         So its 11.00 pm and the internet is being a bitch , but so am I and I will not let it get the better of me. Also I just got my first comment on a post and my heart literally skipped a beat, so the internet will not ruin this for me. Hence the lack of a header photo on this post . If it helps, imagine yourself getting ready for bed after a very chill day , weekend in fact , let's imagine it's the good ol' Saturday evening , an in Saturday evening , no parties for you tonight.
         Don't you just hate journals without quotes? Well of course you have to be a journal person in the first place ,  but let's ignore that tiny detail first. Like at the bottom of the page or somewhere at the beginning of the month's page . I mean , everyone needs a little inspiration a day .  It could come anywhere really; listening to a radio host in the morning, reading your favorite book, singing your favorite song in the shower, the list is endless. I, however, am a sucker for bedtime quotes so let's focus on that😏
        Now I am writing this after a day of doing completely nothing, in the spirit of lazy Saturday. There is nothing to watch on tv, you already did your laundry and even had time to rearrange your closet, the dishes are clean and everyone is busy so you can't really go out. Take a walk you say? Nah, I'm too lazy for my own good. So I head to bed, then I think , it has been a while since I even had time to look at my journal, maybe I could do that. So I do . Then it hits me. It comes to me like Nairobi CBD traffic at 8.00am ,this book has no quotes! So how am I supposed to feel good about myself if I have done nothing the whole day? That quote was my saving grace, my pat on the back( of course I was gonna look for one about enjoying my life because that is what I did with my day).
       Do I have the energy to google quotes? No, electronics are bad before bed. So dear journal makers, Association of all companies that hand out free journals as an advertising strategy, do include the quotes in them. The bottom of  every single page including the index would be nice. That's how we lazy bums like it. Thanks

            Background music? Check. Inspiration is in the air today. Actually inspiration has been in the air all week I even considered starting guitar classes, creativity is creativity, right ? Are blogs just YouTube channels for kids who aren't sure about camera angles and video backgrounds ?🙅💆💆 Hmmmm.. ..Anyway I digress. When it comes to you it comes to you. That one thing that you don't have to think about to do. It's like second nature. You might be the crowd puller, the crowd enhancer, crowd avoider, but you're somewhere in that crowd, or not, if that makes any sense.Wait a minute, you remember that  background music we checked up there ? Well it's some cheesy stuff like Shawn Mendes, Adelle, you know the type, all lyrics and emotions, kinda distracting. Like did you notice that Shawn Mendes is almost always lying down in his videos. Okay now I sound like I'm in high school.  Let's switch to some lullaby jazz instrumentals. Real g

The cocktail

There's a mix of people in our lives, different characters, all together making up this one crazy cocktail of friends. Let's see if we can describe everyone in your circle.   1. The funny bone At least everyone has this one, and if you're lucky you have more than one. This is the outstandingly funny person in the group; constantly making jokes so you're always laughing when you're with them. Now I know you're thinking, but all my friends make me laugh. I assure you this one has the specific talent of rib-holding, rolling on the floor kind of happiness. 2.The sweet tooth. Probably a she. Don't sue me for sexism or anything but yeah, probably a she😅. Sweetest thing you've ever met. you cannot even imagine them angry with you for more than 2 mins, they are just too nice. Your first option in case you need a favor. 3. La Rationale The thinker, they make the best plans. Always overanalyzing stuff. Them; Guys if it's going to CJ's

Writer's confessions

Happy, such a simple word. Two syllable word, ha-ppy. I mean how hard could it be. To be happy? That's the challenge right there. I know my audience is probably millennials who are 'living their best life', for the gram and all, but work with me here. In the waking up, looking forward to your day, the day itself, all the way to your reflection at the end of it all just before you go to sleep. Happy, even when there's a driver that's been honking for the past 10 minutes for whatever reason right outside your house while all you're trying to do is have a lovely evening, worst case scenario. We're all just trying the best we can, because essentially no one really wakes up wanting to have the worst week of their lives, or to have everything that could go wrong literally go wrong.  If I keep going down this path this might turn into sappy life advice, not really what I'm going for, so let's rephrase.  They say you cannot really separate an arti
