I did a THING!
Woke up bright and early, drove to the end of the world (okay, fine, a few miles shy of THE END of the world) just to ride a bike.
I know what you’re thinking. Kuendesha bike tu?
This was NOT your ordinary bike ride! NOPE! No! Noooooooo!
This was me living out a fantasy!
Where did this fantasy come from, you ask?
Oh, I’m so glad you did.
*Pulls a seat* You’ll want to sit down for this one!
Flashback: Many, many, MANY moons ago, back in campus, we went for this camp. On the itinerary? Bike riding.
I was hyped! Dreamed about it! Saw myself gliding through open roads, yellow tulips swaying in the breeze, wind in my hair, helmet securely on (safety first, folks), and my favorite songs in my ears. Beside me? One of my favorite humans back then.(If you catch the drift *wink*).. Bliss!
Then morning came.
And with it, the dreaded call: “Watu wanajua kuride bike?” Twendeni...
Cue my heart dropping to the floor. Dreams audibly shuttering in my soul!
Mimi? ICE? Did I know how to ride a bike?
If you said yes... WHO are you, and why are you lying to both of us?!
Also. It's didn't help that 'Favorite human' not only knew how to BUT was Darn good at it! NKT!
From THAT day, I’ve been counting down to this moment—when I could finally ride down open roads, tulips or no tulips, wind in my hair (helmet on, obviously), audiobook playing, person or NOT and just... LIVE.
And guess what? I DID IT!
Is every part of my body screaming in utter pain?
If you said no... *points to the FIRE EXIT.*
BUT—is my soul absolutely, positively, unapologetically joyful? You bet it is. WINK.
Oh, and before I go: there’s this proper hidden gem called @Fig&Olive Restaurant where I had the most amazing coffee! This is NOT A coffee POST So I shall NOT Go there- LAkini dreams DO Come True!
Tuseme this year we’re romanticizing life. Because guess what?
IT IS a darn good life.
Tumesema happy New Year Ama Bado?
*Raises glass* To a #Dreamy2025
