About Love...and Mr K.

Hey...yo all. Trying to keep it weekly and not let the laziness creep in.
Been thinking about love lately.Love is a beautiful thing if it is reciprocated love.
Can't call myself an expert on all things Love since I have been in one serious relationship since I was 19 years old and still at it at 23,  still going strong.
Everything else i had before then was inconsequential..didn't feel like it then but it was majorly major crushes on anyone deemed handsome. Back in my high school days, i had this major crush on Pilipili, always thought we were soul mates...the eyes..let me not even talk about that. Then followed major crushes on Craig David, Marcus Houston and Omarion...I always had the idea that if these guys came to Kenya for a concert( which i would obviously attend and have a front row seat) the minute any of them would spot me in the crowd, they would realize that God had sent them here to meet the African beauty made for them..hehe! they still haven't come yet and the crush has worn off....until i watch another video of them. 
Anyway, am happy where am at right now. This is the 5th year and everything is still as awesome if not even better. Of course it hasn't been without hitches, a couple of break-ups here and there, doubts here and there, a couple of tears and stormy days , but at the end of it all. it prevailed.
Let's call him Mr K. He is a great guy( not biased, wouldn't have stuck through 5 years if he wasn't), sensitive, caring, interesting, intelligent( a major deal for me) and has a sense of humor. I can positively say he can handle me.....not an easy feat i promise you. I am stubborn and strong headed( been told loadsa times) but he manages to quell them....And did i mention that he is the brutally honest sort...That can be wonderful and highly infuriating at times.Wonderful when compliments are being paid coz i know they are totally honest( what girl doesn't appreciate compliments?) and frustrating when he's pointing out that my hair doesn't look great or that am acting like a baby...Well, but i know him well enough not to listen when he thinks that my shoes are ugly- anything ultra chic doesn't make much sense to him lol! 
Now why have i been thinking about Love a lot lately? Well, am about to embark on a long distance relationship. Never had that before so i have to admit it is a scary prospect,especially now that lot's of changes are happening in my life...He's going away for a while and i will miss him like crazy. Maybe it's not a bad thing, maybe it is a time to grow stronger as individuals, and become better persons to make a stronger team together. After all, they say that Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
On another note...here is my siz, people say we look a lot alike, i don't know about that but i know that she is awesome.

Beautiful girl...Nan-c.

I know i haven't blogged as regularly as i should have, I put it down to laziness, but never again. Not been a good week for me. Actually, never had a worse week. Woke up to the death of my best friend's mum. Beautiful woman, never met her but my girl always told me so much about her that i felt i knew her. Was hoping to meet her someday, that didn't happen. Now this friend of mine is the kind of girl anyone would hope to have for a friend. Always tells me off when am out of line and if i wanted a honest opinion, she's my go to girl.
Been going through some difficult moments lately, difficult in the sense that they were unforeseen and she has been by my side when most took off...and i mean that.Haven't heard from them yet I really thought they were my pals. People i thought were my true friends were well, fakes!
Nancy is her name. A lovely girl with such a loving touch and humble demeanor yet a surprising strength that would make many a people feel inadequate.
If you have a friend like i have, appreciate her and be glad that you have a true friend in your corner, someone who sees past your bullshits and fronts of false bravado when all you want to do is breakdown and cry.
I only pray for Nancy to get through this.Losing a mum is the worst thing that could happen to any child. The only comfort is that the lovely woman is at peace now, a true angel watching over the daughter who graciously nursed her to the end.

Cheers to Nancy, a woman like no other. A girl i want to be like, a girl i would want my future daughters to be like.
