Madness

Love is a temporary madness

It erupts like volcanoes and then subsides

And when it subsides 

You have to make a decision

You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together 

That it is inconceivable that you should ever part

Because this is what love is

Love is not breathlessness 

It is not excitement 

It is not the promulgation of eternal passion 

That is just being in love 

Which any fool can do

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away 

And this is both an art and a fortunate accident

Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground 

And when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches

They find that they are one tree and not two

The beautiful words above are from Captain Corelli's Mandolin, a novel by Louis de Bernières. Originally, it's a quote, but I've edited it a bit, made it appear like a poem for a better reading experience.

I'm enjoying my Singles Awareness Day!!! Are you??... Come on! Give me some consolation here, I can't be alone on this haha! 

It would please you to know that I was contemplating to sleep all day, from yesterday, then wake up on 15th.

Happy Valentines! I love you all! :-)

 Do you religiously follow Scandal? Have you watched it's latest episode {s}?... If you have, fill me in! Fill me in! I'm yet to catch up on the show from when Olivia Pope mysteriously went missing. My life is not complete, I need to know where Olivia is! Haha!

I tend to gravitate towards an androgynous style when I have the girl flu... It happens almost unconsciously for me, I'm thinking maybe because half of the time I keep wishing I were a boy. 

You know, really, It would be super great, if we girls just got text messages, every month, with the words "Congratulations! You're not pregnant!" or "Congratulations! You're soooo pregnant!" instead of going through all this... This hell... Mother nature! Yoo hoo! Ever hear my vents??

So my sister abhors this shirt I'm wearing, but I love it, sis hope you're reading this, I looooove it... Because leaves.

Generally, I find man repelling, tomboy looks very comfy and at times like these when I'm surfing the crimson wave, comfort is all I seek in clothes.

Everything I'm wearing is thrifted, except the Masai bracelets which I got from  Kariokor Market, Nairobi. My friend Kevin and I are still playing around with my camera's settings to find what works best, excuse the meh lighting on the pictures.

Have a lovely, productive week!

 I discovered blogging 3 years ago when I was eighteen, yeah, I became internet savvy not too long ago. A few months after I graduated from high school, my brother mentioned to me, in passing, how easy it was to create a blog on free platforms such as Blogger, WordPress, Weebly... And how you could share with the world whatever you wanted through it. I was honestly fascinated by the whole idea of blogging, still I'm.

I'd be up till 4 a.m sometimes, I became a night owl, thanks to visiting and reading a myriad of blogs on the internet. I remember, I particularly enjoyed stumbling upon fashion, lifestyle and creative blogs, I would read them, stare and drool over their amazing photos, bookmark them and reread them. 

Slowly and all at once, a passion came over me, I wished to put a mark on the blogsphere, like the many bloggers I had viewed. I wanted to be a source of inspiration as well, I wanted to share snippets of my life as well, I wanted to document my personal journey of self discovery and transformation, I wanted this.

First post! I did it! {insert crazy happy, dancing emoticon here}.

My name is Yvonne, welcome to "Jua Na Maua". Thank you so very much for visiting! Please pass by again to take a ride into my ultimate adventure.

Love & Light
