Living Yo Life

"Am friends with a monster, that's under my bed"
That's rihannah's "the monster" it just can't stop ringing in my head. I think its because my friend is a monster, not really with grotesque features but behaviour-wise he is kind of a monster.  No one tells us which friend to choose. You just find yourself having one...actually sometimes when asked you can never remember how you became friends. Well there are several kinds of friends that I would like to explore. Lets start with the most common one. The "pocket friendly"  the genotype is self explanatory. They have adapted to their nature and developed a beak for sucking your money, they have turned you into a goldmine which they can gold dig then after sucking you dry have no shame to flee. Luckily I don't have such.
"Punk exploiters" this actually are locally called users. They make you do things for them and they pay you.They don't value of your friendship but appreciate your services. I went through such an ordeal when a pal I had made me take him to see his girlfriend and I could watch them make out. Not to forget that I was single and not searching at the moment. So you can imagine what I was going through.
''Useless pity'' these are so rare that they hardly seem to exist. The kind are somehow amusing. In an experience with such you aught to take care of what you say for he might turn it against you. Sometimes when one is depressed and overflowing with stress, wishing he was dead he tends to be vulnerable. At such times one never feels content to share his problems with his common friends so when he finds some guy he thinks he can trust he shares his problems and the guy shows little pity with some crocodile tears to him. After sometime the nincompoop sells you out. That's when you curse the wise man who said "regrets come after a fall".
"Tails" these are part time buddies, whether male or female, but intimate. The intimacy here doesn't need to be relationship ( respective to opposite sexes) but just really good friends. You go everywhere together and by everywhere I mean everywhere even when one goes to the loo. The other is waiting outside. Practically when you see one of them you smell the other in the air. As much as this type of friendship seems to be the perfect one it has a setback. Just like tyres, they fade away. After a month or two the covalent bond turns to van der Waals forces which eventually vanish.
Everyone in this round, sphere thing called earth have people who when around them, they can be themselves.(show their true colours). These people can either be friends or family or in some weird occasions, strangers. Being one true self makes one feel as a whole, content and stress free. Women are considered to be quite comforting but at the same time the triggers of discomfort. Some guys would actually feel safer at gunpoint or in pursuit by a crocodile than facing a girl, for like many guys, there is always fear of rejection.
In this short life with only only three stages of life(childhood, teenage, adult) one should once in a while "break free" like Ariana Grande, from the chain of parent rules and school rules. At least I see campus kids do that in parties where they show their true colours and humble in shame the following day. Its advisable to do that for if you don't, you'll create a total mess when you do. This is why some teenagers go clubbing and are dumbfounded to find out that the girl they are holding hands and dancing with is at the same time grinding his dad behind the scene.
The funny thing about friendship is that even foes have friends branded as foe friends, which means that everyone has someone he/ she can trust in life. Those who show their true colours when only with strangers live in fear of the opinion given by those who surround them. But the truth is, if they are really your true friends, they will understand and encourage you rather than judge you or flee.
Sometimes you do something out of pure sacrifice for a friend but never get quite the appreciation equal to the favour. Never despair swallow hard and live life. Its not that they are not thankful its just part of being African. We do not have such extremely kind hearts like the people from the west. When you trip and fall in the west your mum will pick you up saying sorry and scrubbing off the dirt, do the same in Kenya, you will be flanged upward and given a thorough beating and at the same time being asked a chain of rhetorical questions like"where were you looking at instead of concentrating on the road? How many times have I warned you about staring at things? Why are you crying when its all your fault? And many more.
Its quite a shame to admit this but, out of the kindness of my heart I feel obliged to share with you an unspeakable, embarrassing thing I do when am alone. I get quite emotional when I watch movies and sometimes I do cry for both joy and sorrow expressed in movies. This is why I like watching movies alone, imitating the western style, where they drink a smoothie with popcorns as snacks but I replace them with roasted maize as I wash it down with water.
I will finally adjourn in style by giving you a bitter sweet advice. To be a good friend always appreciate your friends by doing assignments for them, buying them lunch, washing their clothes and never expect anything in return. #THIS APPLIES TO ALL MY FRIENDS, IF YOU OPPOSE ANY OF THOSE, I WILL CRY.
But seriously trust is the key to friendship and honesty is the lock. Always be ready to forgive for like the Bible says "all human beings are sinners"  and so we are bound to make mistakes once in a while. The basic aspect of living your life is not about isolating oneself from opinions by those who surround you but it's about opening up and revealing your true self to your true and trustworthy friends. So be glad to be human and appreciate it by doing good deeds to your fellow beings. Imagine if the Almighty gave all this brains to a cow. Women could be milked and men would plough farms, although one thing to be enjoyed would be the wild sex. No more courting. This could be really fun, running after any female you spot and mounting on them in daylight. Extreme crazy. I really thank God for making us human coz slaughter houses are just not my thing.
End.
