UNTITLED

And on those days
Where everything is in shades!
Nothing is crystal clear,
Everything wavy!
Nothing straight,
Everything stormy!
Nothing calm,
Everything sandwiched!
Nothing parallel

On those days,
Blur the noise,
Make a choice,
Find your voice,
Re-define yourself!
React to stimuli.
Adjust and adopt
You can't rule everyday!
You ain't perfections heir
Neither it's spare
You are you!
Rock and roll
Find title to your untitled life!
For everyday is a new dawn!
Full of possibilities 😉

Small Girl, Big America

Image
  Today is my second day in America. But it is the first day I have walked on the streets. Which, by the way, is very different from my hometown. While my hometown has a million people walking in every direction, conversing and laughing, I was the only pedestrian in the street! However, I am not complaining; I enjoyed the walk and came home with clean shoes, while a walk in my village would have resulted in washing red soil off the shoes for hours, and words have not been invented yet for my dislike of washing shoes. Anyways, I saw a cute "pick up after your pet sign on the walk" which made me think, are you picking the toys they leave behind when you are playing "catch," or do you clean up the poop on the pavement? I wanted to take a photo of the cute poster, but behind it was someone's car, and the number plate was visible. So, I got scared for a hot minute because what if that was trespassing? Yesterday I went to Target for shopping. I was keeping my host...

I Quite Miss Home

  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,...

Sonder in California

Image
  One thing I have learned in California is that a car is not a luxury item! It is a basic need! My first week here, I wanted to buy sodas; I walked for 46 minutes! 46 whole minutes! I saw the distance from Google Maps was 8 minutes; I assumed 8 minutes’ walk. Little did I know the 8 minutes was time for people driving. Do you know what those 8 minutes look like? It was like driving from Kitale town to Kiminini or Karen to Ngong! And I walked! At the end of the day, I was exhausted but proud of myself. I promised to buy a car as soon as possible.  But since I haven't bought a car yet and I need groceries, I guess I have to find alternatives, no? Wednesday 5.31pm The mall I am going to does not close until 11pm. So, I can actually leave for the mall in the evening. My Kenyan side is struggling so much to reconcile the fact that going to the mall at night is okay. In fact, not my Kenyan side; this is more of my father's daughter's side. One day, I was taking him a...
