Lost in my own world.



Do you often find yourself off mood and thinking of things that are out of your control. It happens to me so often, and when it does, it crumbles the little spirit and strength I have to stand up and show up every other time am needed. Needless to say , I fall victim of my expectations and the experiences I have had to live, again thinking of what went wrong and how many times I failed myself in all what I thought I would accomplish. It’s a hard experience thinking about it, because in the outside you are kinda okay and energised but deep down you are oozing blood profusely. It’s typical for people to say, accept the decree of God, but that sounds like a cliché to me , don’t confuse me for not being a believer, I accept the Decree of God and adhere to it religiously, it’s only that this feeling sweeps you off your feet and gets you thinking, what if ? In the end , you become a wrecked ship. I rarely share this feeling out, it’s like I am okay and yet I am not okay. So today I got to share it with somebody, who thinks it’s cool and normal , I was afraid to open up because most people would listen to judge and not to hear , advise and find a solution, it’s amazing the energy that this person has put into my story and made me feel like am not fighting the battle of my thoughts alone and there is always someone who is willing to listen and care. We all break down sometimes, we all lose interest, we all feel like we are horrible and suck in one thing or another, it’s not that we are loosing focus, it’s only a chance to gain momentum and looking into the positive side of life. Working harder and realizing that , what doesn’t kill you , makes you stronger, and with no doubt, Qadar/destiny/Fate or our decree by God is just a moderation and equalizer to our overly ambitious thoughts and dreams that might not bear fruit or follow course as we please.

-Omar Abdhallah.

NIFANYEJE?

'Limpenda kanikana, sasa anitaka tena, Na nilipata kimwana, wenyewe tunaendana, Mtoto mzuri sana, wa kumzidi hakuna, Ila naye ni kicheche, wengi wanamtambua. Ila naye ni kicheche, wengi wanamtambua, Hatembei na wachache, penzini hajatulia, Hunichoma kama cheche, moyoni nikaumia, Ila nataka mfunza, huenda akageuka. Ila nataka mfunza, huenda akageuka, Mana vyema hunitunza, hadi nikafurahika, Na huyu mwingine mwenza, tabia 'mekamilika. Tatizo alinigura, wakati 'lipomtaka. Tatizo alinigura, wakati 'lipomtaka, Ninahisi ufukara, ndo chanzo cha kunepuka, Kwa sasa nami nang'ara, ndio kwangu achipuka, Amekuja kuniomba, nimpe wangu mtima.

BRIDGING THE AGE GAP THROUGH CONSERVATION

A photo showing members of Kwale Pen People, Kwale Arts, SHIFOGA and Wazee wa Kaya preparing the field for tree planting.  DEMYSTIFYING THE TERM KAYA.  (Episode 1 of the story telling sessions)  Adigo Similani! We’re approaching Kaya Nimwache in the  Ziani ((Ziwani) area of  Matuga sub-county and our stupid conversations cut short by the field in front of us, popularly known as Bingo. A lot of local soccer matches happen here I’m told, this is my first time and I honestly feel attacked because whoever is leading the way wasn’t born neither did he spend the first 19 years of his life around this area. Anyway, we walk our way through past the “soccer field” into a swampy field to the other side (I really wish I was good at directions) where the rest of the participants in this program are. Talking about the program, BRIDGING THE GAP, is a program with the aim of narrowing the gap between the youth and the elderly in the society. The first phase being tree planting...

TO THE SOUL

  Istock.com Dear soul… Today, I want to talk to you. It really pains me, seeing how much you’re suffering, in distress, pain, agony, depression over matters that are out of your control. You have failed me so many times when you almost gave up and thought as though no one sees your sufferings. Don’t you believe that all that we go through is by the decree of our creator? I know you do know that everything that happens was long planned by the master of planners. Then why waste plenty of your precious time worrying over Allah’s decree. He knows you much more better than you do to your own self. How about live a worry-free and hope-full life acknowledging that everything is in control? If life was only made of good days, we would never learn to appreciate it, we would never know how it feels to be really Joyous. It’s the bad days that make us stronger, they make us more humble and adds up to our gratitude, because life, is made of two days; one is for you, and one against you. Learn ...
