Embarrassment

Being understood or Being accepted
On the back of so many conflicts and misunderstandings with my peers, I always felt like the issue was miscommunication. I thought to myself that maybe I am not expressing myself in the right way, maybe my communication isn’t the best and so this person isn’t able to understand me. I tried my best to communicate my ideas with much more clarity every time, whether they were political views or my opinions on how I think things should be done in a project. Unfortunately, every attempt led to just more debate, and inevitably an argument ensued. With time I have come to understand that it isn’t a problem of miscommunication, the other person understands me and what I am saying but they prefer to be at odds with me.

Love Yourself: The Greatest Task of Your Life
Love Yourself: The Greatest Task of Your Life Your life is a beautiful story where you are the protagonist. However, in the hustle of fulfilling responsibilities and meeting the expectations of others, we often lose sight of ourselves. In this endless race, our feelings, joys, and needs take a backseat. Do you ever pause and ask yourself, “Am I truly happy?” For most of us, this question doesn’t find its way into our busy lives, let alone its answer. This realisation reveals a harsh truth — we’ve forgotten who we truly are.

Do you have Herpes?
Are you part of the sexual revolution? Do you like swinging and changing sexual partners often? Do you find monogamy boring? Did you divorce your spouse for a sexless marriage? Did you cheat on your spouse because they didn't turn you on anymore? Hey, what year is it? 2025? It's been over 60 years since the Hippies taught us all about "free love" and that shame was just nonsense presented by the church and haters so that they could fill the schools with poor abused children. Who cares about single mothers? They're just hit and run cases and a plague on society. Abortions are so much more cost effective to the government. Do you have an STD? Have you ever experienced one, like Herpes? I have. Yes, I'm infected. I have Herpes, and let me tell you something - Herpes is better than Jail. What kind of comparison is that? Well, some people are afraid of jail, but not STD's. Since I know about both, I just want to tell you, yes, Jail is worse than Herpes. Herpes outbreaks (blisters on your lips or privates) hurt only for a few days. Jail takes longer and court is like hell. Herpes is better.

Accepting Your Mistakes
Accepting Your Mistakes Mistakes are an inseparable part of life. Every individual makes mistakes, as they often mark the beginning of a learning journey. However, how many of us have the courage to admit them? Often, we try to hide our errors or blame others instead of accepting them. This approach, however, only deceives ourselves. The true mark of humanity lies in acknowledging one's mistakes, which is also the foundation of genuine wisdom.

MEN ARE NOT UNGRATEFUL AS WE THINK.
INTRODUCTION: Do you think men are ungrateful as we think? Do you believe that all men abondon their spouses when they make it in life? No. There are several reasons to that and today, I want to address one of the major. This content addresses one situation that make men leave their spouses when they make it in life.

Through The Bareness Of 2024- My Journey
Life in its brevity often feels burdensome, yearning for us to be free of all the turbulence that stirs up its breaths in our hearts. How beautiful would life be if we let go of pain, anger, sadness, grim! I wish we had built-in programming that would delete all the moments and experiences that stirred catastrophic fires and raged war and kindled and whooshed the fire within us simultaneously!

My Last Love Letter to You
My Love, I am writing this pre-emptively, as I already know the end has come. I was hoping you’d be my forever. At the seasoned age of 28, I am well aware we don’t always get what we want. The biggest, brightest, hottest stars always burn out the quickest. Cliché as it might be, I suppose the same could be said of our relationship.

12 Reminders for Year-End Reflection
It is that time of the year again when everyone posts how truly they have accomplished feats of success, competence, grit and determination. How magnificently their vision boards have manifested in the brilliance of their alluring existence! While it is a celebratory feat for all those who had a year that was filled with love and light, it is important to remember that the life projected on social media is the highlight of someone’s best days in the entirety of their existence. It is amazing for someone to put themselves out there and post their joy for life on their platform, but in the world where comparison is so normalised, I hope you remember life does not need to be aesthetically pleasing and swoon-worthy for it to be called a perfect life.

The Biggest Red Flag That I Have Noticed on the First Date
Electric Avenue is still a thriving street in Westlands, Nairobi. Lamps are lit indicating early evening, the brightness of the neon lights illuminating the crowds waiting for the night. The atmosphere is alive with the sound of people laughing, glasses clinking and music emanating from different bars and dancing clubs established alongside the road. It was here that I was on a proper first date with Zoe, the lady from the dating site whose description of herself as an ‘adventurer’ and a ‘lover of concerts’ caught my attention.

An ode to my journey
Remember the times when we would yearn for certain things and beings to foster their being into our lives, where what we wanted was so far-fetched, dreams that we found so unfathomable to forge their breaths in our lives? It is wondrous and almost astonishing how existence in the most unimaginable ways, how we fathom that something we can never live without, life always turns out for the better when we let go of what no longer serves us, of what we can no longer control or any experience, person, entity or situation that we outgrow in our existential being.

LORD, I’ve Messed Up…
Juliana Carros sat alone in her dimly lit apartment, her body trembling as she clutched a pillow to her chest. The weight of her decision pressed down on her like a heavy storm cloud, suffocating her spirit. Tears streamed down her face as she whispered into the stillness, her voice trembling with desperation.

I terminated my startup. Here's the real deal
I am announcing the closure of Zencape Health today. We have reached the conclusion of our journey after four years, two significant pivots, innumerable tests, tens of thousands of dollars in annual income, one app launch, thousands of patient encounters, and a multi-million dollar relationship with a prestigious hospital.
