In Kenya, with only academic papers, without generational wealth, scamming and corruption, your life starts at 27- 30.. That's when you find a job, you find purpose and direction.. There is nothing like starting over at 29 because you haven't even started
The real problem is that many people are Cohabiting but don’t even know it because they don't understand what cohabitation truly means.
Let me set the record straight.
When you spend a few weekends or a couple of days at your boyfriend’s house, that’s cohabitation in action, not just casual visits.
What are the benefits of cohabitation before marriage:
1. It helps you truly know each other on a deep level, beyond surface-level dating.
2. You’ll discover if he reuses the same boxer shorts for days on end, or actually changes them daily.
3. You’ll find out whether he (or she) snores loudly enough to disrupt your sleep every single night.
4. You’ll see if he takes a proper bath daily or only once every three days. Short visits let anyone put on a show; extended time reveals the truth.
5. You’ll learn if he flushes the toilet after use, or leaves it for someone else to handle.
6. You’ll test whether you can spend at least four full days together without sex and whether he stays patient and respectful, or gets angry and entitled.
7. You’ll observe if he genuinely stays in touch with his parents and family, or only pretends to when you’re around.
8. You’ll see exactly how she manages her periods: Does she change her pads regularly and bathe 2-3 times a day, or let hygiene slide?
9. You’ll discover whether he still loves and supports you during your periods, or if his affection disappears the moment sex is off the table. Some men only show interest when they can get physical.
10. It will quickly reveal how kind, wicked, or inconsiderate your partner really is. When tensions rise and they get truly angry, their real character comes out, no filters.
11. You’ll find out if she weaponizes chores and intimacy: Does she stop cooking and refuse sex every time she’s upset, turning minor disagreements into full-blown punishment?
12. You’ll see if he’s a lazy partner who sleeps in past 7 a.m. while expecting you to handle everything, or if he actually pulls his weight.
13. It exposes financial habits in real time: Does he provide or he expects you to split bills?
14. It reveals long-term lifestyle compatibility: How does he handle responsibilities in the house when you're either sick or too tired? Does he do the house chores with joy or he builds resentment?
Cohabitation strips away the pretense. It shows you the raw, everyday version of your partner, not the polished one reserved for short visits. Know before you commit.
Make sure you Cohabit with your partner at intervals before marriage. It will save you from a whole lot.
Above all, love God.
Playgroup update: my kid made one friend and caught the flu. Social skills = 10/10, immunity still loading 🤧. Now we are all fighting for our dear lives.
Day 3 in the playgroup WhatsApp group and there’s already an upcoming school trip 😂
We just opened school… let the kids at least locate their classrooms first 😭
Sometimes, two people can have something truly good — real love, a bond built on patience, loyalty, and growth. It’s not always perfect, but it’s solid. Then, slowly, the poison begins to creep in — not from within, but from the outside. A friend, or group of friends, maybe even a stranger with no real place in your life, begins to whisper things like “You deserve better,” or “You’re settling for less.” They say it like they care, but often, it’s envy dressed as concern. They’re not happy for you — they’re threatened by the happiness you’ve found.
And in the noise of those whispers, it’s easy to forget who’s been there — the person who loved you before the glow-up, who saw your flaws and still chose you, who celebrated your wins and stood by you through your darkest days. The one who helped you grow into the very version of yourself that’s now attracting attention. But little by little, those whispers begin to shift something in your heart. You start looking at them differently. Respect begins to slip. Then comes neglect. Then defiance. Suddenly, every small thing turns into an argument, and the peace that once held you together starts to crack.
One day, without even realizing how you got there, you walk out. The door opens. Maybe it’s not even dramatic — just a slow fade into distraction, into validation, into the arms of attention that feels new and exciting. But what you don’t realize is that the attention wasn’t for your soul. It wasn’t love — it was interest. Temporary, shallow, and often selfish. They didn’t want you. They wanted a part of you. A version they imagined — not the one who struggles, the one who loves deeply, or the one who comes with responsibility.
And when that illusion crumbles, you look back — maybe hoping for comfort, for familiarity, for a second chance. But the door is shut. Not slammed, not locked in anger — just closed in silence, because some people don’t get to leave and return when they feel like it. That’s when the regret sets in. You remember the small moments, the sacrifices, the laughter that came easy, the love that felt like home. But now, that home is no longer yours to enter.
The same friends who encouraged you to walk away? They’re the ones now gossiping about how you fumbled something real. “You had someone good,” they’ll say. But it’s too late. They weren’t rooting for your healing. They were rooting for your downfall. Misery loves company, and some people only feel better about their lives when yours starts to fall apart. That’s why you have to be cautious about who you let whisper into your life. Not every voice deserves access to your heart. Some whispers build — but most destroy.
And when someone walks out on something good because they were listening to the wrong voices, let them go. Don’t open the door when regret knocks. Let them sit with their choices. Let them learn from what they lost. Because love — real love — deserves protection. It deserves presence. It deserves someone who doesn’t just stay when it’s sweet, but also when it’s hard, when it’s silent, when it’s uncomfortable. And not everyone who loses you should ever be allowed to come back.
Some doors are better left shut — not out of hate, but out of healing.
"So, I just got fired by my partner over commission payments. 😂 Now I’m fully embracing unemployment—who knew doing absolutely nothing could feel so... professional? 😅 If anyone’s hiring someone who excels at napping and waiting for checks, hit me up! 💸 #Fired#unemployment

Kuparent na kustruggle na job ni kitu rahisi sana… Ukiwa na mkono moja unashika diaper, na ingine unafanya Zoom call, mguu unazima jiko, na background Cocofelon inashambulia akili. Alafu bado unafaa kuwa na 'me time'! Hii life ni gym ya roho tu. #MzaziMnyama#HustleNaMtoto"
Kenyan government is like a DJ—always remixing old promises and dropping new hits like Tunaangalia Hiyo and Mambo Iko Sawa… but the dancefloor (citizens) is empty!
