Nobody teaches you how painful it feels to slowly lose access to someone who once knew your inner life intimately. Someone who understood the silences before your sentences.
Ofwono Opondo today declined to hold a Bible or any other religious book while taking the oath. Opondo identifies as agnostic. A few years ago, Opondo refused to attend Thanksgiving prayers organised by his wife after he recovered from illness. @BbegMedia

Abraham, moses, Isaac, Jacob and all those colonial fake prophets including Jesus they all died, why do you go to church ⛪️ to mention them and call on their names. Worshiping and praising white people ancestors but you want to push your own under the bus that they’re no more. Mimi hearts my darling wake up.
There's unquantified value in having someone you can truly count on in life, someone that you can be completely free & unafraid to be vulnerable with.
But what do you do when they're no longer there, who do you run to then?!?
"There is a 'tired' that sleep does not fix.
A tension that lives in the shoulders.
A constant scanning.
A low hum of “what if.”
Strong on the outside.
Smiling in public.
Functioning well.
But internally, bracing!"
Being down to 2 days and on day 3, I just want to go and sit in an abandoned corner in a bar, and sip very cold Gs, alone, away from the music & crowd makes me wonder how low is rock bottom!
If there is a gift I'm so blessed with, it's hiding pain & acting all is well yet deep down I'm crumbling but lately this burden seems to get heavier for me to carry on with each passing day! 1306
I've found myself thinking "god, I need a cigarette" way too often for someone who doesn't actually smoke. but what can I say! I've been needing a cigarette!
