Had I known that satan was after me yesterday, I would not have worn my loyal black bra. I would not have worn my new black and yellow tights which introduced the world to my buttocks after two seconds. I would not have bothered to paint my eyebrows or waste foundation that I had to save for three months to get. I would have stayed in bed, watching TikTok videos while releasing silent killer bombs inside the bedsheets. I woke up bloated yesterday morning after a night of drinking several glasses of snake tears, rice and beans. My stomach was so big I had to check my calendar to confirm whether I had entertained the one eyed guest of honor and it's liquid children. But there was no need to check because the last time I hosted such a fellow, the year was 1950 just before colonizer declared a state of emergency. So now I'm in the kitchen with my big stomach full of gas. Satan, whispers to me " drink ACV with mother you will feel better". Without a second thought, I mixed...

  There is a whole side of cheating rather than the physical I found you in bed engulfed in another woman’s arms. Cheating can be physical, yes, but it can also be emotional as well as psychological. While physical cheating is what makes most relationships end on account of getting caught; emotional cheating is what results toa disconnect between partners. It results to lack of trust, insecurity and constant feeling of guilt. Let me define emotional cheating…  To me, it is when you give someone else the attention that is supposed to be your partner’s. You tell this person everything your partner is supposed to know, you trust them with all elements of your life and in short, you use this particular person to fill the void that your partner should ultimately be in. You give this person the power to make you happy and sad as they deem fit and your partner ends up being the other partner in the picture. Here comes in the psychological cheating, where you think of someone else (no...

Mwangi series Part 3... I have realized that some of you, my loves, think you know Mwangi…No, you don’t. It is a fictional name to describe my very true character.  Let me be like General Iroh today and say that in life we meet a lot of individuals and some of them charm us to the point that we invite them into our lives and never let them go. We know we shouldn’t hold on but we force ourselves to them hoping they will finally realize that we are awesome and are perfect for them. Sweet Mwangi. Did I say that I let him go? Well, I did, sexually, not physically. I kept tabs on him and we used to chat whenever he remembered I existed. I remember this young side of me and I feel sorry… Why was I that desperate??? Anyway, there was a concert being held and we were to go together…At least that’s what I thought. On that auspicious day, I also had an interview somewhere within my area at a local publishing company. I was applying to be an editor and in the interview, I was asked to display...

 Mwangi series Part 2... RAPE This guy… He almost had his way. The one thing most of us are pants down against is rape. It doesn’t matter what the victim did or whatever the relationship they had with the assaulter. Rape is rape and rape should be treated with the seriousness it deserves! This includes the psychological rape where someone initially didn’t want to have sex with you but you persuaded them into it. I don’t mean when your lover teases, no, when she just wants you to work for the yes… I mean when someone says no and no means no! It was Friday but unlike most Fridays… Mwangi wasn’t around so when I went to the club I couldn’t find him. His friend was, however, and he came towards me. We started talking and this is when I found out Mwangi was in town and though he would be back, he wasn’t due until around midnight. We took time to dance a little when he asked me to take him to his place. This guy…Please note that I thought we were going to pick something – or somethin...

 Mwangi series Part 1 BOOTY CALLS A booty call is when you call someone or you get called basically for the booty 😁😁😁 . This is mostly common within the single people who may or may not have connected with a partner for just sex. Call it friends with benefits or whatever, but you basically don’t want to have a relationship with the person, it’s just the sex. I met this guy while I was dancing. He had pretty good moves on the floor and although I knew him by name, I had never talked to him. After a few moves, we left the dance floor and sat on a table to make banter which mainly involved me complementing him for his website developing business and his then awesome blog. That is when I asked him if he would be willing to be a friends with benefits. (I shot my shot...) He said it would actually work well for him since he didn’t believe in love but aaarh fu! Who was he kidding? He loved someone who I soon discovered wasn’t his to keep. He told me that such friendships always w...

  DEFLOWERED GIFTS... The issue about a woman’s virginity is one that has been addressed with utmost severity within our society. Older women married in the 1990s going back were not treated too kindly when found out to not have been virgins on their wedding night. In some cultures, the issue was so serious that the marriage was to be consummated in front of elders who would check the sheets searching for specks of blood, lack of which would cause the woman to be sent back home with a kiondo on her head (there was a jembe in the kiondo). The dowry was called back on account of the ‘daughter’s shame’ What really is virginity then? Virginity is mostly thought of as a state where someone has not had vaginal penetrative sex. I say penetrative vaginal sex because true to it, nobody is keen to ask whether one has had oral or anal sex  for that matter. Once I heard someone say she had performed all there is to sexual activity apart from vaginal sex. She still insisted she was ...

FISTULA A fistula is defined as an abnormal connection of two body cavities (such as the rectum and the vagina), or as the connection of a body cavity to the skin (such as the rectum to the skin). One way a fistula may form is from an abscess—a pocket of pus in the body. The abscess may be constantly filling with body fluids such as stool or urine, which prevents healing. Eventually, it breaks through to the skin, another body cavity, or an organ, creating a fistula. Types Fistulas often occur in the area around the genitals and anus (known as the perineum). The four types of fistulas are: Enterocutaneous : This type of fistula is from the intestine to the skin. An enterocutaneous fistula may be a complication of surgery. It can be described as a passageway that progresses from the intestine to the surgery site and then to the skin. Enteroenteric or Enterocolic : This is a fistula that involves the large or small intestines. Enterovaginal : This is a fistula that goes to t...
