Njeri's Mind Out Wild

When you have been single for too long, you become very comfortable and okay with your space; doing things by yourself and whenever you want to. You can make very random decisions such as traveling out of the country or changing jobs. You become very choosy with whom you let in and protective over those you love because you know what it is like when pain takes charge. If you still don’t get it, let me paint a picture for you through Suzan’s love life. Suzan has been single for many years now and has almost forgotten what love feels like. Her past relationships left her scarred for life and scared her of dating. She now loves from a safe distance and once in a while flirts with the good looking guys who seem interested just to keep the fire burning. The real reason, however, is she would rather love from a distance than be vulnerable again on her way to a broken heart. She puts up a strong show and portrays a very strong personality outside which most times scares the bad boys awa...

Can we just skip to the part where we are married with a beautiful set of triplets, an amazing home with a huge balcony that overlooks the swimming pool, a dog and an exciting love story of how we met? If you are a lady, past the age of 25, single and whose friends cannot wait to be your bridesmaids and are on your neck to go out   and ‘meet some guys’, you probably relate to this topic. We all agree that love is a beautiful thing… especially with the right person. I know, I should have just left it at ‘thing’. I do not doubt that. But, it is the process before marriage that just wares me out. I give up just before the Quarter Finals.   At the ‘getting to know someone’ stage of love. My God! You know, right before you even get to know their second name, hobbies and birth date and year- just imagine you now have to find out what they are allergic to and how many babies they may be having out there. Like they could be serial killers, but you can’t just dive into...

About time, right? It has been over two months since my last post or so. I have been trying to figure out a better way to fold my mind around this topic, now that I am on the other side of things. Ha ha! In my previous post that addressed the taken friend of the single Nairobi woman, i received lots of feedback on my mail and most of it talked about how the single woman in that post sounded so selfish and 'unfeeling' of the taken Nairobi woman, she should at least be happy fr her friend and supportive. My thoughts: AMEN TO THAT! Dear Single lady, I know how well you are doing, you chose to do it all by yourself. You chose independence, you chose to do you first before you could find love, you chose to do the right things for 'YOU' before you can settle for the 'WE'. Heeeey honey, the is nothing absolutely wrong with that, just one thing do you rub it in on your taken friend so much that it makes them uncomfortable. She is your friend...

, Hello, It has been a while since we last spoke. I here that nowadays you have a man who cherishes you a lot. I am so happy for you and your new journey in love. I hope all goes well for you with him and may the best come your way. May he be the Mr. Right, I am sure your mama is now eager to see you walk down the aisle; your friends should be looking forward to the day and I am sure they have been suggesting all that. Really happy for you. I would like to SELFISHLY turn your attention to that single friend you only need once in a while when you need someone else other than your man or family to talk to. By the way, she has always been and will always be there to listen to you letting your heart out. Remember that is how things were before you were taken after your heart had been turned into a mess by that young man you had so much hope for of a lifetime together? Have you ever taken time to think of how she is fairing besides you needing something that she might be of ...

My sentiments on #IEBC. Let’s be real, shall we? NO Policeman or woman is supposed to attack an unarmed citizen to the point they bleed, left disable or dead, the police are supposed to protect us from harm, not injure us. BUT, You cannot attack an armed policeman with stones and expect to walk free. You cannot be walking freely around an area of protest and expect to walk away unharmed. Once the stones begin to fly, you will only be a victim. Hooligans a re out to take advantage of protests to steal and let out their frustrations. They only bring so much pain to those who were out for peaceful protests. But, how are the police supposed to differentiate between the two? It has been weeks of pushing these policemen who are not even paid well enough to be running after you or reacting to the stones being hailed at them. So, if a fire is sparked, they will blow. Who benefits anyway from all these but both sides of the political parties? Neither you, nor the police. For Mwan...

Don't you think some of us just get married way too early? We all know marriage is a lifetime deal for most people who do not believe in divorce. No wonder the very high divorce rates currently, because we rush a little too fast. Why would you get married just to plan on divorce late? Unless, unfortunately, things are really bad. We all need some time to get to know someone before we can commit ourselves into a relationship, more so before we can hook ourselves to a lifetime commitment with someone. The time one needs to at least say yes to a proposal, marriage or even a relationship of any sort differs with age. Teenagers need a lot of time to eve figure themselves out before they can figure their partner, it is for that reason that marriage to anyone below the age of 18 is illegal and 99% bound to fail, if you ask me. It all depends on an individual who decides to get married in their early 20s, but it is very hard to know for sure if it is the need to love, pe...

Generally, 'Star Wars' has been a very successful movie and is still receiving lots of positive vibe, following and love across the globe. When all of us are very happy at the final outcome and Worldwide success of the movie, one woman who made most scenes achievable is facing arm amputation. Olivia Jackson  is the stunt woman who after crashing  into a metal camera arm in September while shooting a high-speed motorcycle chase on the Johannesburg, South Africa set of the sequel had to be induced into a coma at the time. This happened on the set of "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter." In October she shared this on her Facebook page: "2 weeks in a coma, brain bleed, brain swelling, severed main artery in the neck, crushed & degloved face, several broken ribs, paralyzed arm, shattered scapula, broken clavicle, broken humerus, broken radius & ulna, with an open wound and a 7.5 piece of bone missing, amputated thumb, torn fingers, 5 nerves torn ou...
