Stadiums will be built and completed in 24 hours.
During half time, they'll change the direction the stadium is facing so that the sun doesn't enter the Chinese team's eyes.
Your stars aligned.
You took out a bank loan and bought yourself a nice car.
The car was imported, and you had already started paying insurance premiums.
Then you cleared the taxes — about KSh 400,000 more than you had budgeted for. A lot of money, but you rearranged things and paid it anyway.
Finally, you were handed the keys to your new car.
Except you can't actually drive it because @ntsa_kenya doesn't have number plates. At least not KDY plates.
So, a month after the vehicle arrived in Nairobi, you still can't use it — despite paying insurance premiums, on top of the Ubers and matatus you were trying to avoid by buying a car in the first place.
Government inefficiency is now costing you over KSh 100,000 per month.
Go figure.
if you pay attention to the patterns of your life, you'll realize everything always works out. everything always takes you to a greater destination. you always grow and the things you think you can't survive, you somehow divinely make it through. that's life. always remember that
I’ve started appreciating days where nothing dramatic happens. no bad news, no stressful interactions, no overwhelming thoughts. just a normal, quiet day where everything is calm. those are the days that actually feel like rest.
Gentle reminder if someone is initiating a difficult conversation with you it means they really value you and want you in their life & not that they secretly hate you.
“To avoid full accountability for how I hurt you, I will now express how your response and reaction to my harm has actually hurt me so that I can force you to apologize to me for what I did to you.”

One of the hardest truths in relationships is this-
You and your partner will hurt each other,even when you love each other deeply. People like to believe that real love means no pain,but that’s a fantasy. Real love includes moments that sting. Not because your partner is bad or toxic,but they are human. And humans mess up. They’ll say the wrong thing,they’ll disappoint you,they’ll fall short in ways they never meant to and you’ll hurt them too. You’ll miss their needs,you’ll fail without realising it. The question isn’t will this happen,because it will. The real question is what you do after the hurt. Can you talk about it? Can you stay when it’s uncomfortable? Can you choose the relationship over your ego? Can you forgive and be forgiven? Can you grow instead of walking away?
There are no perfect partners,but there are people worth keeping. The ones who stay and heal with you.
i think the purest form of love is just wanting someone to notice life with you. "taste this. look at that. hear this song." again and again. until you can't imagine noticing life without them.
My husband texted me saying he was feeling very nauseous so I told him to take a pregnancy test 🤣 for a second I thought maybe I was bein insensitive but then he texted back saying “you told me you were wearing a condom ” and I’ve been laughing about it all day 😭
