“Things that fascinate me might come off as very mundane. But again, that’s just me okay.”
I started writing, then I was told that there was a Christmas choral performance and I had to run for that. I loooove holidays. I mostly thrive in December.
Okay so here goes…….
I’d be damned if I said no!
I have a few but I’ll fill you in on about one. I am a country girl. Things that fascinate me might come off as very mundane. But again, that’s just me okay.
So back in 2022 January, that was the first actual time I was going to be entirely far from home. It was daunting emotionally, but let’s not talk about that now. I have a history of telling a thousand different stories in one story haha!
Okay so back in 2022 I was to move to a place called Voi, Taita Taveta – Kenya.
I knew one girl from there whom I’d gotten acquainted with. And because technically I didn’t have any furniture or a house to begin with. I was to spend my first few days at her home, where she lived with her grandma. Cute innit? Yes. 😅.
So the village was called Sagalla. A whole definition of the place I dreamt of settling. It was cute. So cute.
It was hilly, and full of greenery.
The next morning, I woke up to pure blissfulness. The hills were misty. The freshest air I’ve ever woken up to. The homestead was a buzz of calming activities, I’m talking about milking the cows, feeding the chicken and sweeping the yard.
For a minute I was like, can I just send my letter of resignation before reporting, because I just had a moment of realization that probably that life right there was everything I’d ever wanted, to feel complete.
I think about Sagalla every so often. So clearly that makes it a favorite place. Okay cue “favourite girl by Darkoo” I guess this should work for now
I gotta run back to the Christmas chorals.
Shadow to my light.
