People drink for a variety of reasons, and each one may have a specific motivation for doing so. But according to research, it’s actually not that difficult. Four broad categories can be used to group drinking reasons:

1.Coping: Managing uncomfortable feelings.
2.Conformity: Making an effort to fit in.

3.Enhancement: Desire for the enjoyable effects of drinking.
4.Social: Enjoying the company of others.

Though drinking has been embraced by many people it doesn’t make it right or wrong. The Kenyan culture has gone above and beyond to try and justify the worrying drinking culture terming it as ‘sherehe’, that you only live once (#YOLO). The problem is not the drinking but what people do after drinking.

Drinking joints have become a crime scene with gullible men falling for beautiful ladies out to drug and rob them. In a recent expose ‘operation mchele’ by Citizen Tv, some of this men end up dying because of the adverse effects of the drugs. We have similarly heard of one if not two stories of people loosing control while drinking and becoming violent to a point of harming those around which at times leads to death.

Evaluating the pros and cons of drinking, the cons definitely take the day for me.

1. Active mind, youthful body

Presented with new information, the brain creates new connections and is revitalized. This is why it is so important to expose yourself to change, even if stepping outside your comfort zone means feeling a bit of anxiety. You begin exercising your brain by doing a certain task for the first time,” he writes. “And at first it seems very difficult, but as you learn how to do it, the training is already working. The second time, you realize that it’s easier, not harder, to do, because you’re getting better at it. This has a fantastic effect on a person’s mood.

2. Stress: Accused of killing longevity

Many people seem older than they are. Research into the causes of premature aging has shown that stress has a lot to do with it, because the body wears down much faster during periods of crisis. The American Institute of Stress investigated this degenerative process and concluded that most health problems are caused by stress. Researchers at the Heidelberg University Hospital conducted a study in which they subjected a young doctor to a job interview, which they made even more stressful by forcing him to solve complex math problems for thirty minutes. Afterward, they took a blood sample. What they discovered was that his antibodies had reacted to stress the same way they react to pathogens, activating the proteins that trigger an immune response. The problem is that this response not only neutralizes harmful agents, it also damages healthy cells, leading them to age prematurely.

3. A lot of sitting will age you

Spending too much time seated at work or at home not only reduces muscular and respiratory fitness but also increases appetite and curbs the desire to participate in activities. Being sedentary can lead to hypertension, imbalanced eating, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and even certain of cancer.

There are days we just do nothing but think of what the future holds for us.We think of all our goals and ambitions,the things we want. At this time when the world is experiencing the queen like disease (COCIV-19) I’m left thinking of what I’ve accomplished so far. Tomorrow is not assured and so every morning push yourself to be an upgrade of you.

Everyone is trying to get a hold of something,however,some are simply chasing the wind.Once you love someone it’s hard to get them out of your mind even for just a minute. We never want our loved one’s even a mile apart from us but often that’s never the case.
Just like life how we wake up in the morning uncertain of the outcome of the day yet still hopeful for a superb one. So is love,we fall in love full of expectations mostly to feel the love reciprocated by our partner but what if that’s not the case?
I did love him with every grain and fibre in me..There was nothing I would not do for him,I’m talking of the possible and impossible. He was the reason behind the big smile you all got attached to.No minute ever passed by without a thought of him brushing through my mind,I wish I could be with him everyday and show him what a souvenir he is to me. Woe to any human who tried to talk ill of him at an earshot distance..He was my Hero,My friend,My refuge,my guilty addiction and slowly I was becoming obsessed with him.Black was no longer black but a shade of brown and white was just but a clear black. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into and I didn’t have the slightest audacity.I was bad news and my sudden change of leaf was crystal clear even to the most unpredictable people. I was a lion protecting her hunt after days of nothing but hunger. “You deserve the best”was my wake up call.I was wrong this entire time .When you love someone you don’t let them destroy you along with themsyelves,you don’t allow them to drag you through their mud.


Amazing how a love story so strong so beautiful turned sour…I guess it was all in my head.He recently called me a name he never did,I have to keep up and be the big gal I always wanted to be. Yes I have always loved him and will always do and that is what I’ll had onto My pure love. I’ll give my all only to myself..I need time to heal time to smile and enjoy life.
This has to be that year I focus on myself and discover my self worth and value to test my limits and make it through..Do what I love eachday..accept my flaws and work on them..

Thanks for joining me!
