WALKING CHAOS

 


Okay Okay, I know it’s been long lakini hear me out. I have been diagnosed with some communicable disease called ‘procrastinare’ and if you might be knowing the remedy kindly drop it pale chini kwa comments.

Nikita Kering’. That’s the title or maybe I’ll change it. Now she has a new song that I don’t really relate with but still, I feel as though I have. ‘EX’ –

Cause I ain’t trynna be you’re Ex So don’t call me if you ain’t trynna

vibe on my wave

I’m on top of my game

I’m on my wave, I’m on my wave Yeah! So don’t call me if you ain’t trynna vibe

on my wave

I’m on top of my game

 

I suppose you all know we live in a generation that is infatuated by red flags but still you don’t feel like leaving that cocoon. You don’t want to spread your wings on some other guy and lighten up their world, but want to stay trapped and try to ‘fix’ them. I am not cut out for this hard work so I don’t think I am part of these persons or maybe I am but have fallen so far, I don’t know where I really am (heeh overthinking is bad).

 

But still, I have tasted love or maybe what I think love is. Not the biblical agape love but this other one, you know that messy one that TikTok says you have to argue every day to confirm you love each other. You know the one you want to make the other one say they love you first so that you can be the dominant one. Or maybe you don’t and I am here proving how toxic I might be. Well, ‘niliokoka’ so ladies this here is a ‘fixed man’.

 

Guys, I think I lost track of what I was talking about. Haiya, Nikita – Mimi this girl bugs me. She is the definition of how life is not fair (Well life doesn’t care if it is) but still her voice. I have listened to her songs a couple of times but this one right here had me engulfed from the minute the beat dropped. Inakaa I am advertising her music but hey if you wanted some new Kenyan music then I’d recommend her.

 

But she talks about the toxic traits that we have as a generation or maybe that’s what I gathered. You know what we do or maybe I am the only one. Treating her like an option ndio it doesn’t seem that you like her that much. Wanting to spend all your time with her lakini you also want to be as far away from her because you know love is a drug and once you get hooked you will need a couple of therapists to untangle whatever is going on in your shattered heart once it ends.

 

But you just can’t help it. Love or rather this generation’s idea of love is walking chaos (I think I just found my title). We are just a pair of chaotic teens who get their idea of love from social media and novels and once we get to a certain level and we don’t have the know-how to tackle the new challenge we opt to leave and try again with a new player. Seems like a good game where the final boss would be commitment with a dash of faithfulness. (This seems like a good idea, who wants to make a game about broken teens trying to fix each other,) I need to calm down.

 

What is real love or rather who said love was real? Because I really need answers or something I can compare what I think love is with it. For if we still refer a couple of suicidal kids (Romeo and Juliet) as a definition of love then we have issues as a generation. But hey this is a conversation that’s already been there but I haven’t heard of a solution so, if you have any enlighten yours truly.

 

Anyways, peace, love, and Nikita’s voice. Goodness, where are talents displayed so that I can choose what I want juu I still don’t know mine na I am seeing some prickly hairs growing on my chin.

SEB'S

Dearly Beloved, It's been six years since I said I'd watch this piece, La La Land. I've been afraid, though, afraid that it might become my life. A line reads that whoever is afraid of suffering is already suffering from what they fear, and clearly, I have become it.  Seb says that he is letting life hit him till it gets tired then he will hit back and that line made me laugh as life has been hitting me lately. A line reads that don't kick a man whose on the ground but life didn't get the memo since I've been receiving my daily share of kicks everyday. You know, life not being as I had envisioned it as a child. Be married at 25 and have cars and houses and horses and kids... and now I can barely follow through a movie as I need rest.  Mia and Seb are what I had and what I craved for so I understood their story. How both of them sought after their dreams and worked towards them but then life chose different trajectories for them and life seemed good but they were...

LIGHTNING

Mon Ami My beautiful morning dew, I have been dreaming about you lately. You know those dreams where I never quite get to see your face, yet your braids dance against the wind, your laughter fills my ears, my hand rests on your waist, and my lips find yours… only for reality to wake me to a life without you. It’s hard. Some days, I wish your nights felt as empty as mine without me by your side. Do you yearn for me as I do you? Or has life’s turmoil swallowed you whole, leaving no space to think of me, of us, of what we could become? I, for one, dream. I wish. I manifest. I imagine our time together will be heavenly, that you’ll: Hold me until we die Weather together the storms of life Won't always be sunshine Baby, we're blends of imperfection Give me your heart and soul Love me like you've never loved before Beautiful morning dew I'll be your shoulder to cry on to I have been growing, emotionally, mostly. I am learning to blend childishness with...

L'amour De Ma Vie!

Dearest Reader, Yesternight I lay beside a woman I desired. She was the embodiment of all I wanted but wasn't what I needed. It took me too long to realize that, though. I may have been so fixated on the idea of being with her that I lost myself in my own whims of what I thought I wanted.  Want and need always seem blurry to me. I always want things that make my heart race, and I chase after them, then realize that I just needed some peace of mind and slow music. But does that mean that I shouldn't chase after what I want? What if that want causes me more damage than I can handle and I finally break? Break because I have spent my years holding on to the hope that I will always be okay, as I walked on a tight leash and a single misstep would cause my death. I have all these fears of finding a good woman. Fears that have no basis since I do not know what a good woman is. Is a good woman someone who resembles my mother? Is a good woman someone whom I love that she loves me? Nah, I...
