Local Woman Brags Of Marriage, Taunts Kenyan Women Over 30 Who Live In Bedsitters

A twenty-something-year-old woman on Kenyan Twitter got both heat and support after she bragged how her life was going on smoothly. She hurt many others when she said that while all was well for her, women older than her were still unmarried and drinking like EABL ambassadors.

We look at why some truth hurts even when it is covered by pride.

Kuna ujinga type mbili: natural na ya kujiwekelea. Ile natural ni kama ya Ferdinand Waititu yaani kitu haiwezi toka. Hii yako ni ya kujiwekelea, ukifunzwa na ulimwengu inaeza isha.

Because being married and having kids is a RESPONSIBILITY loaded with meaning which some aimless individuals would rather avoid. Life's meaning comes with bearing responsibility and without it happiness is a mirage. IT'S NOT EASY BUT CARRY THE DAMN CROSS.

Add this to the list of cliche individuals who believe being married & having kids is an achievement.. "Woe unto us" who aren't there yet, we must be "failing terribly"🙄🙄
