What if those who are gone early are the ones who got lucky and we are the ones still fighting to make sense of this meaningless cycle they escaped.
What if death isn't a tragedy like we all believe.Are we choosing to be here or its just our biology forcing us to survive?
The death of my grandfather kinyanjui really caught us offguard,we had only stayed with him for Few months after he eacaped from the Thogoto elderly home where we had admitted him since there was nobody to take care of him as needed,I remember my mother breaking the news of his demise to us at around 7:45Pm,Busaa yote mtungi nusu nilikua nimekunywa iliisha nguvu nikarudi sober,tumbo ikajaa maji,my auntie Beatrice,the roots of the family,the one that anchors the family firmly in all the storms we have had,Started rolling on the floor like Ben10 buana,yelling “Woi gai” in intervals,but her dressed remained held together between her knees,she rolled with class
This storm really caught her off guard,Njau the lion of the family,who had never shed a tear since he joined class 4 in 1988,even when his rib cage was almost cracked open by the donkey he tried to milk,he cried like a toddler that night,The old man really had our hearts,In his burial day his grand daughter, Auntie Mukami demanded that she wanted to be buried with him,And Bishop Kimata a part time Psychology lecturer in MKU agreed,he said the church has given him power to burry together two people who love each other,he said “Mwambieni aingie tumuwekeree sanduku” In hearing this,Mukami suddenly opened her eyes,staring sharply at him, she then took her handkerchief and went back to the family tent to continue crying.
Vita haikuanza hapo,ilianza kitu saa nne usiku,after the burial the family remained behind,My uncle wainaina was drunk enough suddenly clicked and shouted ‘nataka tuambiane ukweli’ . He looked at mukami and asked her,kwanini wewe unalia na ulikua unakataza watoto wako wamtembelee akiwa uhai? Weh! Hapo ndio ma flying kick ilianza buana,mwanamke anarusha teke ikikosa kufika anapiga nduru kukuconfuse,kabla ugundue teke haikufika ashaabadilisha gear na kofi iko kwa njia imekuja kama gari ya muguka. Nikisema tulikua tunalala asubuhi saa mbili kama malaya hamtaniamini
All in all,It remains unsaid that we are all sons of the soil,all men are born to die,Valar Morghulis! ata uyu kasongo sioni akifika 2027. Ni either GenZ wamalize yeye ama echaevi ifanye ile kitu,omailod!
The moment I truly understood trading
I realized I didn’t want to teach it anymore.
Not because I want to gatekeep.
Quite the opposite I genuinely enjoy helping people and putting them in a position to succeed.
But trading demands something most people underestimate... self awareness.
It forces you to confront your emotions, your ego, your impatience, your need to be right, your lack of discipline.
And many people simply aren’t willing to face that.
That’s why I love talking to traders who already understand the basics and know what this journey really asks of you.
At that point, the conversation stops being about entries and exits… and starts being about becoming the kind of person who can execute consistently.
In campus mrembo alimiss her periods by a day na alikuwa ananyesha exactly on the 23rd so akaniambia immediately. I told her awache kutense itakuja juu mimi najua game was on point. One day ikaturn into 3 days alafu into one week. Kidogo kidogo 2 wks bado hajanyesha and I was so sure tuko na mimba so ndo awache kulia usiku I told her I will take responsibility na akae akijua tukikosana nabaki na mtoto wangu.
I bought a kit akapima na ikasema negative, lakini mrembo akasema iko faulty so I went and came back with 5 more kits. Zingine mbili zikasema negative nikaona ni kama anapaka mate badala ya urine so nikaingia hiyo washroom and we did it together lakini bado zote zikasema negative but she wasn’t convinced so we went for a blood test.
After kupimwa bado ikakuwa negative. On the way home alizipata tukiwa kwa gari akamess nguo na kiti ya wenyewe I had to stay back and clean it. I also had to give her my very expensive jacket ajifunge kiuno tufiche ngori. I never wore that jacket again but I was too happy to care.
At one point when poverty had grabbed me by the neck,I found myself using a phone called Neon Kicka. Its one of those phones Ruto says are manufactured in kenya. Aki shida ni mbaya ndugu zangu. Yani Simu haikua inafanya kazi ikifika saa saba usiku. Safaricom walikua wanatuzimia mtambo. Network inapotea inarudi saa moja asubuhi. Simu huezi weka sim card yenye sio safaricom,ukiweka Airtel inasema invalid. Simu saa ingine unaingisa kwa charger namna hii,inatoka 50% inarudi 30%,unashangaa kwani simu ndio inacharge socket? Simu ukiweka video tano storage inajaa,na storage ikijaa huezi fungua whatsapp. Woi ghai! Tukitoka kuombea wale wa kutumia Toothpaste ya T guard,tuombee hawa wa Neon kicka. Poverty has depths that I never thought existed bwana
This is called a HAEMODIALYSIS CATHETER.
It is for patients undergoing dialysis.
It is inserted into a patient's chest through the internal jugular vein.
The red port cannula is the arterial lumen that draws deoxygenated blood out of the patient's body and sends it to the dialysis machine for cleaning.
The blue cannula is the venous lumen that carries cleaned, filtered blood from the dialysis machine back into the patient's bloodstream.
This catheter stays in a patient's body for 6 - 12 weeks, or even longer, depending on medical decisions, before being replaced with a permanent fistula.
A healthy kidney filters your blood 400 times per day, while a dialysis machine does so only 2 times a week, for about 5 hours per session.
Dialysis patients have to arrive at the renal unit as early as 3 am, twice a week.
Not even a dialysis machine can replace the efficiency of a healthy kidney.
Therefore, take care of your kidneys.

We have said this hundreds of times,
Once you have sex with a woman and she becomes pregnant,
• Accept responsibility,
• Do not force the woman to abort,
• If the woman elects to abort, leave her, dump her,
• Do not kill a woman just because she has refused to abort,
Abortion is a spiritual transgression, and no matter how long you hide it, it will haunt you for life.
Something else,
If you make your other woman pregnant, own it up. Don't fear your current woman.
Don't harm the other woman to please your current one.
However, if you know you are not ready for the consequences, then,
• Wear a condom
Or,
• Abstain
Are we angels?
NO.
Are we MEN?
Yes.
Men are rational and logical people who control their emotions and are aware that choices and actions have consequences.
CHANGE or PERISH.
