Just got the ick

Just got the ick

This guy doesn't like it when I do my hair. This is not the first time we're having a discussion about my hair and I've told him so many times that the reason why I like braiding it is bc it's really hard to maintain.

It's a long distance relationship and the last time he was in Kenya, he didn't want me wearing any makeup or get my hair done. We went on a couple of dates to fancy restaurants and I never felt so out of place: hair that had just been washed, no styling, no make up and jeans with a baggy tee 😭. He told me that he likes girls in their natural state 💀

We're seeing each other next week and I'm not so sure about it anymore. I don't want to constantly feel insecure.

Men Haters

Ladies that hate men please gather here and tell me why men ain’t shit because I have caught myself falling in love with this guy🤦🏽‍♀️.

I’m a mumu when I’m in love aki na this one hajareply text ya 2.00PM bado 😩😩.

I’m a girl that will shoot my shot with a guy I like and I did exactly this when I was tipsy yesterday na my friends wakaniacha nikiwa awake pekee yangu.

It’s a guy that liked me first from 2 years ago.

I was up at three am and all I could think about was him ❤️. Recently ran into him at Java nikiwa on a solo date and all I was thinking about was those 💪 guns. Yoooh I am almost so far gone with this one but I think maybe he may not like me as much now.

I straight up told him he has me up at night thinking about him and I am wildly attracted to him, he said he feels the same way and invited me over but like with non specifics ya date time and where.

Someone tell me to stop being male centered yooh cause I can’t help it.

Is it Just me, or is flirting awkward?

Ladies,

I hope you’re all well-rested and ready for a new week

I’d really appreciate your input on something. I’ve been out of the dating game for about two years now, and I feel like I’ve forgotten how to do this dating thing

Whenever I meet a man and he starts flirting, calling me sweet names, or giving me compliments, I find it so awkward and even a little cringe. I never know how to respond to his texts without feeling weird or wondering what I’m supposed to say.

Is this normal? Have any of you experienced this, and how did you get comfortable with receiving compliments and flirting back?

Someone asked me last week

What’s the secret of looking so young ? I thought you were my age mate . I didn’t have an answer so I copped out and said genes .

But today I looked at my shopping basket , drinks alone had Reload for rehydration and electrolytes and Booch Kombucha for my gut bacteria and wine for good times and also resveratrol for its antioxidant benefits and of course avoiding marej.

And maybe all my walks and my passion in my business and of course very supportive family. Anyway to conclude , I couldn’t say what my secret is , it is likely all of the above and maybe none of the above .

I love my life.

MENstration

Y’all know how a guy can dig your motherland until inamess na cycle yako? Like, utaanza tu kunyesha before days zako zifike. 😭

Sooo, I finished my period last week. Then we got intimate, and now I’ve started my period again. I can’t even handle the cramps, and I know he still wants to hit because he doesn’t mind period sex [neither do I]. 😭

My periods are usually irregular, so my worry is, is this going to happen every time even when I’ve just finished my period? 😭

Maintenance Week

Maintenance week is upon us. Hair, nails, lashes, waxing.

May the money be with you ladies.

Aky taking care of myself is expensive and hard😭, na pia skin care imeisha. Is this really the adulthood I used to envy as a kid. I used to envy girls who looked like they had their shit together, only to realize adulthood is just constantly budgeting in between looking good and surviving.

And the worst part is, once you start, you can't just stop. Because you know the effect of fresh braids, clean nails, soft skin and the coochie looking and feeling like a glazed donut.

Anyway, may our bank accounts survive maintenance week. Ama nitafute sponsor wa maintenance week 😭😂.

Have a nice weekend ladies😚

I'm so tired!I give up!

I hate my life and if this is my last time being alive then I'll just spend it by ranting.I have noone else to talk to.I'm by myself and I hope that if my family finds this,my mom should know how much I tried to hold on.

I finished highschool in 2024 knowing that life would be much better,yk brighter days and everything.I struggled with my studies despite doing my level best to pass that kcpe exam and getting a chance to join moi girls school Nairobi with a partial scholarship.Even though I was a hard working kid, highschool did a number on me and I was too deep into depression but I had noone to help me out.My family was experiencing other problems and I just didn't want to add to them bcoz noone would care about my mental health anyways.Everyone was so focused on my big sister who had been able to go to university due to her luck but not how she performed.At the end, everyone forgot about me.

I had to pull myself out of that darkness alone.Tried making friends....noone wanted to be my friend bcoz of the social class and shit.I managed to pull myself together for my family but it was too late.I could've gotten a good grade if I would have been okay...I got a B-.After that,we lost our house due to floods so our family had to relocate to ushago.I still wanted to change my life andy families life so I stayed with my first big sister who was married and had kids.Life wasn't easy but I assured myself that atleast I'll be going to university.

Well,long story short....I never joined university.So I watched as the girls I studied with join it.I felt bad and I still do.It just broke me that there was no way I could join like the others.I still had hope and wanted to go to a polytechnic institute and it still failed.Tried finding a job...failed.The only jobs I found were the mjengo ones,being a house maid where I was frequently harassed,worked in those kibandaskis.

After some time,things weren't that okay with my first big sister and she made it clear that she doesn't want me in her house since her kidds don't feel comfortable with me staying there so she told me to move out.

I went to my second big sister the one who had gone to university who had now secured a job,to stay with her for some time till I get another house help job.Sje agreed and even though I still helped with the small bills like we agreed since that was what I could afford,she wasn't that nice.Am still staying with her,I don't have a job,I do all the work in the house even though to her, that's still not enough,she mentally abuses me whenever she's in a bad mood which is everyday.She makes sure I know how much she's better than me and how she can't wait for me to move out.And everytime I just wish I would have the strength to just kill myself but I don't know,I get scared everytime even when I've already got things ready.

I feel like I'm a burden to the people around me.I don't want to stress my parents coz my dad had an accident just recently while working in our ushago farm.He may never walk again and everyone is already stressed out.So this is my story.I tried.... God knows I tried.The number of nights I cried myself to sleep.The number of times I told myself there'll be brighter days.The number of times I held on.But it's too hard...I really really tried my best and if this is my last fight....I want my mom to know that I tried but the world just didn't have a place for me.

Am sorry for making this way too long and if you read up to here,I want to say thank you for listening to me.That's an achievement for me.... someone listened.Thank you.

I want to curse and bewitch him

I think I’ve been reading too much about the Cornell 7 case. It has triggered horrible memories of the ex who hurt me. It started on the second day of campus and kept happening for months until I left. I was so sheltered and naive I didn’t even know what was happening to me every night was wrong. I was in a fog for years. I didn’t realise it until I saw a therapist for severe depression years later.

I’ve had him blocked for years. He tried to call me randomly a few months ago. I was up all night and cried about it to my best friend.

I have no proof. He’s moving in powerful circles. I’m scared of what could happen if I speak.

I want to curse him. I’m not even a religious or spiritual person. Perhaps this is an expression of my feelings of hopelessness. If anyone has the ability to summon spirits, please curse him for me.
