@Kimuzi_ Life majuu can be crazy. Sometimes one feels lonely, lost and regretful especially if the math did not add up. Secondly, unlike back home, nobody including majirani/fellow students/co-workers will ever care to know how you're fairing. Uko peke yako halafu pombe pia ni cheap sana.
A few thoughts on the Netherlands 🇳🇱
After several years living here, I want to say it clearly: I really like this country.
The Dutch have a special kind of quiet decency — direct, practical, and often kinder than they give themselves credit for. I appreciate the freedom, the safety, the respect for personal space, and the way life feels organized without being oppressive.
This environment has also given me space to breathe and continue my journey with mental health — to manage my psychoses better and build a meaningful life.
I love the beautiful light on the canals, the bike culture (even if I still complain about the rain), and the simple pleasure of Friday mornings at the market. Most of all, I’m grateful for the good people I’ve met — normal, warm, down-to-earth people who value real life.
It’s not perfect, of course. No country is. But this place has given me space to grow, to heal in my own way, and to create. And for that, I’m truly thankful.
Men don’t talk about it enough. Eboué lost everything he worked for, and now he can’t even stand beside his own child as they sign their first pro contract. The world hits men with a level of cruelty nobody wants to admit.
Men,
While at it,
Remember to:
• Love in private
• Marry in private
• Raise babies in private
• Quarel in private
• Solve in private
• Dissolve in private
Keep your family private.
Nobody cares about your performance on social media.
