Goodbye to my first place of refuge. Nyabo did not have ten or twenty grandchildren. She had hundreds. Anyone she helped with herbal medicine for bruises, burns, stomachaches or other childhood illnesses counted among them. My little brother suffered stomachaches a lot, and she always helped him.

To buy a Rolex, one had to buy a tomato, an egg and a Chappati – Oh! Maseno Every day in Maseno taught me something new. The weather was pleasant, much like UCU’s, but the town’s way of life was different. People spoke a mix of English and Kiswahili, and the currency exchange felt strange, with large notes turning into small coins, which one had to travel 25 kilometres to get.

We asked strangers to show us their Notes app. Here’s what we learned. A repository of wish lists, reminders and half-baked ideas, the digital jotting pad may be the most analog app in your phone — and in some ways, the most revealing.

If you want to get to know a person, you could look at their social media.

But the truth also lies within the Notes app: Too private to post, too important to forget, too forgettable to remember.

Fall in love with your own life Rage against the lies, yearn for more, and build a life that finally feels like yours.

I am so goddamn tired of this culture that thrives on making us feel incomplete. You scroll. You compare. You rot. Every ad screams you’re not enough until you buy me.

when you're choosing a life partner, think beyond romance think about the mornings that don’t feel like mornings, the ones that begin with silence and a half-burnt toast, when everything feels too heavy to name.

because that’s what life becomes, a series of ordinary moments, and who you choose will decide whether those moments feel like comfort or confinement.

I secured a Lightning earphone. I have always had an internal conflict about the impact earbuds have on my hearing compared to wired systems like lightning earphones.

What excites me now is listening to the podcast episodes on my downloads list. More personalized podcasts, more personalized playlists, and even reels.
