CRIES FROM THE TIPIS IN THE RIFT VALLEY 2.0.

Hey there dear readers✨😊,

Karibuni sana to my long, very overdue entry, and I hope we are all doing well😊❣.

Aki imagine I am so sorry for disappearing just like that and to be honest with you guys, I can't even give one reason why I haven't written an entry in a minute but in case you're curious (maybe this is just because my conscience feels the need to explain myself for some peace and sanity😅); I have genuinely been busy and all over matters school and other stuff and when that's not happening, I am just in bed being lazy and resting from my burn out and if not that, I am just out with my friends and if not that, the spirit of procrastination and inconsistency takes over😂.

Anyways, long story short, the cycle has just been going on like that till I decided to break it today because it was becoming a little bit monotonous and I definitely missed this space as well😉😊.

🥰Shoutout to everyone that is having exams or has had exams because well it's tough out here and everyone is in the #Okoasemester mood. All the best and I hope it turns out great😊.

You gat this lovelies!🔆💯

I don't really have a lot to say about myself but I still have a lot to say😁. I am not entirely sure you get what I mean but it's more like the same thing we females say, "I have clothes but I don't have something to wear!", that's me right now😂😂.

There's so much that has happened in my life since my previous entry but genuinely speaking, I am happy, I am blessed and I am grateful for all the opportunities, experiences, lessons, and people that have been put in my path this past few weeks✨❤. My heart is content for sure😍🥺.

📌MOVIE RECOMMENDATION: Love tactics is definitely something I would highly recommend because the storyline is something so many of us will relate to on matters of relationships💯😉. So head on to Netflix and enjoy love tactics😍😍.

📌SONGS OF THE MONTH: Well, as per usual for me, Kinoti and Ethan will always be on my daily music list but this time for Ethan, I've been jamming to Witness and it's all sorts of moods🥰💯, and as for Kinoti, Milele has proven to be it for me🤩🔥. If you haven't checked them out, imagine we are not friends😅🤭. Get out please😂🙄, I'm just messing though, sasa utalia😂😂.

Moreover, I was introduced to some bomb Kenyan underrated musicians that should definitely grace your ears with their amazing voices🔥😍.

Head on to Spotify and check out Njoki Karu and Barbara Wangui😍😍. You will definitely love them that's for sure🦋🔆.

CRIES FROM THE TIPIS IN THE RIFT VALLEY 2.0

Dear readers,

Let's pick it up from where we left yeah?🥱

But before that, it's so sad to know that a girl died as a result of bullying in school #justiceforEbby. Yaani, she was beaten brutally all over her body just for having her hair in a different hairstyle as revealed by a classmate of hers. The school proceeded to say that she left the school alive and died in the hospital when the truth was that she never woke up the next morning😪.

In relation to this story, I am so sure each one of us has some pretty twisted stories about our high school experiences. For some, it's probably about how hunger was such a serious part of being in high school 😂😢 juu the way I used to kill people in a race to get breakfast and how much I simped for Home science students and Muslims during Ramadhan heeh😂😭.

Nonetheless, for others, it's about how much we went through inside the walls of those institutions🙌💔!

Anyways, today's entry is about my form two experience in that school heeh. Again if you know, you know😂😢.

So it all began when I went back to school for a new year and all my form four friends were no longer there hence, this made the condition even worse for me since I really missed them so much😭.

Frankly speaking, so much about me was just badly messed up at this point juu I remember that I began self-harming at that time and one time the deputy principal found out and all she could tell me was, "You know if this goes wrong you could ruin the reputation of the school. What is wrong with you? Sisi hatutaki mashida"

By the way, friends were such Judas Iscariots in high school juu sasa why are you telling people my stories aiii🌚❗

Somehow though, I honestly can't blame her for reacting like that because I already knew she never liked me one bit so she definitely didn't even care about me😂🥱.

You ask me how I know she never liked me, well I can give you like 10000 reasons like maybe because I was always the sick girl that was afraid of exams or maybe because I was the girl that had walked in with outstanding grades but was performing terribly or maybe because no matter how well I performed in her subject that one girl that was perfect was always going to be the one getting awards😪❗. I know, I know that maybe I sound selfish but imagine when the other girl would top in English, she would get an award then on my end I'd only get a good job that wasn't even genuine, unfair much, yes, no, maybe?

Regardless, mimi I still continued existing till all hell broke loose and everything just took a turn for the worst😭💔.

A girl starts acting up and she's having these bad migraines and ulcers that were just so chaotic. I had all these medications yaani, I just wanted to go home I swear!😭

I definitely forgot to give you guys the tea of how I almost saw the light in form one this one time hadi my mum was called and told I might not make it to the next day but that's a story for another day heeh🥱.

Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up because things get crazy from here on!

So this one time, rumors were just going about that the school has lesbians and since I had overheard such a conversation in the one of teacher's office while getting something, I had never guessed I'd be dragged in the mix as well😂because surely how even!

It all began this one time after drama festivals and genuinely speaking I was so tired to make my own bed so I asked my bedmate to like share her bed with me and then the next morning the Deputy principal was doing a morning round and found us so in return I got punished and thought that we the end of it. Lakini wapi heh!

Loves, I had a friend that we will call Lola for confidentiality purposes and she was always thought to be one among that group as she had masculine looks and mannerisms( I mean, I wasn't even surprised because that school was just the ghettoo😑). She was close to me because I felt so open with her since she was honestly such a great listener.

Wait till I get called to the administration block one Saturday afternoon and I am asked if I am dating Lola heeh😒🙃. "Like excuse me what? Me...Lola...dating?"

I honestly almost laughed so hard because, at that moment, I could not believe that I was being asked such a question😂🤷‍♂️.

The deputy principal was accompanied by my drama teacher and I could just feel an urge in me to ask her, "Respectfully madam, do you find me with a group of girls or boys when you're always complaining that I need to be rehearsing?"

My people, none of it made any sense to me🙄but apparently they didn't believe me so I just went 6 feet under the whole time😭.

There was no proof or evidence but I was apparently another girl's wife not even girlfriend heh😂🤷‍♂️.

Imagine being called to a meeting and the principal says there's only one form 2 suspect so everyone in the room starts looking at you since they know it's you😢.

Isolation, shame when everyone looked at you in disgust, pain from lost friendships because not many wanted to be associated with you and can we talk about the worry that was killing me in every possible way since everyone in the offense with me was getting expelled😪😩.

I knew to myself that I would not mind getting expelled at all because I was honestly so done with that school I swear💔😭.

The things teachers to students were saying about me just made me wish to have my existence vanish off the face of the earth😭😭.

Not to mention the fact that I began to believe that I was nothing but a failure since I was now even getting grades like Ds and D+, imagine a whole me that used to be such a smart girl😂😪.

Let me tell you guys, the way teachers talk about students in high school can be the end of you in that school. They will all treat you badly just because something about you was mentioned or discussed in the staffroom especially the female ones while some of the stories weren't even true😒.

I had one favorite teacher though!

Shoutout to that amazing man of God that somehow never let me go🥱❗ He literally defended me from that shabang when things were getting serious mpaka the school's BOM was involved I swear😩💯.

To be continued...

Stay tuned to know what happened next!
