A man's end month:
"Daddy, new shoes for church. Mummy said the one I wanted was 2,000."
"Hello dear, also, don't forget to deposit Ray's fees tomorrow. It is 18,000 for Grade 5 pupils."
"Hello Dad, the WiFi isn't working. I have an online lesson for Research Writing this evening. Send 6,500 to pay for its reconnection."
"Hello parents, the Grade 10 Yellow will be going for a Mathematics trip to the Museum of Illusion, Nairobi. The cost of the trip per student is 15,000."
"Boss, the tree on the lower side fell on the cowshed. Fundi repaired it. Send 4,000."
"Hello, dear, my dad's monthly diabetes clinic is tomorrow. Send me 7,000 to fuel the car."
"Baba Ray, good afternoon. Ray took three bunches of bananas for cooking yesterday. The Bill is 1500."
"Bro, the vet treated mum's cow. I paid 100, the balance is 2,900."
"Boss, the balance on the previous repair of the sockets and bulbs was 6,000. Please send me so that I can pay the electrical shop."
"Bro, my husband was severely injured last night after a fight. We are fundraising for his head surgery. As my elder bro, send 3,000."
"Hello, sir, James, the janitor in the maintenance department, lost his wife. We are fundraising. Send 1,000."
"Boss, I will not be there on Wednesday, so bring your car for service tomorrow morning. The bill is 8,000."
"Hello, cousin, I was called for an interview but I don't have fare. Please send me 1,000 for fare and lunch."
"Praise God, brethren, Kevin's wedding committee will sit tomorrow. As the chairman, you will kickstart the fundraising with 25,000."
"Good evening, your gym subscription will end tomorrow. Please pay 2,500 to continue with your fitness classes without interruption. Thank you."

To be a MAN is to bear responsibility for all things.

Anger in relationships :
Some people donโt realise the pain that they cause others.
Even if they do, it doesnโt register as important enough to stop.
They feel justified in blasting over small issues.
A minor disagreement becomes an excuse for an emotional outburst.
Words turn sharp.
Tone turns cruel.
There is venom in their speech.
They speak to release their own frustration, not caring where the words land.
What they often fail to realise is that words donโt vanish after they are spoken.
They linger.
They replay in the listenerโs mind long after the argument ends.
Relationships donโt usually break in one dramatic moment.
They erode, slowly through repeated verbal stings.
And when the damage finally shows, the same people are surprised:
โWhy are you distant?โ
โWhy donโt you talk anymore?โ
They donโt realise that trust doesnโt survive constant verbal attacks.
That safety disappears when conversations feel like minefields.
Every relationship needs repair after conflict.
But venom leaves scars that apologies canโt always undo.
Speaking without awareness may feel like honesty,
but honesty without empathy is just harm with an excuse.
If a relationship matters, words must be chosen with care.
Because once spoken, they cannot be taken back.
Anger recedes.
Words remain.
