This is finally it… I dreamt about her!I saw her… felt her.I live for those days.This may actually qualify as one of my favorite days.You should have seen me in the morning all excited. I have not felt such a warm embrace like that. Meeting again, and all I felt was pure joy. It was […]
The last time we interacted, I shared a slight intro about the journey of the discovery of the self (https://sippingoncocktails.co.ke/2021/12/31/the-journey-of-discovering-the-self-part-1/). I had to read it again too, and now I smile as I finish it. (Taking a deep breath) So raw, that was and will be… I recognize that that part of me sits with […]
Let’s Catch Up… Truth is, life happened. Between focusing on my career and trying to keep the rest of my life above water, I wrote less. I thought more, reflected frequently, and actioned a lot. Today, as I was introducing myself and as I mentioned how my experiences have ‘built me different’, it made me […]
Choosing you is not difficult It may weigh on me sometimes But it is not difficult. I may be drowning But I would still choose to save us Us, because you are what I want Now, in the present Then, in the past Hopefully, in the future. Hard to understand why I wouldn’t call as […]
This is based on an ambivert’s personality. The social construct is made to appear easy.

In case you missed part 1 – https://sippingoncocktails.co.ke/2022/08/25/what-mama-never-told-you/, I got you. If you are already caught up, let’s get straight into it. The world is operating on a faulty balance, but you get what you deserve. Yap. Life is unfair. Better get used to it, but the good news is, it has its own way […]
My inconsistency is showing off, but we keep trying… In all honesty, writing is hard, especially for a public audience. Sharing your thoughts with people, more so, those that don’t understand you, is like walking with a strapped victim-operated IED, ready to be tripped by any unsettling perspective. My love for action and thriller movies […]
Intro There were survival nuggets planted in us as children. I am sure some of you have encountered phrases like “don’t talk to/accept anything from strangers” and even towards adulthood, the phrases evolved to “this is your life; avoid group mentality.” In our adulthood, these nuggets have become increasingly scarce in certain instances and more […]
Amani means peace. This was one of the frequent responses I received from her. Everyone must have a ‘her’ in their life and in my case I have more than one. First, before I start on this article, I would like to dedicate this piece to my friend, my student, my distant ‘mum’, our peace, […]
I have never told you this before but I have never been more in love with you than I am right now. I may not say it as often as I should, however, today I will shout it out for the whole world to hear. Yes, you, the most incredible, one-of-a-kind, human being to walk […]
