HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE 🫨
Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to break the 2-hour barrier in official race conditions, storming to a historic 1:59:30‼️
@KejelchaYomif, on his marathon debut, also breaks 2 hours with a stunning 1:59:41 and @jacobkiplimo2 clocks 2:00:28, also faster than the previous world record 😤
we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.
When someone you love offers a bid for connection, you say yes every time. When someone sends you an article, a video, a funny post, it’s a bid for connection. They are trying to connect with you. When someone shares details about their day, their life, their thoughts, or their feelings with you, that is a bid for connection. They want to connect with you on a deeper level. They are trying to pull you into their world. If you love them, you say yes every time. Yes, even if the article they send is not particularly interesting to you. Yes, even if it means listening to them ramble about a game you don’t care about and think is stupid. Yes yes yes. And let’s hope they always say yes to your bids, too.

I have a boyfriend. He works a 9-5, so he sleeps on a regular schedule. He signed off our conversation tonight by saying, "I know you're going to stay up all night writing, so feel free to use my text message inbox as a journal. I want to know what goes on in your mind at night.”
my favourite quote from atomic habits by James clear;
"It doesn't make sense to continue wanting
something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment"
I don't pay homage to the village frequently. I'm the 1st child
In our culture, I should not go home sana. I'm Migogo! Ask Luos what it means
Today I got bread for breko with Blueband and eggs. But sikulangi mkate!
So I decided to walk and see If I'd get Nduma or something
Passed a lady selling njungu, and chewing gum
Arithmetically, she should be 50, but nothing fucks you harder, deeper and with more passion than time,
She looked 78 or there about!
She smiled at me as I waltzed by. Eyes locked. Silent words passed
I returned her gaze. Hers was fixated, the sun took her command and wobbled away,
My existence was like the tablets Moses scribbled- stark naked!
At the mercies of her gaze, warmth of her desire , my soul unclothed
I bought ndazi Moto hapo kando and walked to her. Gave her what was in my pocket
200 note.
"How much Njugu do you want!"
Flashing that smile laden with years but that has never lost its ingenuity!
I return her gaze
"No njugu Dani. Kawuono kik ibed e chieng ahinya (don't stay too long in the Sun today!)
She grabs my hand and kisses it. Then kisses it again...
"Okay! " I muse in my mind. That should do!
She kissed it again. And again
My tear ducts burst. Pieces of shit couldn't behave without supervision!
I lost count of the kisses she planted on my palm
I went back home and summoned God
"Oya, nigga, come here for a sec!"
"Thank you for everything. I don't know you. I don't understand you. I'm just a girl with grammar and audacity
Staki tukasirikiane. If I start asking questions like why Ruto ako state house na that lady ako kwa jua, tutavurugana,
I'll do my bit. If I ever need you, don't fail me! Umeskia God? Good!"
