2000s parental love

 Our parents did a very big role in bringing us up, but I think there's where they didn't do their best (not pinning them though). Maybe it was because of the generation where everyone thought that handling the child with an iron fist was only a measure of showing responsibility. The 1990s and early 2000s ways of showing or extending love and responsibility was ridiculous. It resulted into kids growing with constant fear of making mistakes because the mechanisms used to rectify them were always harsh. They did their best to see that their kids had better lives but the emotional connectivity was something they had never thought of. Think about living in strict homes where the rules are almost written on the wall; there is no space for breathing.  To them, they were doing everything for us but in the end it's what has come to haunt us at old age. Grappling with issues of low self esteem, lack of confidence and an elevated emotional sensitivity, fear of making mistakes, a high...

The confusion at 25

The age at which almost everyone is confused is 25. This is the age when one has just finished school, and is now confused about career and life. Stuck between the confused past and the uncertain future. One wants to conquer the world but doesn't have all it takes.  I joined the employment field slightly after school, and a month to my 25th birthday. To me it was the time to fulfill all my fantasies; to conquer the world for my parents first, then for myself. In just a period of 1 year, I've switched the workplace four times and I am about to change for the fifth time in the same year, not dating, no crushes, no talking stages, worried about going back to school at the same time making si much money. My parents are aging and I want them to see me in top. My mind is working like a small factory. Waking up at 3: 00 am and get worried everyday, seeing everyone make it except oneself.

My 2025.

PREAMBLE If I am to count some of the hard and yet most important years in my life, 2025 cant really miss. In fact it competes for the first position along with other years, except that others were filled with mostly pain but this, lessons mostly. I think maybe because it was my silver jubilee (uncelebrated) but whatever the case, I learned my lesson. Let us dive deep into the iconic year. AFTER SCHOOL After having finished school in december of 2024, I was glad because I was done with the nagging school routine, but most importantly I was going to be working and having my own money. My friends and I left with hopes high; whereas some already had jobs secured for them, some of us first went home and settled. For my case, I became a farmer and was helping on the harvesting of millet and other farm activities. Of course you know that in western uganda the seaseion for harvesting millet is late December and early January. Life at home was very fine, I was free, especially free from bo...

One sided love.

 So you be there with your partner, and they are hurting  you so much in the way they're behaving, in short they're not treating you well, but you're in love and you want to fix things. So you decide that it's the time to talk about it with them, such that you can have a happy relationship. You prepare your words, the way you'll approach in order that you don't annoy them, you practice how you'll control yourself and you even imagine how you will feel after fixing things. Now you buy airtime, remember you're not a person who over talks on phone. You buy pakapaka minutes; 60 of them because you don't want your conversation to be cut short before you finish.  Now you calm yourself down and call, at first they don't pick. You pretend that maybe they're busy. You give them 30 minutes and call again. Luckily they pick. You are very happy and you know that you are now going to fix things. You start taking, you greet. The moment you start talking wh...

First step taken. Congratulations to me.

‎I congratulate myself upon this achievement. officially I'm a graduate, a pharmacy technician. I will say it's not what I ever wanted, but also achieving it was not as simple as it seemed. I had aimed for something big but in the end I had to settle for what was available. having been previously academic sound; I scored aggregate 4 at P7 in 2013 at an unknown school deep in Mitooma District which secured me a bursary at one of the best private schools in Western Uganda; Plus Two High School, where I finished my 6 years from. With such a background, the people around me had a lot of hopes in me, and they built in me that I was gonna be successful in life via academics. Which is never a guarantee.  ‎Having spent a full year at home when my colleagues had reported to campus, it's the time that life decided to show the different side of it. Of course the primary reason was that I had been denied my dream course of Bachelors in Pharmacy, but the main reason here was money.  ‎ ‎...
