NYUMBA NDOGO

This i how i choose to remember those three days. Like you were mine alone. Every waking moment, your gaze was solely on me. Am I a fool to romanticise it? I hope you felt the same way. I remember this one night….We just talked and flirted and told truths, and lied(read kupangwa) and thenContinue

QUEEN ELIZABETH II

I love old time story series and movies. The ones of kings and queens. Sometimes I think, if I I’m a reincarnation, I’m probably from that era. When I think about Liz, I think, colonialism and slavery and stolen diamonds and the series “the crown”. That is…she probably the reason we as Africa are theContinue

Who you are

… do you think this is what the bible meant ? Dont define yourself by your vices Dont measure your progress by how many steps back you take Dont judge people by what you have heard about them Dont stake your faith on other people beliefs Dont loose your music in other people’s melodies DontContinue

Heartbreak

My best friend broke my heart. She became who she said she was never gonna be. Maybe we both became what we never thought we could be. Maybe we all grew albeit separately. A feverish triumph. No winner .

Random thoughts

I just want to be able to write again.

Mr. Sir

Two things. I am titillated by …one, that in this situation you are superior and two, by how smart you are. …its also how you breathe on my neck when you show me something on my computer and yes I can feel your knee grazing on mine when you sit next to me. You areContinue

The little miracle at the bustop. Today after work i had to decide whether to get a matatu at westlands stage or to wait for kileton buses at 14th riverside. I chose the latter. Obviously this was going to be shorter and less walking. So i wait. tik tok. Its now been half an hour. All matatus are coming in full. Today they are actually folling rules so no excess passengers. We are all tired . It’s now a game of survival for the fittest. I have missed all 5 buses because i am lightskin and i cannot for the love of God time properly where the bus will stop. I give up and stand at the back. Sasa whatever gappens happens. Nimeachia mungu(I’ve left it to God). I actually say a small prayer. The strangest thing happens. This matatu has only one space. The tout points at me and says “huyu ndiye atapanda.” Everyone has to watch me walk. Those who were scrumbling at the door move to excuse her highness madam privilege. I am in shock. What did i do to deserve this. Turns out he had mistaken me for someone he know….nonetheless that was my small miracle.

Story time

I have fallen in love with green. Adulting. Let me tell you maina, the way this pandemic is set up , with the lockdown and working two jobs and adulting , there is really not much time left for yourself. So last week saturday, my form of selcare was going to the grocery store, toContinue

Magufuli

I dont really know much about the man. What i actually know is that he burnt kenyan chickens for reasons that we cannot since remember, he denied covid, he made very good speeches and tried his best to fight corruption, which is saying alot for an African leader. A white hat. An ignorant and dictatoralContinue
