Geese! What a night, morning and Afternoon, I literally stayed up for approximately 36hrs barking like a mad Chihuahua on Twitter the whole night, and woke up twitter with the same lower pitched voice but still audible enough for impact until this afternoon when I was more like a zombie and it was worth it. This was not only a test for stamina or resilience per say even though It took having a lot of it to be able to stay up all those hours which ended up depleting in large amounts in the final hours. Note to self: enough sleep is very important What was I doing then and why twitter?
Sense in words
Words can become conditions that you experience on a very real level. - Iyanla Vanzant
When I realized what had to be done for my life and found strength in words, I immediately knew my purpose, it was to be larger than my own life,it required me to invade lives in an extraordinary way. And I had to use the only strength I possess for the invasion: Words.
So trust me I know this better than anyone, I got my good share of the very real level word experience. I love talking I even surprise myself at times and this power of the voice had to be released somehow in a responsible manner. I know most people will think of the spider man movie: Harry, with great power comes great responsibility… Or am I the only one thinking of it?I needed to start somewhere though and social media was the only placed I could access a lot of people who were already exchanging words on a daily basis and this is where it all started. I used every social media I could get access to hence I ended up in twitter.

Listening and the Power of the Mind
I do make noise when I start barking and to some it moves them and inspires change, unfortunately not everyone gets this tune they still listen to it, and fir the love in me I don’t know why they keep listening to it and it moves them diffidently to the opposite side of growth. Maybe they are interested in it and need more convincing, and I can’t ignore them because their movement stirs up a lot of commotion. And this is the first example of how words become conditions that people experience on a very real level. A person with a mind set on growth will immediately pick up a tune that will benefit him/her and quickly gets the rhythm and flows with it. Oh mntakabawo! (Oh Lord!) Then we have those with a fixed mind set, who struggle to listen to understand my sweet Jazz melody, and you can’t blame them for not getting in tune because for all I know, these so called sweet melody could simply be a screeching sound which raises their curiosity.
Listening and Sight
Because I want to carry as many people as possible to betterment I try to entice them with the beauty of life through imagery. Showing them how life’s beauty can be found in the most things we might think of as being insignificant and whisper so gently in their ears life’s beautiful stories. But my whisper is not heard or is simply ignored because it sounds like an old man’s voice whose throat has been burnt over the years from drinking too much cheap brandy.
Feeling and Heart
If I can’t move them to the right direction with my sweet melody or entice them with life’s beautiful stories and view, I can only try touching their lives. I can only hope to reach out as best as I can. The response has been remarkable this way, and people seem to be responding quite positively to the call.

Social Media
Social media has indeed provided a platform to interact and has made it easier for us [word revolutionists] to spread the message of growth to a lot of people. It’s unfortunate, as we live in times where people don’t realize how much power words have in impacting harm in other people’s lives. The realization is restricted by the how the burden of guilt is quickly eliminated by pressing the send button or from hiding behind a hash-tag and RT. Yho! Mchana the hash-tag and RT one I can’t seem to catch up with it zizithonga! (shots!) that are just too fast for my mind I doubt I would get it. As amusing as it is, I fear many end up not expressing how they truly feel because it’s not their words after all, they are just sharing the same condition repeatedly. It would be understandable if the condition contained wisdom or hope but it’s senseless, perhaps that is why I can’t imagine myself getting a hang of it. I do enjoy amusing conditions like T.Ts threads and also… who’s that other guy wezitya konje [washing the dishes] I am sure you know him because they bring joy and laughter. However when used as weapons of dream crushing it becomes worrying. My point is, a trend in all the things I’ve mentioned forms, the ability to feel is numbed slowly but surely and striping away with it our humanity.
How can you hope such a person who has lost all ability to feel and who’s lifeless to grow!
Mchana! I can only inspire what is there, if you’ve emptied yourself of humanity perhaps the screeching you hear is your soul crying out for help.. And you are starving it and feeding your spirit with non-sense.
Now do you understand why I stay up at Night, Morning and Afternoon?
Why I try to trick you to eat your medicine at times?
Do you now understand that my zombie is not so scary?
I care mchana! I might not have all the answers but my life’s purpose is centered around helping you while at the same the same time helping myself.
If you’ve emptied out your spirit let me fill you up by assuring you:
I love you Mchana!
You’re beautiful Mchana!
You’re Blessed Mchana!
There you go, Love, Confidence and Blessings..
Now feed that soul and keep that dream alive!
Mchana.. Just be happy maan.
