The Duality of Woman

There I was, four hours into a “scenic” road trip through the Great Rift Valley. What was meant to be a smooth cruise to Naivasha had turned into a four-hour test of patience involving slow-moving lorries and the inevitable. I’d cracked my “Passenger Princess” soju a bit too early, the traffic was at a standstill near Maai Mahiu, and there wasn’t a clean petrol station in sight. As I eyed the acacia trees and wondered if I could hover over a patch of grass without being spotted by a passing matatu, the thought hit me: Ugh, I hate being a woman.

Are you truly worthy of love?

Are you truly worthy of love?

I recently had a conversation with some of my friends and asked them what makes them feel the most pursued by a man? The overwhelming response was: when they have clear intentions, ask questions, are intentional with planning, follow through with actions, and make an effort. I gathered that women want to feel seen and valued by a man. So why are we settling for anything less? Why are we falling for minimal effort and interactions with men who do not possess these qualities? Why are we ‘confused’ about a man’s pursuit when we should be enlightened by their lack of pursuit and realize they aren’t into us?

A FEW LIFE LESSONS TO LIVE BY.

A FEW LIFE LESSONS TO LIVE BY.

I’m really hoping to keep this momentum going with my blog. I really do enjoy sharing my favorite fashion picks, sharing words of wisdom that can improve our quality of life among other topics etc. The feedback has been so amazing and I appreciate each one of your for always finding sometime to pop in here. One thing that really stood out for me in 2023 was how we’re constantly finding ourselves sub-consciously & consciously giving in into the noise of what the society expects of us and from us. Seeing that I’m very passionate about demystifying some of these nuances that no longer make sense in order to live a happy and fulfilling life, I felt it was important for us to get into 2024 with a completely different or improved mindset. Let’s get into it ladies and gents 🙂

TAKING STOCK, THIRTY ONE.

TAKING STOCK, THIRTY ONE.

Taking stock is essential. I look at it as a way of thanksgiving as we wrap up the year. Many are times we get caught up and forget to slow down to reflect and appreciate how far we’ve come. Taking stock also enables us see where we have fallen short and gives us an opportunity to reflect on how we can do better. Let’s get into it  & take stock!
