2023

.................... 2023......................... 
My mother tells me she gave birth to me at night 8pm. In luopean a child born at night is either called Atieno for a girl and  Otieno for a boy. But then I don't understand why she never gave me the name Atieno. Dad calls and realise that mum has just given birth to a bouncy babygirl and guess what dad says, Medalein Albright Auka will be her name and so they agree on the matter and name me after a politician and a diplomat from US, "Madeleine Albright"

I always don't like when i have to explain to everyone how to spell and write my name. It always feels bad when someone spells your name incorrectly. Anyway, today is not about my name and not also about the day I was born. It's about me. 
Let me share some of the things I have had to accept while blossoming.

1. I have learnt to accept that no matter how hard I'll eat my weight will still remain to be 48kgs. I have lost hope in stopping by another weighing machine to have my weight checked. That's funny I know. What kind of bones have I inherited anyway huh! 

2. I have learnt to accept every situation and giving is a virtue everyone has,it depends on how you perfect it. Things might get knotty and detangling each one of them is stressful. Take it one step at a time. Take every opportunity as a God given gift and try as much as possible to lose nothing. You get nosy and before you realise it your nose gets poked and you end up at the ICU nursing a wound an unbearable bill.

4. Never underestimate people. Reason with those you can reason with and not minding other people's business should be the last thing in your daily to do list. Nobody gives a rat's ass about your life. People are busy thinking about their own lives in every tick of a clocks hand. 

5. I love cats because they are always calm and love a soft life. They have zero pressure about their lives. Dogs on the other hand are my best. I always dream of having so many cats and dogs in my house one day. Coming back home to them waiting for me at the door and all of them wanting your attention. 

6. My melancholic temperament doesn't allow me to listen to loud music for a long time. My brain is wired in such a way that I can only think clearly in a quiet place. Music to me is both relaxing and at times a distraction. I hate noise and loud talks.... They irritate me. 

I have learnt and still yet to learn how life is rich of experiences. To a new beginning. 

......Happy my birthday to me....

You never know

You never know.... So one day I turn on the television and spend 20 minutes looking for something nice to concentrate on in different channels. Searching to the point of lacking, I came across a documentary that feels worth sharing with someone. So there are these two men who go climbing because its like a career to them and they have been doing this since they were 30, I cant really recall their names but if we were to give them names, lets say Brandon and Jessy. They planned and went climbing; I mean climbing the highest mountains and peaks that are covered with snow. I understand it is not called mountain climbing, rather it is mountaineering. They carry with them all the gears a mountaineer needs to have in order to protect their body: Insulated mittens, liner gloves, neck gaiter, ski googles, belt,winter hat, socks, boots, water proof jacket and water proof pants, these are just some of the gears they should have.  So while they are in the process of climbing ...

HOPE

I have been thinking of how sometimes our lives are wired. You may want your life to move towards a certain direction but then things just don't add up. I thought it wise for you to help me reason out on hope, at least zoom and  later get it from your own perspective what hope is in the comment section. Recently we celebrated the heroes in our lives. What they have done in the past is exemplary that it can be remembered by all. I hope you had a hero. Being a hero means a lot. Heroic is the ability to conjure hope when there is none. Think about that for a second. To strike a match to light up a void and to show us a possibility for a better world; not a better world we want to exist but a better world we didn't know could exist. You will realise that hope goes hand in hand with faith. There is some great why to heroism that they bring to the table- some incredible belief that goes unshaken, no matter what. Hope is one great pillar that we all lean on in order to ach...
