How do you plan your goals?

I get so caught up in over planning. Like a loop of over planning and over analyzing.

I have things I know I should achieve eventually, but lately I kind of just try to live everyday as it comes, ensuring that at the end of the day I did at least one wholesome thing. I know to many it might come off as a reckless way of going through life but that’s how I am managing lately.

Create an emergency preparedness plan.

No honestly today’s prompt sounds a little too serious and I just do not know how to be serious like that.

So I’ll pass this one.

What is a word you feel that too many people use?

It’s the latest descriptive verb. It has stayed around for a while and honestly almost everyone uses it 😂.

I have this friend who really resents that word but somehow she just can’t help it, it almost always happens subconsciously. You just find yourself throwing the word around.

“it’s giving a weird vibe”

I know a lot of  chaos in my life in the past was a result of me not being myself to the core.

I’ve thought so hard about this. It’s almost like inside my heart I genuinely know what entirely brings me peace, but putting it into words like this is more like a puzzle.

At my big age though, I know a lot of chaos in my life in the past was a result of me not being myself to the core. Hiding parts of me really did rounds on me.

So what brings me peace is me being entirely myself to the core. That’s my straight path for me to journey towards understanding myself, those around me and my surroundings.

What profession do you admire most and why?

I genuinely admire therapists.

The aspect of just sitting and listening to other people, helping them sort through their thoughts, traumas and struggles just makes me appreciate this profession big time.

If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?

Definitely a gift shop. Picture a gift shop full of antique goodies. Very colorful. Full of life, then alongside it flowers. I mean what is a gift shop minus flowers. Then outside, it’s a cute botanical garden. A whole definition of good energy.

What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?

Well aside from my phone, which is pretty much obvious, there’s a reason as to why I always choose kindness, plus it doesn’t cost a thing.

And my hanky because, I have weird and annoying allergies.

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

To make people know that they can thrive in being their authentic selves.

There’s nothing as awesome as being truly yourself.

What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it?

This is by far the most hilarious prompt.

“eventually you just must learn how to show up for yourself appropriately.”

For context, I love my country so much. I am really proud to be a Kenyan.

A little over a month ago, something I would call a revolution erupted. My people had been quiet for so long.

The government would wake up and come up with insane and punitive policies and most of the time, the impunity would be received with silence.

The straw that broke the camel’s back was the latest finance Bill. It started like a mere hashtag on the socials, it read “rejectfinancebill“.  Personally, I tend to be really ignorant when it comes to such matters.

In my head I figured it was just going to run over for maybe a week and it will all be forgotten. Boy was I wrong! The opposite happened. It just kept gaining an insane momentum.

In between all that, it came to me that acting all ignorant and unbothered about such things, I was being unfair to my nation and my fellow Kenyans who were out there pushing and fighting for our country. I decided to enlighten myself a little.

It is sad that a lot of innocent lives were lost in the process. They will forever be our heroes. But it was such an awakening. There’s a powerful force that emerges when people decide to get over their ignorance.

Eventually the government had to pay attention to its citizens. People were not relenting. It was enough of being taken for granted.

It was very hilarious to watch the government fumbling and going on and on about someone funding the protests. Literally our own government was astounded by how enlightened everyone had become.

For a long while it almost felt like, us, the people of Kenya had been moving on autopilot. Blind to all the unfairness we were being subjected to. We had to wake up eventually.

That has literally been my case for a long while. Moving on autopilot. It got to a point where I got really tired and I literally had to step up for myself. I realized, no one else was going to fight for me. I literally had to get over moving through life casually like it meant nothing. So I summoned myself and I had to protest against ruining my own beautiful life.

Cheers.
