Welcome to my World🍃🧚🏾‍♀️

Welcome to My World🍃🧚🏾‍♀️

 I am Surprise, a storyteller, singer and creative spirit exploring the intersections of art, beauty and truth. My journey flows through many forms; music, writing, creative modeling and sharing lived experiences with others who walk this path of growth and self-discovery. Kwa mtandao, including here on this blog, I open windows into my world: the rhythm of my thoughts, the lessons of my journey, and the quiet strength found in both vulnerability and resilience. I believe that every image, every rhyme, every lyric and every reflection carries the power to heal, to connect and to remind us of our shared humanity. My work is deeply rooted in African philosophy, personal transformation and creative expression . Whether through my writings, reflective posts, music or performance, I aim to create a space where art feels alive, where it isn’t just seen or heard, but felt . This blog is an extension of that vision; a place where words stretch beyond, where stories unfold, and where cre...

Along the Milky Way

Clip, Clop He comes riding down, Along the milky way. Swish, Swash She comes cutting through, Along the milky way. Well, you know, black people... Breathtaking! The imprints of the mysteries Delicately, yet strongly Embedded in the star dust, That is skin! Well, you know, black people... Mind boggling! The wires intertwining, vibing Securely, soundly Anchored in, casting live! In Bey's words: If you feel insignificant, you better think again Better wake up because you're part of something way bigger You're part of something way bigger Not just a speck in the universe Not just some words in a bible verse You are the living word Ahh, you're part of something way bigger Bigger than you, bigger than we Bigger than the picture they framed us to see But now we see it And it ain't no secret, no Clip, Clop He comes riding down, Along the milky way. Swish, Swash She comes cutting through, Along the milky way Let us journey along! by Nyagoha😚

SOLITUDE

I've been wondering, do other people also go through these phases that I go through. I really do not want to term them as 'depressive' phases, but for lack of a better word. Something else that I am wondering, if it is so that majority of people go through these phases, how often do they occur? Because I am seated here feeling like this is now getting boring. I better snap out of it. Just realized that me feeling like this is a projection of societal expectations. "Kwani wewe huwa unago through it kila saa?!" But then I literally cannot just snap out of it. Plus it is not as bad as it sounds. Na sii Kila saa. I am always in awareness when going through these phases. Also, I just realized that they occur when I have been pouring too much into other people's cups, and I am in dire need of solitude.  In all honesty, I do enjoy the solitude. Because it leaves me to my thoughts and the only person I have to worry about in that moment is me. Lakini, watu wanawachwa ...

 I often wonder how it must feel to be bathed in milk and honey be bathed in the flowers of the season fragrant and honeyed I often wonder how it must feel to have the rug pulled out  from right under your feet have to trust that that is what your purpose is Yet these are both yin and yang light and dark ups and downs the duality that is life that comes at us all Tribute to my aunty❤️

I Live my Life Everyday Like I'm a Legend!

  Gooosh, three months down the line! Glad to be writing this while listening to Alusa Why are you Topless? Intro and the first song in na already nafeel I will have trouble picking favourites. It's been a whole three months of so much transformation, hadi siamini. I'm looking at the drafts that I have since the last time I posted and it all makes sense now. The things I wanted to express then, I didn't have the words for them yet. The process was not done processing🤣. Funny how once the lessons are learnt, following the repentance, the point of view makes the most sense. Unless you go through the process, you would not quite acquire the lens to see it that way. They say we all experience different realities. Even while looking at the same thing, we still do not see the same thing. Now I get it! I quit my first ever job in the span of the three months. Felt like I was losing my shit! I have lost relationships so close to my heart, in the span of three months. My world was ...

just wingin' it😰✌🏾

Leo tunamedi na Tems❤️✨ I will wait for you, for yooou!! I guess that is how it just became. Lakini akajifunza huwezi okoa anybody but yourself. And then it became "if you couldn't be reminded baby girl I'm gonna remind you now" and a whole waste of energy. Habits die hard, or whatever they say.  Crazy tings are âppening!!😂 I think the best part about being in love with a particular song is it being able to translate different circumstances that are yet so similar. Hiyo ilikuwa inaitwa aje kwa literature? Juxtaposition I think. So basically, I might not be weak Basically, I might not be falling Basically, I might be used to this. Yoooh! That is exactly how I am feeling sis. Lived and learning... Affirmation for the month: I'm trouble making trouble Trouble is what excites me No one can do it like me Trouble is making trouble If I was the ganja, you bring the lighter Roll in me rizla, Set me on 🔥! Peace😚✌🏾

Narcissist Much!!!

There is an unexplainable sense of bliss when you outplay the player!! Bado sijui ni lesson gani exactly yenye universe unataka nilearn from an experience I am currently going through, but I am here for it; fully emersed. Anyway, the new world order is built on a staggering abundance of narcissism, God complex and victim mentality. What do I even expect if I am part of that matrix🤦🏾‍♀️ Basic human decency seems to be an out-of-this-world-never-existed-ever concept to some ignorant folks out here. To be honest, it's not just sad, but also maddening😤 and sickening🤢 to the pits of my stomach. Hata nimeshindwa kuendelea kutype. So I will just post this as is and do the rest on my journal😌.  Kind Reminder You are better than the crumbs that they keep leaving you. I had actually written give, but hata hizo crumbs huwa hawakupei, ni juu tu hizo ndio zinakuanga zimebaki. Acting like their 'generosity' is what keeps you afloat on this earth.  Sir, Ma'am, heal!!! Then you ge...

I DID it! I finally got around to it, I finally got around to seeing it as is  I finally got around to accepting that it is what it is I finally got around to I can't save you I finally got around to I can only save myself I finally got around to "you are here for the experience" I finally got around to letting it flow  I finally got around to I can't have it  I finally got around to letting it go I DID it! I finally got around to it. This is dedicated to the small wins that nobody realizes🍃✨. in honour of mercury retrograde and the eclipse we have just been through🤧💪🏾
