Yearn for a stranger
Have you ever thought of your love that you've never met?
dear soulmate,
the day melts into the next day,
and that one into the next,
until they all become one big blur.
my heart yearns to finally meet you,
my eyes are impatient, to finally see you,
my fingertips, to trace the contours of your face.
I somehow inexplicably already love you,
I'm already sorry for all the mistakes I'm going to make.
I'm already trying to be a better person even though you'll say that you don't need me to change.
I am yet to do silly things and you are yet to say funny things, but I already revel in the sound of your laughter.
It's the most beautiful sound.
Anyway, I have dishes to wash, a house to clean and a Strathmore University entry exam to freak out about, so I should probably stop weaving this fantasy and get back to real life.

Late night cravings
Mystical allure of the moon's gentle glow, In the depths of darkness, desires grow. Delicious whispers of cravings untold, Nighttime melodies, enticing and bold. Igniting passions that refuse to sleep, Gathering shadows, secrets to keep. Hunger for flavors, both sweet and savory, Tantalizing senses in a nocturnal reverie.

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.
