The human condition seems to push our focus away from the gift that is the present and the reality of the here and now. Rather it engulfs us in the tomorrow and the before or the should've, could've and would've of the time. We fail to look at who we are introspectively. Whilst appreciating the beautiful things within all the negative and pugnacious situations and relationships we are in.
Nairobi was or is fondly referred to as the city in the sun. However over the years things have changed. As residents there seems to be nothing appealing about this city. The Masai named this place "Enkare Nairobi" which means the place of cool waters. In my opinion, it must have been beautiful.
There is beauty in our cracks and regardless of the situation there is something beautiful in us all. Find the beauty in your imperfections and situations.
