I LOVE THE DRAMA, I HATE THE LIES

Politics I have nothing against it and I have everything to say about it. The first time I did vote I was all excited about it(maybe cause I went to an embassy to vote), exercising my rights and all that stuff felt so good…but when I think things through two years down the line I know I had no clue of what exactly I was doing. Kenyan elections 2013 ,that’s when I got a bit of insight into the political web. I keep away from any political views ,first cause am no expert and second cause I am not a politician(I don’t talk much ) and third ,cause my mama told me not to get married to a politician.

I may not be Kenyan but my life’s in Kenya and its like home to me…so I had to be concerned when CNN started all sort of rumours about tribal wars.Staying indoors hoping nothing erupts, hearing everyone preach peace as if a war will erupt at any time if the P word wasn’t said!Anxious times,and I blame it all on politics!!

My point of view:

Politics runs the world,no matter how much it’s denied.Everything is a political game, a mind game.It all comes down to how words are put.Words turn into actions,even if those words are based on lies.Politics is a power game,cause once you are at the top ,then you got power over people. Politics= people+ power.

But without politics,this world would be a boring place.The drama that we call poltics gives us something to think about and a bit of entertainment too( I call it a soap opera without all the tears)One more thing,politics keeps us in check, there has to be a leader and followers,and politics provides exactly that!

The Man That Made Me Believe In Impossibilities

How do I write about a man whose loud presence can’t be ignored? How do I begin to describe a man whose life should be written down in volumes of books, a man whose battles and achievements could literally make you wonder why you have never tried out that daredevil in you? A man whose blind faith and roaring spirit will leave you believing that anything is possible, as long as you just do it! I have never written down anything much about my father, mostly because words won’t do him justice and because you need to experience him to actually know who he is. He is tough, he is loud, he is sharp and witty, he never gives up and he is simply my papa. I know I will never get it right when it comes to the adjectives that could describe papa, mostly because he is more than words. He’s the man who’s taught me to live in the moment, because we can’t really trust the future. A man who’s taught me to be witty, because sometimes you have to outdo the book smarts to survive. A man who’s ta...

Big Girls Don't Cry

Nothing kills me more softly than saying goodbye. There's nothing good in goodbye, and there never will be. It's my humble request to revise this English word. It's easy to say goodbye but the feeling that comes with it is a like a slow blow to the heart. I may be exaggerating the description, but truth be told, saying goodbye is hard for me. Case in point, 8 years ago, I began a tradition that I thought would make this heart of mine tough enough to withstand the pains of goodbye. I could never stand the thought of saying goodbye to my sister at the airport. I was always the one person left behind at home while everyone else escorted her. The sight of seeing her climb up the boarding stairs made the goodbye more real!! She was leaving me!!! In retrospect, my actions didn't make sense because I still said my goodbye at home. Lucky for me, no one bothered with my decision to stay. BooHoo!! I'm all grown up now and I wish I had been there ti...

It don't matter if you're black or white...

" I AM NOT MY HAIR" ...."It DON'T MATTER IF YOU'RE BLACK OR WHITE" these are the words to two songs that have been replaying in my head since last week's The Trend Show with Larry Madowo.Social media was a buzz with Vera's interview and her confident proclamation of her body being her business ( makes you think what she really meant by 'business') In all honesty, am no fan of hers, but the interview and all the comments made online about it, gave me a lot to reflect on which led to an interesting conversation with Rodney Onyango.His take on the matter gave me new perspective and i admit, it kept me from being too judgemental.For more of his ideas, check out his link The Spectator Someone must really hate being black.50million! I could think of 50 million ways to spend that cash other than changing the colour of my skin.Anyway, who am i to judge when it's clear that we have different priorities, needs, wants and skin preference...
