June Gachui - In The Meantime Theory

"Make sure you are not left by the bus!" This is what a young lady was told by her aunt. This is an 'African' reference to getting married as a natural progression from school/university. So what happens when you are still at the bus stop and all your friends and relatives are getting married?
June Gachui humorously shares her bus stop experience. Can you relate to her story :)?

I am with my Meanwhile, after one year of separation. This 'bus' of mine must have heard my dad complain. At 35 years and still no 'bus' is coming for me. Last month I was informed that when am ready to build I can do so in one of his plot. Anyhow, to each, her/his own. Amen.

And that's why we can't afford to wait for someone else to make us happy or to enable us to start living our lives. The reality is that for some, the bus may never come or the children may be adopted rather than biological. Whatever the case, one must give oneself permission to live each day well.

They sing..."Can you stand the rain".........but never say how long the rain will be or how frequent it will visit our live's. They also sing....."It's a new day"..........but forget to add the line at the end of the chorus, that tell's us how hard it is to, not only get up but stay up enough for our hearts and life to finally forget the last, and or all our rain's. I have no answer but sincerity of heart.............There are good things that pull us up..........and things that are sold to us as good things that will keep us up (Marriage and companionship are by far more the latter than the former) ............And yet, the latter has the power and ability to keeps us down and drop us to depths that completely rob us off, tear and rip us away from our life's determined, convicted and heart led hard work........... and other gainful to self for self hearts desires. It clearly seem's that marriage and companionship stands out as being far too expensive to the heart's we need to live the other 75% of our live's.......... I will still put on my raincoat as June does........but, today, I'm not as convicted about needing some one...........Then there's the evidence of divorces and the foolishness many are living in to sweep my heart away from my long held understanding of loneliness (It's thoroughly painless in comparison............cold Yes but PAINLESS.....:) ) My Bus is at the bus stop...................But I can see that I'm better off not boarding it (It's not express.......The board reads very many others stop's before my destination.......and I know I only have strength, heart and life enough to deal with the rain in only one stop (My Destination)....................I might as well live from the sincerity of my heart and strength in building a heart and a home on the other side of the bus stop .........(Many that left have and are coming back with...........They are certainly, and without a doubt, all the company I need to live in this my cup) :) June Gachui...................Thank You You might feel like raindow's that came by frequent rain's............but remember that it's the sun that creates raindow's, not the rain (Your talk is everything you..........."Sunshine"...............It's a heart - has never been a mind as religion keeps selling it............which makes it permanently you.........You will always be warm - to yourself and by default, to the world. I wish your bus to come.........but until it does, enjoy all the meanwhile that come's your way................ :) I got done whispering & singing Quando Quando.........I've been smoking, eating & dancing to the happy in me ;) .....And living my life enough to, even, maybe, give life to those whose hearts were killed by their "bus'es" destinations......:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/paqoZX-Mdpp9j5I

June, you are awesome. You bus is classic dear lady. Now l have something to watch. I don't watch soaps

[@ralphwarom2514]

This talk is pretty nice emotionally. But ehhh. There are some practical problems that I think are overlooked. Number one being defining terms. Munange, ladies, it is no harm to just ask a guy what his intentions are. If he wants a night, if he wants a weekend or if he wants a lifetime. You would be surprised how simply asking will help clear the path. Let alone not asking for 2 years. 2 Weeks munange. No more than two weeks of something that looks like dating before clarification of intention. Cheers.

Wow love it and sometimes you have to not wait for the bus but chase after it and hop on like I did after several breakdowns, re-routes, detours, boda bodas mopeds and pick ups. I decided to choose my own designer bus and specs then stand at the bus stop and wait for it. That way it thought It was picking me instead of me picking it! Love you June actually you deserve your own relationship show on TV. I bet some smart bus will locate you here and recruit you as its conductor with all your awesomeness!
