adulthood?

 

 

A while back me and my good friend fell into a heated argument about something. I don’t remember what it was really. We said a lot of things we shouldn’t have. I mean a lot. But in all, the only words I remember to have pierced my ego with confusion were “you are an adult, act like one!”. Those words came with mixed messages, for one it felt kind of special to be considered a grown up but also portrayed as a juvenile. I don’t hold it against her. She’s an angel.

So, after that episode. I found time to do a little digging on being an adult and all. Google wasn’t much help. I read few books and articles and I must say, books make the simplest of things seem so hard to ground. Basically I didn’t get anything too convincing to me, so at the moment I still don’t quit know what it means to be an adult. One thing for sure though. I know a few too many instances of what being an adult doesn’t mean.

Being an adult is not all about being 18 and having a voter’s card or reaching the parting and drinking age. It’s not about escaping the teen class and clocking the 2 decades alive mentality. Being adult is not suggestively being tall and big or having beards and muscles. It’s not. According to my little research, it’s not entirely about age or masculinity when it comes to being an adult.

Being an adult is not also about a man’s prowess to sire a crowd number of babies at a tender age (18-29). It’s not about the number of girlfriends you’ve had or the hearts you’ve broke. It’s not about the number of hymen you’ve shuttered. It’s not even manliness in portray. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against those who praise vociferously similar conquests.

Personally, I think it’s not even in currency of political and social affairs. You know, you find someone so intrigued and so eloquent tin political affairs and what not. Those kinds of people who can shape for you then economical paradigm shift in a giffy. The ones who know what’s happening, who’s doing it and all the why’s that can possibly exist. That isn’t proof or definition of adulthood.my say.,

I haven’t gotten the answer and at this rate I might just have to define it for myself. Oh, and am not an expert in all this so don’t take my word for it. But do think about it.

So what is being adult?

 

rongai madness

Hey,

So today was crazy, but then again ,every other day in rongai is crazy, if you know what i mean. Today i waited at galleria(for those who don’t know where that is, google is a friend), so i sat there with a bunch of strangers who i didn’t care much to notice. I was not waiting for a particular nganya, not this time anyway (am a big fun of nganyas my friend). What kept me there was definitely my many female scrutiny escapades. This lady next too me wore the best perfume ever, i wanted soo… much to ask her which one, for my girl of cause. (ps> there are no sitting benches pale galleria, don’t ask me what we sat on) and by the way, the lady next to me was soo… pretty, but then if you know me well, every girl is always pretty. Can’t blame me there?.. Fisi mode deactivated!

So, a nganya finally arrived. Not my usual preferred type or sacco but am glad i got on. It was old but had a sassy name, or rather a fierce name.”smoke out” damn! It didn’t even have music on it. It had a squeaky sound like the scary one, but i still had faith on safety. I was privileged to sit in front next to the driver, or perhaps the driver was privileged to sit next to me. I don’t know, either way, it served the purpose. It flew like a boss to ronga city. Overlapping isn’t a crime on rongai road or vehicles, being caught overlapping is the crime. And it’s never a new thing for us or the ‘popo’.

Smoke Out

To cut the long story short because I’m darn tired of typing and sleepy too. Another nganya whose driver thought he was guru, decided to overlap, when no one was. That’s what i call ‘kiherere’. You know, for a serious ‘dere wa mathree’ , you don’t want to be caught by the popo especially in the evening around 4 to 8. That period is usually gold rush, money making time, delay would lose you money both ways plus the police wont be lenient coz they wanna retire to their homes loaded. Boom!

This nganya is called Kichuna its pretty sleek.On their overlapping spree, the worst happened. They meet head on with the feds (i know i know….feds right? sounds classy though) surprisingly, Kichuna didn’t stop, it sped on, i mean what would you do ?? run of cause, run from the popo!???. shit no!, you bloody don’t do that,but that was the drama, the chase down was crazy.. the police gave them a run for their money, or fuel… either works😂. This was a beautiful run. You know like when you play NFS and those niggas be chasing at you crazy?? yeah something of that sought only too real.

Kichuna aka team Jaida

People almost died, thank God they didn’t. So my nganya, the one i was on, ‘Smoke out‘ seized the opportunity and followed suit, only behind the police car. like you know when Barry Allen went back in time and brought his time remnant to draw the time wrath to take zoom away ?(i don’t know if you follow or, if it makes sense) but anyway we, ‘smoke out‘ , knew the ‘popo’ would be too busy to care about us overlapping.

In the act of overlapping, we also bumped into a certain lady’s toyota vits, the lady fast and furious, threw tantrums and also called the ‘feds’ yeah, but we didn’t care shit, we chomoka’d you know…hit and run sotta thing? all in all it was live experiencing that speed rush. It felt like being in the speed force myself. or fighting cap as quick silver…(ha! watch marvel).

By the way, the police caught up with Kichuna but only got the nganya, no driver, no ‘donda’ just abiria . What do you know, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. besides…he got the keys keys , he got the keys keys….haha (that’s a jam though, in case you are lost, Jayz and future and bunch of other fellas). In high school we used to say, case baadae!

Well that’s it, that’s what happened. was it worth it? hell yeah!!!!!! That’s it peace out.
