Tell me why you fell asleep ten minutes ago and I am longing for you like a dragon longs for the open air? Tell me why I have spent the whole day talking to you, and the minute I stop, I feel like a piece has been forcefully yanked from my heart and the place that was filled with joy and happiness has been replaced with nostalgia. Is this what having a boy crush does to someone ? Or is it just me quite missing home? I think it is both. I have been listening to Bradley Cooper today over and over. And he sang, tell me something girl, are you happy in this modern world? Or do you need more? Is there something you are searching for? And tell you what my precious, I am happy in this modern world. I am happy that even though I am oceans and mountains away, I still get to see you. I still get to hear your voice. I still get to sleep with you on the other side. I still get to share a meal with you. Now is that perfect, no. But it is ideal. You know what was perfect? Mornings we wo...
Man! Rejections suck! You would think that after these many years on planet Earth and those situationships that shaped our characters more than a corset does women’s bodies, we will know how to deal with rejections. But lo and behold! Here we are. Yesterday, my friend R told me that our generation faces more rejection than any other generation before us. Now, I could not argue with that fact because I got 8 rejections just yesterday. And Lemme tell you Maina, a “we need to talk” text from your partner has not nothing on “we regret to inform you that we will not be proceeding with your application at this time.” With your partner, you know the exact buttons to press to salvage the situation, but with a potential employee, you have nothing! Especially because I imagine you did everything you had to do before the application! You read the JD, edited your resume, and even wrote in your cover letter that you worked well under pressure. Which by the way I am curious, why do we gl...
So, it's 12.07 am. If our world was still the same as 3 months ago, you would be dragging me to bed right about now. I would complain how much you are a sleepy head, and you'd remind me I would love the head ad get if we went to bed. I would get excited and run to bed. Only to realize I did not refill the water bottle in the morning, you'd go get some just because you know I can't sleep dehydrated. By the time you'd be back, I’d be all covered up and you'd tickle me and I would laugh, laugh so hard that the upstairs neighbor would give me funny looks in the morning. Btw that one time I went to get the orange hair dye she asked me "huyo mtu wako mpole ni mfunny?" It's 12:22 am. I would be lying on your arms. Looking at the ceiling board panting like a pregnant gazelle. You would wrap your hands around me and I would take advantage of that opportunity and attack you. I would win this round! I always won the last and first round; in your words,...
