I think men should stop being cowards.
Accept their fate. Go home and pass away in peace.
Being nice because you think your wife will be good to you on your deathbed is the rankest shithousery.
Some of you marry ingrates and hope a lifetime of nurturing them will change them
My older brother missed my graduation.
No call. No message. Nothing.
Everyone kept asking, “Where is he?” and I just kept smiling, as if it didn’t matter, but it did.
That night, I muted his contact.
Three days later, there was a knock on our door.
He stood there tired, unshaven, holding a small wrapped box.
“I’m sorry,” he said. “I couldn’t leave the site. If I didn’t finish that job, they wouldn’t pay me and I needed the money for this.”
Inside the box was a simple wristwatch.
“I wanted you to have something that reminds you. Your time is just starting.”
I didn’t know whether to cry or feel guilty.
Sometimes, people don’t show up the way we expect them to.
But it doesn’t mean they didn’t care.
My biggest wish ?
“To have my own warm home, and a job that suits me. To do all the things I've dreamed of. To be fine, with a calm mind, free soul, peaceful heart, and eyes without tears. To just live a simple quiet life, nothing more..”
I had a friend who used to call me at 4am crying about her boyfriend. I’d wake up, listen, let her vent, and then go back to sleep, more than once. One night I couldn’t sleep, so I thought I’d return the favor and called her at 4am. She answered and told me she was sleeping, & I should call back tomorrow. Moral of the story: always remember that energy you give isn’t always going to be reciprocated—set your boundaries, even with “friends.”
i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a lamborghini.
i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.
sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.
so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.
spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.
that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.
If we ever decide to stop communicating, I think it’s best that we both respect that boundary , even on special occasions like birthdays, New Year’s Day, my dad’s remembrance, or my graduation.
If you hear anything about my life that might make you want to reach out, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t, and I promise to offer you the same respect.
I truly wish you the very best, whether we part as friends or partners, and I hope we can both move forward with peace and mutual understanding.
Man, I don't have much to say lately. It's a chaotic world. The poor marry, so do the rich. Some die, some are born. I ate meat, I ate veggies. I lost my job, but I got another. And I love it in nature, man. The ocean, the trees: they do something to me, man.
And when I am running, the wind feels like therapy in my face. I also concluded that I have no type, no mechanical standards with people: everybody is an experience. A book I unravel. There are times I wished the novel would go on forever, but I guess I am no life's author: I am only a reader. I can only exist in the moment. Not focus too much on the ending.
There are women I thought I would marry, man. And I loved holding their hands, kissing their foreheads. But I guess it was never meant to be. And it is sad, but it's life, man. That's the joy of it. To feel with abandon. Then heal just as resolutely.
I used to believe I was entirely good. But I got blocked for the first time this year, so I guess I can't be all that. When I tell my stories, I am an angel and rainbow, but I must have hurt people in my past, and I guess I am a little heartbroken by it. I wanted to be perfect. And I always meant well but intentions never count when we hurt people, do they?
And I want to live with the rules, man. But they are so exhausting. Do this, and do that and they still don't guarantee shit. Because after all of it, I am still going to die. You could do everything right, and still lose. And that's just how it is. That's just how it is.
So I guess my only rule is living for now. I will be more pessimistic when I give up. But I have hope still. I see myself with a nice house somewhere with a lot of trees, man. Someone I will wake up to and call "baby". I mean it's stupid when you think it up, but what's the alternative, man? Wake up to a fucking cactus in a pot in my 40s?! Call a cat "honey"?
And my friends look at me and say,"you are too white, brother". Too romantic for life. But I am not the one chasing emptiness with gin. Night after night with nothing to show for it, except bland tales about the pretty girl at the bar, and the big boys that spend cash like it's water. Knowing everything about everyone except ourselves. Chasing everything but us, man. Living vicariously through others, delegating our existence to another. Like a man who has love at home, but won't stop lamenting doomed love. Parroting hell for relevance until he becomes the statistic he spoke into life.
And why must it always be investment. Can't even spend my money in peace. Everybody is preaching and the gospel is all stacking it up. But I saw a local dude in some torn shorts, with his wife and kids in Lamu, laughing to their last teeth by the beach. I mean it's not much, and it could be better. But it's not nothing. Right? We are not going to be dollar millionaires, and I guess that's fine, man. We don't have to be to live life. Most of us won't. But we can still be loved. We can still eat and drink. And that's what they call living, man. So I don't want to talk about the latest cars and flashiest watches. I will settle for the occasional laughter God sends my way.
Until I have lost the light in me, then I will join you. But for now, I want to live. I want to wake up with some excitement. I want to exercise, man. I want to dream. I can't be mechanical about it. I am not a car. Just another dude, who a million years from now won't mean shit. But I've got to live. I've got to live.
Uganda Airlines, if you don't pull up your socks and stop operating an airline line like a taxi, then people will opt for other airlines plying the same routes and forfeit their patriotism. Last week's Wednesday flight to Zanzibar was cancelled and pushed to Thursday. Yesterday's (Wednesday) flight from Zanzibar to Entebbe was delayed until midnight, only for passengers to reach the airport and again told the same flight was pushed to today, Thursday. Imagine someone travelling on a budget and having to foot extra bills because of these bogus delays? @UG_Airlines
But you,
You will marry well.
You will marry a truly great person.
You will never regret the one you choose.
Your marriage will not be something you endure,
but something you enjoy, even into your old age.
You will marry only once, and it will last beautifully.
The one you marry will never regret choosing you.
I pray for you, good health, a sound mind, divine ideas, and abundant wealth to walk confidently upon this earth.
If you desire children, you will have them right on time.
And your children will never make you cry, except with tears of joy.
Although I'm ok with being single, I can't wait to actually meet someone who's actually interested in me. The constant crave of wanting to talk, asking about my day, my feelings, sharing laughter & being heard is so rare nowadays. Nobody communicates anymore. Real is Rare.
Maturing is realising that no one will ever talk you out of a person. You have to feel your way out. The mind will rationalise, the heart will hope, but the soul leaves first. Long before you pack your bags, long before you say “I’m done”. Let me explain…
My bsf left her husband of 2 years cause he bought her a perfume and she was extremely happy. Then she used the perfume and after a while, she took his phone and found him sending a message that says "I bought my wife the same perfume as yours to smell you in my house"
