Boyfriend: Okay.
He leaves her alone.
No calls.
No texts.
Nothing.
The next morning, she messages him.
Girlfriend: So you’re really not going to check on me?
Boyfriend: You asked for space.
Girlfriend: I was upset.
Boyfriend: I know.
Girlfriend: You’re supposed to know I didn’t actually mean it.
Boyfriend: Then why did you ask me to leave you alone?
Girlfriend: Because I wanted you to care enough to come after me.
Boyfriend: You told me exactly what you wanted.
Girlfriend: Sometimes you have to understand what I mean, not just what I say.
Boyfriend: That’s difficult.
Girlfriend: Why?
Boyfriend: Because now I’m being punished for respecting your boundary.
She doesn’t reply.
Three hours later, she calls him.
Girlfriend: Do you even love me?
Boyfriend: Yes.
Girlfriend: Then why didn’t you come looking for me?
Boyfriend: Because you asked me not to.
Girlfriend: You really don’t understand women.
Boyfriend: Maybe.
There was a long silence.
Then he said:
“Next time you need space, I’ll give you space. If you want me to come after you, tell me that instead.”
She hung up.
The next day, she sent him a message:
“I think you take everything too literally.”
He replied:
“I think you say things you don’t actually mean and expect me to know which parts to ignore.”
She didn’t answer.
That evening, she came over.
Girlfriend: So what are we supposed to do now?
Boyfriend: Say what we mean.
Girlfriend: That’s it?
Boyfriend: That’s it.
Girlfriend: What if I’m too angry to say what I mean?
Boyfriend: Then say, “I’m angry. I don’t know what I want right now.”
She thought about it.
Then nodded.
Girlfriend: Okay.
Boyfriend: Okay.
Girlfriend: I still want you to chase me a little, though.
He smiled.
Boyfriend: Then you should probably put that in the instructions.
She laughed.
And for the first time, neither of them had to guess what the other person meant.

WHAT EXCITES POLITICIANS:
"Sisi kama wa'Luo"
"Sisi kama wa'Kikuyu"
"Sisi kama wa'Luhya"
"Sisi kama wa'Kalenjin"
WHAT SCARES POLITICIANS:
"Sisi kama WaKenya."
Politicians hate when Kenyans transcend ethnic enclaves to unite under one dream of ONE KENYA.

RT widely.
Remain FOCUSED.
Refuse to be distracted.
Dishonourable MPs are splashing dirty money, bribing parasites to scuttle our voice.
They are scared.
We are determined to make them accountable for the mockery, contempt, and theft of our taxes.
Focus.
Refuse to be a slave.
