TAKE A CHANCE.

In retrospect i have always wanted to "blog" or  better yet chronologically string up thoughts that could be appreciated over a forum like this. But shit almost always doesn't turn out as you'd want or hope, every time ad take my laptop and try my best to put together a story and  to my surprise ad always end up blank. Maybe i was trying too hard at that particular time or maybe i really didn't have anything to say. We are always told "follow your dreams". Follow them i shout in agreement too....Surprisingly something phenomenally unforgettable has to almost always happen to you for you to realize that "blank" space in your life you are yet to fill. For me that has to be blogging or better yet touring all over the world. To accomplish the latter I would have to actually have saved a significant amount of money..a feat I am yet to achieve, but blogging I can and could start anytime I decided best, so I settled on the former.

It actually started out as a dare from a close friend, kind like how adolescents make a significant amount of their life changing decisions. I literally needed a nudge into reality, like I needed someone else to believe that I could actually do it, almost like I needed to hear them say it. Self doubt is realistically real, a vice that most of us undoubtedly do posses, its like a chronic illness, dragging us down insidiously and with astonishing deception ( chini ya maji ), ridding us of our most precious talents.

I like to think I do posses some sort of talent, a talent that enables me to literally comprehend the ups and down of the English diction, to maneuver through the hidden bends and invisible curves of phrases woven together with words and eventually understand what is being put across. Astonishingly, my friends always make fun of how I talk, words don't flow smoothly out of my mouth with the same effortless ease as when i am jotting them down, pronouncing some of them "big", "bizarre" words becomes next to impossible, so I (or rather, most of us) have adopted this ingeniously modified form of English that we refer to as "sheng" that makes communication way much easy especially among age mates. Its a well crafted mixture of both English and Swahili, poetically strung up together whilist adding a little bit of this and a little bit of that. It honestly has a nice ring to it. If you literally heard me talk, i am inclined to think you would be awed, but that's just my opinion. My point is people already have and will have to get past some challenges for them to nature their talents, please don't get left behind. Cheers to exploiting our talents and enjoying the many benefits they will offer!!
