This thing called love


I read this somewhere, '' Unless it's mad, passionate, or extraordinary love, it's a waste of your time. There are too many mediocre things in life: love shouldn't be one of them.'' I totally agree with the author. The things love makes you do, say, imagine or risk are amazing. That is my true defination of love, where you literally breath because the other person exists. Love is sweet, it hurts sometimes but today we are not talking about hurting, no..we going to be all about the sweetness that comes along with love.
   When you are in love you wake up and the first person on your mind is him/her. You automatically smile and picture them right there beside you. You never forget to say thank you Lord for a new day because love makes you alive. Before you wake up, thoughts of time spent together cross your mind and you go over your shared photo albums over and over...just smilling. The connection is right there in the memories, they make you glow and look forward to future memories.
   Love is amazing because all of a sudden someone you did not know existed, you probably had never seen or imagined them is here and your world ain't rotating without them. You are willing to risk it all for them as long as it makes them happy. Age, color, size, height, voice, distance, tribe, name it, doesn't matter anymore. You forget you once said, ' Luhyia, fat guys, short girls,...bla bla bla,  suck'.No, they dont suck anymore, they are infact the most amazing thing that ever happened. That's true innocent love and it is not abnormal. A negative word from your lover sinks your day, you would be confused and worried the whole time, wear opposite socks, stain your dress with breakfast, miss the bus and even fail your paper. Yes that is love. Some people call it stupid love but I call it just love. I tend to think that is how God designed it to be, I wonder who or what spoilt it.
   Here I am echoing the author up there, if its mediocre love filled with so much pain, worry, bitterness and all the negativity then it is'nt worth it. When you meet someone who completes your world and makes you better then travel that journey with them it is worth it. What is the point of life anyway? Work so hard all your life then? Success and joy is not sweet unless it is shared. It doesn't have to be between boyfriend and girlfriend but also when you love your parents, brothers, sisters, kids and friends that way, your life is complete.
    Cheers to love, cheers to all love birds.

MY LIFE IN CAMPUS- CAMPUS LESSONS {PART 3/3}

11 years ago, I wanted to become an engineer when I grow up. I did not know exactly what engineering entailed and how I would get there but I knew for me to be one I had to study really hard. Well my dreams were and still are valid. 11 years later as I finish my undergraduate studies I have a very important lesson to take home from one of my lectures, Prof Kiema. He said, it does not matter what you do, what matters is how you do it. You can’t possibly go through an institution for all these years and fail to pick up important lessons to last you a lifetime. My most important life lessons were picked here, my best characters were shaped here as well, be my guest; Campus taught me how to relate to people, those I like and those I don’t. It taught me I don’t have to like someone to respect them; respect is for all, friends and strangers.   I learnt that anything that has a beginning always has an end. Just like finishing campus, all other aspects of life have beginnings...

MY LIFE IN CAMPUS {PART 1/3}

Just like that, it’s over! (Read oveeeeeeeeer!). Honestly it does not feel like five years are gone already. Time sure flies. I still remember how young, fragile and innocent I was when I walked into Stella Awinja hostel for my first year in campus. I would say I was mature and responsible though, I brought myself to campus most people don’t.   Then papa came to check on me later and brought my luggage and I remember him questioning the custodians why I had to share a room with five other ladies yet the forms clearly stated sharing two. Best daddy ever, he cared enough to know where his daughter was going to live. Sharing a room with five other adorable ladies turned out to be the best thing. I made friends that will forever remain my friends both in their presence and absence. The many Luhyia songs and ohangla dances done in that room, sweet old memories. Shout out to Brenda Nanjala, Rhoda Odongo, Sylvia Awori and Merlene Ndolo, I miss and love you lovely ladies. You made my...

The man every woman wants

I am not married, we may say I don't have experience but i definitely know the kind of man every woman wants because I am a woman. Women like feeling special and pampered, it is in us. Those lovely compliments, sincere appreciation and sweet words warm our hearts. Yes we are special for sure hence we deserve to feel equally or more special. When a woman meets that gentleman who makes her feel special than any other person around her, you can be rest assured she will make you feel triple special in return. A woman is like a kid, however learned or experienced she is, she would not resist a good sense of direction. No woman wants to have man who is not concerned any inch about what goes on in her career field/business. We all admire men who make us better in our careers and ambitions. By making her better I mean knowing what goes on in her business, having two or three compliments about it,  practically assisting with ideas and getting things done if need be. Anything supportive ...
