LUSTFUL

Yesterday I was thinking about this whole sexiness craze that seems to have our entire generation by the neck. Yes, even the men. These days men will wear make up to look a certain way… I mean, really?
Maybe it would help to first define the word sexy

sex·y

ˈseksē
adjective
1.       sexually attractive or exciting.
"sexy French underwear"
synonyms:
sexually attractive, seductive, desirable, alluring, sensual, sultry, slinky, provocative,
tempting, tantalizing; More
·        
sexually aroused.
"neither of them was feeling sexy"
synonyms:
(sexually) aroused, sexually excited, amorous, lustful, passionate; More
·       
I got that definition off google. Do you notice how lustful is listed as a synonym for sexy?

It is agreed that we are sexual beings and that sexual feelings are entirely normal. We have been created sexual beings. You don’t believe me: ask the pregnant mad woman in your village.

How did she end up that way? Did she dress ridiculously and hawk her goodies on the road; I highly doubt that!

If we have been made sexual beings, do we need to go the extra step and accentuate those features for whoever cares to see? And when snide remarks are aimed at us, do we still reserve the right to get offended?

The other day I was in the taxi park, heading home and this girl wearing a dress top as a dress was in front of me. To my amusement, the touts started to grab her from different directions and touch her exposed body.

Maybe that was over the top; I don’t know! All I know is I never want to know the feeling of a random man’s hands on my skin. I would fail to recover from that king of molestation.

Some girls may have no problem being touched by multiple strangers maybe that was the point in dressing that way but again, I’m just speculating.


Respect your bodies my dear sisters because it’s a big possession- a temple(read place of worship)if you please.

Arrivalism- the concept

Not too many things in life crack me up as much as the arrivalist. The embodiment of the concept is immaturely grown up that it puzzles me; the paradox that is arrivalism. Maybe before we go too far, let’s try and define this thing. My use of the word arrivalism in this article describes the mentality or false feeling of accomplishment or reaching the top of the road in a particular field. A case in point would be the upcoming musician whose music starts to enjoy massive airplay across media platforms or the socialite who starts getting noticed by and featured in tabloids. That sudden sense of accomplishment (adrenaline rush kind of thing), that gets to the head of the individual feeling it- that right there is arrivalism. When what should be a possible pit stop in life’s journey becomes the final destination because of pride( or as we’d say in Uganda ‘posing’). It really is just extreme pride in an achievement that is probably not that big a deal and more often t...

TEENAGE PREGNANCY IN UGANDA

She got married at 15, had her first child at 16, then the other two at 18 and 19years of age respectively. So is the story of Nankya. Her marriage was arranged so that immediately she finished her primary school education she was married off. "When I was about to seat for PLE, a certain man came to my parents home in the village and I was asked to serve the visitor. Being my mother’s daughter I had been taught what to do and how to do it and mainly because I was the first girl I used to do a lot of housework. So, over the years I had perfected various skills. After the meal, my parents left me to talk to the man who then told me that he was going to marry me and make me his wife and the mother of his children. I was really happy because among my peers, I was the first to get married and that brought pride to my family." Nankya’s happiness however was short-lived as she became a slave to this man’s wants and desires and if she even as much as grumbled about ...

I thought I was God

'Everyone is entitled to their opinions and if you don't agree with what I say, take a walk!' Quite rude huh?! But how many times have you been on the receiving end let alone the saying end of this statement? I have never said that you respond. Fair enough; how many times have you subconsciously rubbished people's opinions because they are different from yours? How many times have you mentally rolled your eyes at what someone said because it was different from your school of thought? It's a Selah moment, right? I came to my computer to write about one thing but ended up picking inspiration to write about another. One of my friends, Samuel Kamugisha shared an article he wrote 'The Power Of Why'  and it got me thinking. His article tackles some of my latest reflections. Also, needless to say, the first thing I did was correct a grammatical mistake which he welcomed with open hands. Imagine if he had rubbished my contribution? A lot of my friends remar...
