Women and their hormonal imbalance

Kenya: Women are complicated beings, so the phrase goes. I am more than sure every man has ever said these words at some point in his life. And it’s true. We are complicated. At times I never even understand myself. I get angry, happy, jealous, and supportive all at once.

I sometimes wake up smiling to the whole world and there are times my eyes will convince you I’m on a mission to destroy the man race just because you said hey'. I will cry but ask me why and I will have no answer for you. Then I will cry the more because you do not understand me and as my man you should know me better. In short I will blame you for not knowing why I am crying.

But just to make this conversation lighter and easy to understand each other, I will relate it to fashion.

Each year each season comes new designs, new colours, and new shapes. We embrace fashion. We love it!! Now for ladies, let’s go back to that one pair of jeans that makes your lovely behind stand out, or those boots you always love or that cute leather jacket that goes with everything you wear it with. Be it a windy, sunny, rainy day it serves you well. So despite the fact that you have other fashionable clothes in your closet your one leather jacket goes nowhere. You can’t imagine losing it and you make all kinds of excuses for your best friend not to borrow it.

For guys, I know you all love your gadgets. They have become so popular, slimmer and more accurate and as much as you want them all, there is that one that you just can’t let go of. This is a phone or a watch. I have heard guys saying they love their touch phones but will always go for a "mulika mwiizi" especially for business. Why? Its battery charge lasts longer, It’s never gone missing during all the crazy endeavours with the boys and it sure as hell can get good reception anywhere he travels to.

Hoping we are all on the same page now, let us equate fashion with relationships. Ladies, that leather jacket that got you covered through it all is your man. Treat him good and he will last. Men, she is all you never got from the rest. She can clean, cook, look good and still manage to impress your mum.

Your boys say you got yourself a wife material. Let’s not mess up by rushing to the mall every time we hear there is a new design on the market that can replace what we have. Yes, it is easier to replace than to upgrade. But how many times will you keep on replacing? We should learn how to upgrade and by upgrade I mean make the best out of each other, be honest about things, grow together, physically, financially, and spiritually. Grow.

Until people start to realize this, good relationships will be thrown out of the window every time a new girl moves in your neighbourhood or when a big pot-bellied man passes by in a new Black Range Rover Sport. And the cycle will never end. Because that new will become old, and you will be back in the 'game' looking for a new NEW.
