While admiring the moon a few days ago, I was reminded of something I came across on Instagram the other day that shifted my perspective on life. It was a graphic representation comparing the span of human life to the lifespan of the universe. It highlighted the sobering reality that long before we came into existence, the universe had already existed for billions of years, and long after we are gone, it will continue to exist for billions more, unaffected and undisturbed. As I watched the moon, I began to…More

The government of Kenya must urgently prioritize job creation as a national emergency. Our country is sitting on a ticking time bomb—youth unemployment. Every year, thousands of young people graduate from universities and colleges with hope in their hearts and qualifications in their hands, only to be met by a stagnant job market and an economy that has no room for them. This is not just an economic issue; it’s a social and moral crisis. When young people are denied opportunity for too long, their despair eventually spills into the…More

I am often misunderstood. I understand why though, I can be weird at times. I say weird things when I don’t know what to say. Then I over analyze what I said and I replay it over and over again in my head. That is why I choose to be quiet most of the time. I don’t care about fitting in with the crowd, because I have never been a follower. I have always just done my own things. I guess I am an outsider perhaps. But I’m okay with…More

When I requested for Uber, earlier today, the available driver was unusually very close, (1 minute away). That was strange, because I’m used to waiting for more than 10mins. So, on my way to church, the driver decided to give me an account of events, up to when he got the request from me . (As told by my uber driver) Amos* (not his real name) is driving to Ngong from Nairobi CBD at 3 a.m. Inside his car is a couple, a lady in her mid thirties, and a…More

Right now as I am writing this there are two messages in my phone from friends and both are seeking financial help from me. I am not a financial institution and to spice it up, I am not in any salaried job. I want to reply the messages in the most polite way without hurting any of them. Now that its January, guess what I will tell them. Who doesn’t know January is a hard month? Because everyone is complaining that hakuna pesa! Hii ni January bro. Kumekauka. But deep inside,…More

Past December while enjoying the serene environment at home and spending quality time away from the heat of the city, I met an elderly neighbor of ours. We exchanged some few words but one thing remained constant. “Sammy, when are you getting married?” He asked me. I tried evading that question because, off course this is my life and nobody should tell me what to do and when. But that very question came haunting me when I bumped into my former high school classmate. He was with his lovely wife…More

Here we go again. Incase you forgot, today I’ve decided to remind you of these 7 very important lifehacks. Have a look. 1. Some people will come into your life, while others will leave. But that is a good thing. Sometimes, the people you care about most can leave you without any notice.

At the time of writing this blog, I’m a 26-year-old person. I’m writing it while in the middle of my 20s. I am a no better person and what I will write here is fetched from both my personal experiences/lessons and bits of advice I’ve received from my elderly friends. The 20s age bracket, especially 24-30, is such an intense period. Some people feel lost, one day you feeling so energetic for life, the next day you feel sick and confused about what your life is all about. Sometimes you…More

Stay Home, Stay Safe! I hope everyone is managing well during this challenging time. It’s been a real struggle staying at home, isn’t it? For those of you who are still working and sticking to your usual routines, consider yourselves lucky. But for the rest of us, what are we doing indoors? What’s really going on inside those houses? There’s been talk about domestic violence cases on the rise, but I find it hard to believe. After all, isn’t this the perfect time for families to bond, connect, and enjoy…More
