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

In 2021 I have this friend from Nakuru, she is called W. We knew each other back in 2018. Funny thing is, there was a type of chemistry between us, but we were both dating. The next best thing we could be was friends. January 2021, W’s father passes on. Planning for burial and everything, she asks me to form a WhatsApp group for friends to contribute. People were sending money to her line, then forward me mpesa message so that I update kwa group. Good money was raised, around…More

Niko upperhill nimeitisha uber niende home. The uber driver says “coming”, and I wait. He arrives in 4 minutes, asks “Tunaenda wapi?” I say kahawa sugar. “Kaai, sikuwa nataka kuenda huko”. He cries. But nimeingia kwa gari, na yeye hangeuliza mahali naenda before akuje. Tunaenda kahawa sugar, or kahawa maziwa wherever. He doesn’t have an option. My driver is 60 something years old, that means road experience. So I get glued to my phone, opens WhatsApp and scrolls down through hundreds of unreplied messages. Kuna feeling of calmness msee hukuwa…More

2022 June I’ve done a project for a client, now waiting to be paid. Guess what they do? Disappear from the Internet, calls go unanswered, and I lose $400, just like that. Working virtually is not like you can go knocking on someone’s door and ask them which games they are playing. This is a person in another continent. You only know their voice and face. Nothing more. 18 days of intense writing and research, sleepless nights, gone to waste.. It messed me up mentally, I needed therapy, which meant…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

When I was in school, between 2016-2019 (I’m not going to be specific with the year, watu wengine watajijazia vitu haziko) I dated this fine girl for 3 months only šŸ˜…. The relationship was all bliss, she was an amazing person šŸ’Æ. To make things straight, we frequently touched on the uncomfortable topic of marriage (if I date someone, marriage has to be the end goal, if not, then wachana nayo). Our expectations, opinions and believes about marriage matched perfectly well until things escalated to another different level. Yes! We/I/she…More

People involve me in their group adventures, and I always decline, all the time. Perhaps by the end of this piece of story, you will understand why.. When I started writing for hivisasa back in 2019 pesa kidogo ikaanza kuingia, I knew I wanted to try this traveling thing, but I was clueless about HOW. It is while in such a confusion that a facebook friend did a poster on her fb stories, about an adventure in Kijabe, Rift valley. Mimi huyo nikaslide dm with enquiries concerning the adventure. She…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 doesnā€™t know January is a hard month? Because everyone is complaining that hakuna pesa!Ā 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

“Madame, my card. I am done.” Gerald says, for a second time. “Ooh sorry. Here it is.” Sofhia, who seems carried away by thoughts, hands over a card to Gerald. “And what’s your name again?” He asks as he puts the card into his wallet. “I am sofy.” Sofhia answers. Gerald produces a business card and hands it to her. “Here is my business card. I work with the CIC insurance group.” He says. Sofhia declines. “What is this for?” She asks. “Sorry, my name is Gerald. I thought we…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. The good thing is that people you donā€™t even know can enter your life without any notice and become someone you deeply care for. 2. Your ā€œnutritionā€ is not only what you put in your mouth. The…More

At the time of writing this blog, Iā€™m a 26-year-old person. Iā€™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 Iā€™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
