I'm writing this post from my apartment in Mombasa. This town has always represented magicalness for me. Sort of surreal I must say, long walks by the beach, beautiful coastal culture and cuisine. So I am working briefly here, a lovely opportunity, I must admit. I've been here for a week , I am still looking forward to having dinner at the sea courtesy of the beautiful Tamarind dhow restaurant.
However, what I'd like to do most is visit the beautiful island of Lamu. I have heard many great things said about this town and I would like to exprience it by myself. I would like to see the beautiful scenery at night, mostly I'd like to escape it all. Normally, my life is crazy, from work to my social life and I have set out to do so many things that I haven't achieved even quarter way, for me going to Lamu is a milestone, a new beginning. Best of me by Chrisette Michelle represents what I'm going through right now. Honestly, I am just in search of the truth.
I'm doing things differently starting now. Lamu is sort of the pictures I will take to remind me or rather to commensurate this time in my life. My last inspiring read was eat pray love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I'm going to have a mini eat pray love for myself, I loved her ideas and mostly, I loved that she seeked to find her truth and she got it. You know, most people I've told about the concept of the book seem to find it absurd that she had to travel those long distances just to find the truth. I believe in the mantra ::Do what you can, where you are with what you have by Theodore Roosevelt. I will do what I can with what I have.
