A huge shout-out to one Joy! This babe has really hyped me since I got back to writing. She’s read the other 5 posts and re-shared them on her WhatsApp status. That’s the vibe I’m here for, please! Imagine I’ve met her just once. She’s my favorite online friend😌.

Today is my nephew’s birthday. Happy Birthday Champez❤️. This one is a little boss in his own world. He’s shown me that children aren’t as dumb as we think they are. If anything, they are very smart, smarter than you, in some instances.

Now that we are here, do you ever wonder what impact you are leaving on children you interact with? I remember so many instances in my childhood that shaped me in one way or the other. What’s interesting is that the involved adults don’t remember a thing like that. At times it’s something they did or said to me, that when I ask them about it now, they genuinely don’t remember it.

You know children are very delicate beings. Their minds are still very fresh, so their earliest memories are imprinted on their minds for probably their whole life. I’m very cautious when interacting with children especially pre-teens and ages below. I would really hate to be the one that inflicted some sort of trauma on any child. You probably have come across a story online where the main character was hurt by a very random person or their relative and they still remember that scenario even 30 years later.

Children are also cute and the ones that totally understand and live the baby-girl/boy lifestyle. If the 3-wish genie showed up today, my first wish would be to re-live my 2nd to 4th years.

I’ve just remembered I didn’t tell you how my journaling journey is going; I’d promised to, a fortnight ago. Well, the journey ended even before it started😂. My first option was the Whatsapp group one. A very brilliant idea! But what would I happen if I changed phones?!? The second option was to get a journal and write on it. I’m so used to thinking before I write down anything, so using that mode of journaling would beat its purpose. Thinking of it, there’s a journaling app I’d heard a certain podcaster recommend. I don’t remember it, so if you know it please let me know. I’d prefer one that will allow me create voice notes.

My school’s fashion sense is the ghetto. The number of outfits I can actually get into school with, is quite small for someone that goes to school 6 out of 7 days. This morning I wore a ‘tight’ pant. It honestly wasn’t intentional, I’d just forgotten that I’d be going to school later on. A lot happened and I got to school way earlier than my evening lecture’s scheduled time. I had to pass time, just to allow the fashion cops to leave. The passing time involved strolling around the school and eating the elite snack that is smokie pasua.

Iriz whaririz gave me just the courage I needed to go face the cops. However, I low-key had my fingers crossed that I would not meet them, because life would be easier then. And voila, I didn’t come across any. Haki nilijiona bazu🤣. My joy was soon short-lived, because I got online and found that the class had been cancelled hours earlier. I’d been offline the whole day, so I didn’t see the class cancellation notice😭. Heh, all that struggle for nothing?!? Na kitu ilikuwa ikiniambia niingie whatsapp, but whomst am I!

I have been waiting for this weekend since the year began. Scrap that, I’ve been waiting since last year December. I definitely have a post dedicated to the events leading up to this weekend, next week. Watch out for that.

I’m struggling to wake up early, heh! And I really don’t like that I’m struggling. With each new day, I understand why in high school, we were being pushed to wake up early. If you are currently in high school and reading this, keep in mind that the waking up early doesn’t end there. As from next week Monday, I need to train myself to be an early bird. Late mornings are a bit too hectic for me to handle. Hold me accountable!

From my current read, I’m learning that one way to pick a habit and maintain it, is by creating a conducive environment for it. I’ve managed to create an environment for my writing and I love it. It is nothing sophisticated. The rain or fire crack sounds readily available on YouTube and a glass of water have helped me build that ideal environment. I never thought I’d need the sounds, but here I am, thoroughly enjoying my writing experience.

Random side note; I’m low-key hoping to unleash the tiktoker in me, this weekend.
