One of the loneliest feelings is knowing you have so much potential, but feeling completely lost about your next move, your career, and your future.

celibacy is real. not everyone is out here sleeping around some people are choosing peace, self-control, and solitude on purpose..

Bro people look down on drug addicts while they're addicted to their phone, food, a person and have a drinking problem. We're all dabbling in escapism, yours is just more socially acceptable

i’m gonna get yelled at for saying this, but a lot of women are single because they haven’t met a man who’s better at being a man than they already are.

[muna. @yourmuna00]

Evenings after work are way too short. One meal, one show and it’s already tomorrow morning 😭

Now watch how it’ll be Monday in 2 minutes.

One of the most beautiful feelings is knowing someone finds you interesting enough to talk to every single day. That they choose to spend their time with you, not out of obligation, but because they genuinely enjoy your presence.

Childlike playfulness is needed to enjoy adult life, don’t lose that side of youuu

my mom once told me “accountability will always feel like an attack when you are not ready to acknowledge how your behavior harms others” and that shit is real.

I recently organized a dental camp in one of the schools in Nairobi with children between ages 3-8. I can report that 80% of the children had dental fluorosis. This is slowly becoming a pandemic in Nairobi county. The public and @MOH_Kenya need to pay attention

1. What is dental fluorosis? It’s a condition where teeth develop white streaks, brown stains, or pitted/rough enamel. It happens when children swallow too much fluoride while their permanent teeth are still forming. Most people usually refer to it was ‘meno ya brown’
2. Excess fluoride levels in Nairobi county is mainly from underground water sources, so the boreholes that most people get water from, which they use for drinking and cooking. Others sources are fluoridated toothpaste swallowed instead of spit out, and in rare cases fluoride supplements.
3. Mild cases of fluorosis usually pose just cosmetic concerns but moderate and severe cases make teeth weak and susceptible to decay.
4. Treatment is usually costly,depending on the severity and most parents may not be able to afford

I believe there is need for rigorous public awareness campaigns, in schools, homes, hospitals, communities… some of these talks need to even start at the antenatal clinics. Mothers need to be taught about dental care too.

Then testing and monitoring of fluoride levels for each and every water source in this county. If possible, defluoridation systems can be put in place.

This is a project that requires many stakeholders involved and I hope someday it gets done. @HonAdenDuale @fnoluga @SakajaJohnson @psmuthoni

The dating pool for young women is literally:

- porn addicts
- narcissistic (if not sociopathic) gym bros
- rapists
- emotionally distant manipulators
- performative "woke" men who still treat women like sh*t

And they wonder why women wants nothing to do with men

Nobody will be meaner to you than an insecure man who is attracted to you.

I genuinely believe anyone that could put you in a love triangle wouldn’t mind seeing you dead.

[Ever Ride or Die ⛓️ @bgdclhs]

Burning for yourself matters too.

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

The older I get the more I realize, calm is the real wealth. Living a very private life. Away. Alone. Observing. Thinking. Learning. Being bored. Creating something meaningful. A quiet day, sunlight, coffee, music, books, and stillness. That'll do.

[Lady Yak 🌪️ @Nisha_Booh]

Y’all have officially made being alone feel safer than being chosen.

My final act of love will be taking myself out of your life so you can lust over random women without me in your way.
