“First and foremost, embrace your sensitivity rather than fight it. For a long time, I saw my sensitivity as a flaw that needed fixing. I’d hear people tell me to “toughen up” or “stop being so sensitive,” and I took those words to heart. But the more I tried to suppress my sensitivity, the more miserable and anxious I became. It wasn’t until I began to accept myself for who I am that I started to see my sensitivity as a gift. It’s what allows me to connect with others deeply and write stories that resonate with people on a personal level. Embracing who I am has been empowering, and it’s allowed me to harness my sensitivity as a strength.”

“Wazazi wetu ni watu wa kuheshimu kuliko kitu kingine chochote kile kwa sababu wana uwezo wa kuona tusipoweza kuona. Yaani, wanajua kilichokuwepo kabla ya sisi kuzaliwa na wanajua kilichokuwepo baada ya sisi kuzaliwa. Maisha tuliyopitia, wazazi wetu walishapitia. Tulipokuwa, wazazi wetu walishakuwepo; na tulichofanya, wazazi wetu walishafanya. Hivyo, hatuna budi kuwaheshimu wazazi wetu. Lakini, wazazi wetu wanapaswa kujiheshimu kutufundisha adabu na maadili mema.”
