Is
our generation shallow? Like not analytical, critical or even relevant enough
for our own good? Are
we the generation that would
rather just take pics of their babies and cute family post them on Instagram
rather than actually ‘work on our relationship with those kids?’ Do we really
believe that these relationships can be built this way? Are we the kind of
women who simply sleep with the man we want to marry on the first or second
date and hope that he will still stay? The generation that does not know what
delayed gratification is and how good that feels, the generation that will pick
money and travelling over love? Is there something wrong with us? I say maybe,
but isn’t there something wrong with everyone? Actually no, absolutely nothing
is wrong with us. We are just imperfect. Our parents have constantly taught us
this, growing up. In fact, it is, if anyone’s fault, mostly theirs that we
turned out the way we did. Have you seen the divorce and separation statistics?
Anyway, I am giving everyone a break as we all should. It is really never that
serious. I mean we take it too far sometimes. The blogs, I would like a good
read sometime. There are unfortunately very few relevant bloggers to read about
in this country. I am not one of them because mine is not to be known but just
share real genuine thoughts. But there are these extremely annoying posts on
how badly behaving Kenyan women and high school students are at parties. Each
time I see it, I throw my hands up, I give up you know why? Because they are at
a party why do they have to behave at all?
The worst part is these bloggers do not even type the word sex, they use
the numeral 3 in the place of e like s3x and I am shaking my damn head because,
how the hell are you about to investigate something you cannot openly talk
about. It is really very immature if you ask me I say grow the hell up. It
completely okay to be mildly opinionated if you are trying to be controversial
but sometimes, a few not all, and mostly the s3xtyping kind, are just
completely stupid.
I
genuinely wish that some Kenyan blogs would be either realistic or reasonable
and not just blindly judgmental and opinionated. Then I might just join the
party and we could sit together on our laptops at two am and have an exchange. I
would set some time for it I promise just to laugh with them all or share real
ideas if the content falls on either of these sides and is not the result of day
spent looking at people by the edge some bad glasses with poorly done eyebrows.
I am sorry; I am among the least judgmental people in the world top of the
list. I swear if there was Forbes for least
judgmental twenty five under twenty five, I would be up there without a
parachute not ever landing. But do not do something stupid and quote this post.
I have done my best to explain imperfection; I am also very good at practicing
it.
The
best part is that we were never meant to be perfect. In fact we human beings
hate perfection so much we brutally murdered the Son of God for being perfect.
He forgave us, see that’s why He’s perfect and we are not and that is why we
can talk about our imperfections here and laugh about it instead of killing
ourselves over it. I’m telling you; we are that flawed generation and the
solution is not to lecture girls on learning how to cook and not having
sponsors. I mean, do we all not make our decisions soundly? No I do not think
it is in trying to change young men from who they have chosen to be. In fact, I
do not believe in changing anyone. I just believe in understanding that we are
already adults; hopefully that’s who’s reading this. And I hope we understand what
that means, that we do not have to agree with the actions of others but we
ought to respect them regardless. That we choose to live our lives despite and
not because of what other people choose to do with their lives. Seriously
though let us get our gluts up enjoy this ride, it is after all, a free world.
