Ever met with an old jumpy, screamy classmate especially from your
high school days in the streets, and
wished for the earth to swallow you
probably save you from the agony? Whuuuh! Long sentence! But yea I have. It was the longest evening I ever had.
So me av left jobo vizuri am walking
in the streets without a problem with
anyone except I get disturbed by a commotion on Taifa Road somebody decided to
park his car without reading city council's commandments and is being towed
away so me am like 'mmmhhh guy you gotta problem' apart from that am all
good humming into one of my favorite
hymns .....tis so sweet to trust in Jesus.... lifes actually good until someone
decides screaming my name in town is better than not screaming. So me I look up
'Sarah Munyiiiiii' she goes, that's the second time by the way. Eh maze unakaa
firi unadunga works nini!!!
Kubanjukaaaa. At this point agony started raining hard on me. First of all that
kind of sheng for a chicka aih I refuse it in my life. Secondly, Kubanjukaa?
Really? Okay I loved dancing 💃in high school I still do but I call it salsa,tango yea
like that. So anyways am also happy to meet her after 11years since leaving
high school. So how've you been, what do you do now,I ask. She goes like, Eh
maze niko poa ma-jamse' okay that's like saying jam session I don't know
tribeka, there's anaa hot joint for clubbing at Thika Road. At this point
I black out like totally. I've never
seen the inside of a club in town I know about churches. Then she notices am
not excited she's like acha kuboeka she's actually giving me a plan for the
evening.
Am thinking how do people live like
that, okay in high school we were all jumpy and careless but mostly that was to
belong to a 'strata' not who we really were I
moved on I left that person in high school. I got serious in life am
more responsible, am more careful, I don't just live for the moment I think
ahead, I plan ahead. I have learnt that choices have consequences and that I
have to live with the decisions I make. I moved on to maturity I CHANGED or I
GREW UP!
There are things I wish I did
differently 11years ago in high school I would be very far in life
socially,financially,emotionally name it. I found a very interesting quote by
C.S. Lewis that stopped me...Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is
different'? To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life
has taken?
This is the reality check. If you want to have
something you've never had you have to do something you've never done. You have
to CHANGE your way of doing things. You have to change your day's program if
you want to remember what you do Today 11 years from now. And if you don't, you
will probably look back 11 years ago and find out that everything is different
and you can only wish like me that you had done things differently. Take charge
now!
Decisions are being made right now.
The question is:Are you making them for yourself or are you letting others make
them for you?
