Dating Pool Updates!

-
Hello there...

So, last time I talked to you, I shared I was too lazy to fall in love or meet people. Well, I have some updates...

Allow me to digress for a bit... I promise you the updates has not been forced upon me, but I feel I need to share context of why relationships can impact how you take criticism differently based on whether they come from a place of love, curiosity, or ridicule!

I have a very lovely relationship between my Mum, sister, and I. Booooy! When I tell you they bring the need to change my relationship status, they come swinging, it's always all love and reassurance, so I'd never take it as pressure. I can't even begin to tell you how hard my bestie has been trying to set me up on dates. We'll see! 😅

That being said, the last year has been an experiential kind. I've been stepping out of my comfort zone and into the dating pool. I even tried online dating and met a couple of interesting guys... Interesting is the key word here. 




I have attempted a few dates but some didn't make it past the talking stage coz if you don't know, I should tell you about just how many perves exist on these online dating sites. It's unsettling.

I hear stories, but I must admit, the few dates I've been on, thanks to my instincts, have been with gentlemen thankfully!

So, I'm not making any promises or getting you excited about a wedding or triplets soon... Lol! 😂 But, I'm glad I stepped out, and still stepping out. Boy, I do step out for real! 

Funny thing is... I'm way past 27 bridesmaids dresses 😂😂😂. I intend to lead the pack y'all! I joke a lot being the right #guestforhire but for real, invite me to your weddings, I'll come baring fashion gifts and another for you! It's my excuse to dress up and buy expensive shoes! 😅

Anyway, where were we? So, I'll keep trying this dating pool, and I look forward to having lots of fun while I'm there. 

Let's do this! Shall we Mr. Right? 

Love,
Essy

How did you end up in Turkana and other stories...

How did you end up in Turkana??? I get this question a looot! I guess many ask this because of the preconceived biases based on what they have either watched on telly or heard. It's a simple lack of exposure to the beauty of Turkana. If anything, I encourage questions about Turkana so people can learn. It's either that (free) or you come visit (learn). So.... My name is Esther Mwangi, and yes I am from Turkana. To make it short, my Dad came to Turkana 54 years ago as an Accounting Clerk. Mum followed 11 years later. The two have together made a name for themselves and have become a great part of the community. That means, I was born, bred, educated, and nourished at the heart of Turkana in Lodwar. I did not end up here, this is home. A selfie of me in a full Turkana regalia. Many know Turkana for its climatic condition, and being sorrounded by three countries comes with its challenges, and that may be the other reason we are known for. Hey, we have our challenges but, allo...

My 12-year career journey: A reflection

-

As I reflect on my 12-year journey across various sectors— including private sector (from real estate, PR agencies, hospitality, consultancy), non-profit, and now government— I've gathered invaluable insights that I wish I had known at the start of my career.  Mind you, it took me a while to land a permanent job that I was reffered to as a professional volunteer. I am eternally grateful because volunteering shaped me. In my first 'real' job, I was featured on Parents Magazine Africa- Phenomenal Women- "Don't sit waiting for a job, volunteer and doors will open". I was a very young woman in a managerial position in a real estate company then. Doors did open, and I pray they stay open.  Each experience has shaped my perspective, and I'm eager to share these lessons in the hopes that they resonate with those just starting on their professional paths. I am a work in progress and enthusiastic about the future. So, before diving into my insights, I urge everyone...

FRIENDSHIP UNCURTAINED

The best time to make a friend is when you do not need one. Friendship comes in a very weird and unplanned manner. Think of how you became friends with your own best friend, where and how you met, who said hi, or did you just start talking. Was it funny, fun, or totally out of place? What was your first impression of them? were you introduced to each other or did you just make friends? Two words best describe this; a relationship and mutual. So, there has to be a relationship between two or more people, who hold a mutual understanding for each other. A relationship is an association between two people that may be short or long term. it may also be intimate or interpersonal. Mutual on the on the hand means  reciprocal, with respect or towards the other. Friendship in essence then means you have the other person in mind, you consider how they feel and how they are doing at all times. Friendship is simply selfless. A friend is someone who you first know well, understand e...
