my nervous system doesn't tolerate yelling or arguing. speak to me calmly, or don't speak to me at all.

group chats are not for me. as soon as my phone starts vibrating back to back, MUTE

I hate that retail therapy works on me. I am so much happier and at peace when I’m buying things for myself

All boarding schools in Kenya should be closed immediately until basic fire safety is proven.

No dormitory should reopen without fire detectors installed everywhere, working alarms, clear exits, extinguishers, and a public safety certificate.

This is no longer a “wait for investigations” matter. Children are sleeping in death traps while Ministry of Education officials behave like they are on leave.

If this is not done, we will rant and rant until another fire.

Kenyans are known to forget very fast and having a very short memory.

Next year is going to be 20 years since PEV. The same person who was implicated in it is set to vie for the second time for the highest rank in a country.

And when the topic is about having “a mom who genuinely loves you unconditionally”
I will stand up and talk loudly about my mom🥹

I think every woman hits that season where she’s not angry anymore , just aware . You see people clearly . You move differently . You don’t explain.. you just shift . That’s maturity mixed with grace🙂‍↕️

After all is said and done, I’m really glad that never even once in my parents household did I hear a tribalistic remark made towards any tribe. It all begins at home. People don’t just wake up and decide they ‘don’t like’ tribe X or Y. It all begins at home!

[Nyasrek.🌸 @_atienoh]

I will always love you Agwambo, Oriti. 🤍🕊

Grief is the price we pay for love. The harder you love the harder you cry.
