First attempt

First attempt. Should I serve my greetings with the usual "hey guys it's your girl Hanifa with her first work" or go with the hi that has 5is that make it friendly and welcoming or just go the old way and say that I hope this post finds you in the best of health, the best of sanity and the best of mental health -of course this couldn't be forgotten, mental health . Before I start, I want to make it certain that a good read doesn't have to be coated with jargons and splashed around with life threatening sentences to the Queen's language. Soo,what do I talk about? Love? Friendship or life in general?


Life. Define life. Where are you now? Can you hear me? How was the fight with your demons today? Did you win or did you compromise? Are you friends with some of your demons? Do they tire you out or you got tired and realized at the end of the day they're still all you got?  Your demons bore you now, you sit with them quietly and it gets comfortable. Do you still see your friends getting ahead in life and you think you're stuck? Do you still question your credibility towards life? Has life life served you with too many lemons and you're bad at making lemonades? There's what we call time zone. That space that you fill with envy jealousy and many why's and ifs when you see people going ahead in life could actually be filled with gratitude ,Hardwork and perseverance !Be happy for people when you see them getting out of situations you probably think would've killed you. No one has an easy life,we all struggle in our own ways. Your mind is what you feed it. GIGO remember ?Garbage In Garbage Out or do I need to help you sue your computer teacher? I'll leave it here with Paulo Coelho's famous quote from one of his best work-The Alchemist.  "When you want something, the whole world conspires to help you achieve it"

Love. Define love. Are you still over your ex? Are you friends with your ex? How long did it take you to get over them? Are YOLOing?  How is it taking you? Are you single and happy? Single and searching? Single but getting tempted? Are you tired of people asking you why you're single? (I'll tell you a little secret here about the method of response I use-tell them that just recently you saw a guy with his girl in town holding hands and behold the guy was actually stealing glimpses and stares at you. )I mean how? Why? Winking?  With your gilr there? What if she throws acid at me?
Are you in a relationship where you're in love with yourself only? Don't worry our African Michael Jackson aka Simba aka diamond is also in love with himuselfu despite being in a relationship with our own, Tanasha-i mean we can clearly tell through the hard tried relationship stunts they pull. The looks just don't add up do they? Why isn't Tanasha looking at diamond the way you look at that piece of mutura ,spiced up with firfiri and dipped in kaachumbari? Why doesn't the relationship feel like the first KDF you tasted with youghgut and added tea and couldn't eat for the next few days? The relationship it had with your stomach and digestion!!  Can't be matched!

Are you tired and annoyed of these overrated lovebirds? Like you're in town, late for the lecture with a lecturer that's almost giving up on you because of your late comings and poor attendance and don't want to mess it up but these annoying couples are everywhere holding hands and blocking the way! Like why today?? A part of you wants to shout and tell these Romeo-Juliet wannabes how irking they are and how they look like nincompoops in love but you just swallow it and wonder why you have to get late for class and to add salt to the wound they look cute don't they? So you just take your time and wonder if you're a child of a lesser god(pun intended)

Are you among the "Wivu chronicles?" the mtaachana tu chamas?  Lol look at you, you little godfather child with a grown adult version of Health Ledger. Lakini wataachana tu!!

With all that said, it was me checking up on y'all. Lemme leave you all with Paulo's archived treasures from Zahir-I have so many favorite writers but Paulo has always been my first, like my first trigger of the bibliophile in me.

"People give flowers as presents because flowers represent the true meaning of love and anyone who tries to posses it will watch its beauty fade away. And that's what the forest has taught me, that you will never be mine and that's why I will never lose you "
