we expect them to do unto us. i  know we are human and human is  to error! so lets be easy to forgive genuinely(yea although i know some people would enjoy hurting the rest just because they know they shall be ...

Wow! I have never read a book soo fast. 3 days and i was done reading this book. Believe me if i was not working i would hav read it in a day. This is because when i started reading it, i just wanted to read more n more. The quest of understanding how a mind of a man works was like a force pushing! The fact is: a man's mind is very simple! straight forward that if you know your man real well, u can tell his next intentions. A woman's mind is a rollercosta! wow, this minute she feels this, the other that. N so they say Men havent figured out how to handle this and that why sometimes they shove left and right and all women have been in believe that men are the same. They disappoint after all you do for them! n oohh i have also learnt that a man's love is completely different than a womans love and because women expect it in return as they give, then there is a problem. (FYI this doesnt include the men who have hurt women intentionally and are just pathetical players, those ar...

Yesterday i asked my mum a simple(#inmythoughts) question!, 'what drives you?' she explained in different phases in her life, different things have been a force that pushes her forward. She is now Driven most by us(me and my bro) Everyday whe wakes up early (ever since i can rem) to work inorder to sustain us. And so i thought now that am Grown up, mama has stopped thinking about me!(asif?) i was like but mum ' am all grown, so why keep thinking about me yet am an independent woman? ' You still drive me she said, knowing you are independent makes me wonna push till i can see your brother independent. For you my drive now is to guide you through marriage (yes am getting married soon) and guide you thorugh, i am waiting to play with my grandchildren and spoil them alittle ( donwant makids spoilt, God help!!) So then today a've been thinking all day, what drives me! Alot i can say, but i have to make u guys laugh that once upon a time i was driven by the believe ...

when someone gives me a bad look, i wonder why he/she is looking at me like that, the other day as i saw someone do it on the bus, i wondered, DOES EVERYONE WONDER WHY I SMILE AT THEM? Having lived and visited many places, i know there are smiley people in this world and i know there are people who have no use for smiles. I live in a very shy community and before smiling became toxic, it was very dull. I used to miss all the people who walked past me in my homecountry and wave good morning, i missed the morning discussions on the bus. I missed how we would pass by streets and some stranger smiled at you. Maybe the people here have changed now or is it that i got used to the community? I smile everywhere, i smile alone, even when am soo sad you can see my tears and someone says something funny, i smile. A smile brightens someone else,s day, its the most beautiful curve we have. Every time my niece smiles at me, my heart melts, when an old grandma or grandpa gives me their toothless ...

Many are the times i have wondered, 'am i satisfied with my life?'. A few years back in college i used to have random chats with my cousin. He was abit older than me but i could not agree with him when he would tell me that in 5 year's time, my mind would be completely different in terms of my thoughts and that i would totally believe in things i never believed in. I was completely wrong, because its been like 9 years now and my mind is nowhere in those thoughts and believes i had. In my own little mind, i thought i would get married to my first love, even after he had broken my heart.Then at some point i believed there was no true love and that people get married in a sort of understanding each other just because we are human beings and we need companionship, Now i believe you can love a person, because no one is perfect and u should try to make the imperfect perfect in your partner(though not in all cases, only when the other party feels the same and is willing to do the ...
