Cabu Gah Diaries: My Near-Death Experience #Kukachora

I understand that everyone needs to live a happy life.

Everyone needs to make their inner soul happy and the misconception is it doesn’t matter the shape or form by which you chose to make yourself happy. I understand that a young mind needs to have fun when the body can still handle it. Like the legendary Frank Sinatra said, ‘You gotta love living baby because dying’s a pain in the ass.’
One important question comes to mind though. Should the amount of fun you have outweigh your serious endeavors in life?
I love to party myself. I love drinking. Ever since my lips left my mum’s breast , I yearned  to get something new for my lips to cover – something different. I found two solutions. First there was the beer bottle. I love beer more than a medieval king loves concubines. Shaffie, the chairman of walevis, would have inducted me into the walevis hall of fame.  Second solution was women. My lips cover various parts of women’s bodies, don’t even ask which.

Add all this to the fact that I am popular and things get even worse. I’ve made monumental mistakes. Who cared about the future when I was doing these things? Not me definitely.

So I had fun, I partied like every day, I gave all the socialites a piece of my cake and drank myself silly. And not dustbin deals like wakina Huddah. I was slaying prime, untouched college ladies on a weekly basis! Change came when I got really sick one day. It happened after I had slept with a random girl without using a condom. I was to learn later on through  the girl’s BFF that she had herpes and possibly the HIV virus?

Had she infected me? Was I showing early symptoms? I rushed to the hospital fearing the worst. No there was no herpes. There was no HIV. However, after giving my doctor a run down of my lifestyle, he told me that if I didn’t change, I’d be in trouble pretty soon.
That was a game changer for me. I cut down on drinking all the high concentration stuff. I stopped smoking too and vowed to never have raw sex again.  I’ve kept all the promises to myself so far.

I am popular right now but fame is like a lotus flower. It withers and dies at some point. Right now I am more focused on planning my future and getting business deals than partying with groupies. Changing your life can seem an incredibly tough and complicated thing, especially if you’ve messed up a great number of times (like I did). Many people have found it too hard, and resigned themselves to not changing.

Many people procrastinate on the intent to change. Lots of people won’t actually change until something bad happens. I am lucky that something bad didn’t happen to me. It just almost happened. That’s a relief – reprieve. What about you?
Will you live your youthful your life bothering about what woman to sleep with next or will you live planning how to buy  mega mansion when you are 30.

You see, nature wants the majority to fail. You need to be smart. Ukiendelea tu kvuta bangi kama chimney hiyo ni shida yako. Usiseme sikukwambia. Align yourself with the right people and be different. Be responsible. That’s what I’m calling kukachora. Take care of your health and don’t hurt others with your decisions.
