Are you okay? Mzima?

I think I am just over this question! Are you okay? Mzima? I feel like hili swali watu tunaliuliza sana kama vile desturi tu na hatuna maana kwamba tunataka kufahamu kweli kama tunaowauliza ni wazima au vipi.

Bullshitting through life

So there is this show I have been binge-watching on Netflix called bull shit – the game show. So basically, people are asked questions. Their answers do not have to be true. But they have to know how to own their BSs and make people (the challengers) believe them. The more BSs you have, the…

Home

Home means different things to different people. For some, it is a place, a feeling, or a person. Home is anything, and anywhere you want it to be. For me, home is a lot of things. It is the place where I was born. A place where I grew up. A place where I got…

Rainy Days…

Rainy Days

It is pouring. That kind of rain you wish had found you all tucked on your couch in that favorite spot. One hand holding a cup of hot coffee or tea. Either could do. The other hand is holding your phone. Or a book on the table. I am debating whether I should read or…

Slow Living in Tanzania - Books, coffee, home ✨️
Columnist @thecitizentz

I’ve been thinking about how I sometimes move thro I’ve been thinking about how I sometimes move through things without really paying attention.

The trees, the water, the food. The things that hold everything together.

Today felt like a good day to notice a bit more.

Happy Earth Day 🌍

Who gets to decide that the life you are living is Who gets to decide that the life you are living is a good one? The correct one?

Weeks after I finished The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy, I am still trying to answer that question.

In my review, I talk about how I think about death and what kind of feeling it will leave behind.

This year, I want to read books that push me to question how I live and help me change some beliefs.
You sit by the sea. You drink coffee. You read. O You sit by the sea.

You drink coffee. You read. Or pretend to read as you admire the sea and wonder how far it goes. You invite intrusive thoughts while at it (IYKYK). Then you go back to actually reading and drinking your now cold coffee, because you left it alone for too long. But you don’t want to give it up.

You admire the sunset. You think about how grateful you are to be part of nature.

You pay your bill and go back to your little home that you love so much. You go to bed. The end 🤣✨️

Anyway, my current book is interesting. It is changing how I see marketing. It is more than just selling. It is a way of understanding the world better.
Are you living the way you think you should? Maybe Are you living the way you think you should?
Maybe yes. Maybe not.

That is yours to answer.

The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy asks you to sit with it. It is unsettling. It is necessary.

My favourite quote: “Can it be that I have not lived as one ought?” Suddenly came into his head. “But how not so, when I've done everything as it should be done?”

A review and video coming soon. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Home. Home.
