I wake up early, 🌄
not ‘cause I’m chasing dreams,
but ‘cause hunger doesn’t snooze.
I step out with hope in one pocket,
and emptiness in the other.
Nairobi, be gentle today please.🙏
I’ve dropped CVs in places you can’t fathom.
I’ve prayed for calls that never came,
I’ve smiled in interviews like a CEO,
then walked home like an intern.😔
But still, I try again… Always.
I have loved honestly,♥️
I have been loved back, or so I thought.
I have shared peace that wasn’t mine to keep.
But in this city sharing is caring.🫂
Love, just like wifi, is strongest where it’s not yours.
I laugh with the boys,
loudly, too loudly sometimes.
We joke, we talk football ⚽, we talk life,
but behind every “bro, uko aje?”
There’s a man holding himself together with pure vibes and Inshallah.🤞
I’m too tired but I’m still here. 😩
I’m too broke but I’m not finished.
I will keep showing up, even when life treats me like a forgotten dream.
‘Cause one day, eh? One day…
My story will change and I’ll laugh for real.😂

I am My best Friend.❤️
Self-love is the practice of accepting, caring for, and accepting oneself as one is, without judgment or criticism.
Loving yourself and taking care of yourself are like being your own best friend. It’s about feeling good for being you, and doing little things every day to make sure you’re happy and healthy.
When I love myself, I remember that it’s okay to make mistakes and that I don’t have to be perfect. It’s like giving myself a big hug, even when I trip or when I fall. And when I take care of myself, it’s like making sure I eat my favorite dish, get plenty of sleep, and do the things that make me smile.
Putting myself first also means I can be stronger when things get tough, and I can share more smiles with my loved ones. It’s like when my cup is full, I can pour into others’ cups too.
So, I make sure to listen to my heart, rest when I’m tired, and do things that make me happy. This way, I’m not just getting by; I’m having a great time being me!
