Most of us aren't going through a lot. We just need money. Like me right now, there's absolutely nothing wrong with me. I'm just financially inconvenienced. The moment money hits my account, I'll recover immediately.
In Dholuo, we love saying “Ngima ema duong.”
It means that the gift of life is greater than anything else. It implies that as long as there’s life, we can do anything.
That as long as you’re alive, there’s room to try again. And again.
Thinking about it always makes me smile.
I read it somewhere "We romanticized the wrong organ the stomach is more emotional than the heart" and it feels so true. We feel butterflies in our stomach and when we're sad we lose our appetite our stomach gets affected by emotions way more than we realize.
