"If we do not lead when it comes to writing and telling our own story, those that want to remain our teachers will write our history from their own perspective..."~ Chinovava
Stop romanticizing someone who made you feel like an option instead of a priority. The good memories may be real, but they don't erase the moments that left you doubting your worth. Love shouldn't leave you constantly questioning where you stand. Don't get stuck replaying the highlights while ignoring the hurt. Sometimes the person you miss is the version of them you hoped they would be, not who they consistently showed themselves to be.
I have come to realise that living without a few close friends to share your life with changes you in quiet ways. It’s not always loneliness, but the feeling of having no one to call when something beautiful happens or when everything falls apart.
Over time, you become accustomed to carrying your thoughts, victories and struggles alone. And I think one of life's saddest truths is that people can grow used to being alone long before they stop needing to be understood.
The French cut off the head of their King and Queen for arrogance of a level much lower than that exhibited by Aden Duale in Parliament today. We are tolerating a lot of mediocrity and abuses from our elected leaders in Kenya.
Trump paused USAID when he came to power and said, “Africans should handle African problems.” I wonder why the US wants Kenya, an African country, to handle their Ebola problem.
Tafakari
My heart bleeds for Kenyans because we really think we are the exception to Iran , DRC , Sudan , Afghanistan, Nigeria. The pattern is visible and no one is the exception to bad leadership , greed and corruption.
If you have faith, please say a little prayer for Kenyans tonight. So many people are tired, anxious, angry and depressed. It’s devastating to live and witness.
DRC has been battling repeated ebola outbreaks since 1976. Sometimes it spreads to Uganda which has experience of dealing with it. Suddenly, Kenya that has never had an Ebola case, says it has set up 23 centres, a country whose public healthcare has crumpled?
This is what we mean that Kenya is a colonial state built for foreigners at the expense of the natives
Look at the government attacking its citizens to protect Americans who contract Ebola in DRC
june, deepen the devotion i have to myself and dull any distractions that stop me from seeing myself clearly. dissolve the disguises that hid my worth behind everyone else’s comfort so i can take up space without rehearsing an apology for it. may i never abandon my magic.
I have just watched how Ebola started in Liberia and how it spread to Guinea.
A quarantine facility was set up manned by military but Ebola wipped out patients together with medical team.
This is what Kenyan government is tolerating.
