The Unfolding Scars

Photo courtesy of Savannah Class / Unsplash For the longest time, I have put on a face, tried to look okay, and found comfort in self-development articles. Well today, I just realize there is just some internal damage resting inside that erupts in the worst moments of life. Have you heard of this person who just finds peace in solitude, always staying locked at home, with a mirror as a best friend and comfort? That's a self-description. And just as a friend, there are days you don't get along with the image on the other side of the mirror. So, there I sit looking at the image on the other side of the mirror. Most times I see potential in the person but other times, it just shows how broken the person is. Your smile does crazy things with it but shows no sympathy when you are at the worst. However, I tend to believe I am my best comfort. Other than the mirror is a mind always racing with thoughts and fantasies. Filled with words and events in reality I cannot do. At some point, ...

MEMOIR. (GRADUATION)

As you have or might have heard of "memoir", it means diary or record of events. And so I am putting out a record on a lifelong marking. It so happened that during this time I had stopped writing, one of the things that occupied me was my graduation!!. This was just an exhilarating moment for me. This was on 20th of November, 2020.

 


With the pandemic, not much could be done. With all the economic and social effects it had caused, there was no chance of holding an event. However, the little I was able to do, gave me a huge thrill. Those of you who have gone through this phase in life can attest, and those who are heading there I will let you experience it then. For now, I will just give you a taste of it. I just can't imagine how great it would be if there was an event for it. 

So my friends and I went for a shoot, a kind of celebration unique in its way. We had fun and made the best out of the day.  A journey is surely fascinating when you share it with those whom you've been with through the same path.

The reason I am journaling this is simply to keep memories, and not only memories but precious memories. This yet goes beyond recalls, to marking of an important milestone in my life, and also recognizing the great blessing from Above. 

I still have further steps to take in terms of education and also putting my now achievement into practice in the corporate world. All in all, it's about giving thanks and cherishing these important steps in life.


The joy of being in that gown☺😄


Shoot with friends at Arboretum, Nairobi.

TAKE-OUT: Cherish your achievements, milestones, and the beautiful memories you make. They give us hope and courage to move on in saddened times. Memories are great and the thrill is what makes life beautiful.

My Latest Travel Experience

  Adventure at Camp Ndunda As I sat on my bed thinking of what to publish in my next post, I couldn’t help but obey the after-effects of my excursion last weekend. The experience was so captivating that I thought it would be best to put it on record. So, my friends and I went camping at Camp Ndunda Falls in Embu from Friday to Sunday. This was my first camping trip. It was also in honor of a friend's birthday. Simply a whole weekend with friends out there experiencing nature. It was one of a kind. We set off in the afternoon and arrived at around 7 pm. The reception right from the gate was at its best. Upon checking in, they did not waste time to give us a guide to help us settle; that is, to our tents, setting us a bonfire and leading us to where we had our supper. Talking of supper, they have flavorful meals to die for, especially their platters. We then got ourselves psyched out for the weekend by jamming into some of our playlists and around a bonfire to sway the night aw...

3 Songs I Can't Get out of My Mind

Photo by Elice Moore from Unsplash.com Music is part of life and a kind of a free lifestyle anyone can access. The rhymes and beats ringing in our minds have a special kind of peace, relaxation, and refreshment . These effects of music trigger one to turn on their playlists or radio while cooking, cleaning, or doing other manual work, or while sitting alone in a vehicle traveling, when bored, among others. The thrill and enchantment help boost mood. Alongside that, the music carries important messages as most artists speak their minds in their songs. About 68 percent of adults aged 18-34 years old listen to music every day. I have come up with a list of 3 songs I can't get out of my mind for like a month. These songs are not particularly new but have a special place in my heart. 1. Déjà vu by Naika  Déjà vu  is on top of my list. I heard a clip of this song a few months ago, but I just passed through it. I came across the artist, Naika , and the entire piece recently, and oh...
