I really miss those days when

Change is inevitable, as long as time passes, there will always be a change.  But honestly speaking, #ireallymissthosedayswhen  life was simple. I miss my childhood days. Others would share in my sentiments. Find below some of the things I really miss.

I really miss those days whentruth was in fashion. These were the days when telling a lie was the biggest sin on earth. Nowadays people lie all the time and when you tell the truth, you are the odd one out. What happened to our values? Newsflash: even a white lie is a lie. A lie is a lie. And you will notice that when you tell a lie, you have tell another to cover the previous one, and you end up telling a series of lies. The big deal is that ‘When you tell a lie more than three times, you believe it yourself.’ So this Chinese proverb is just alerting you that the person you lie to the most is yourself. Truth is good, it sets you free.

I really miss those days when I was safe wherever I was. You know those days when you’d go outside or stay inside without fear. Now insecurity is so rampant and so unpredictable. If it’s not terrorism, it’s mugging, reckless motorists, unsafe electrical appliances, even politics. You must have heard of political wars. There’s nothing bad like being caught in the cross fire, especially when you don’t even know what is going on.

I really miss those days when I was a young girl going to primary school. I knew I would get the ‘maziwa ya nyayo’ milk given by the former retired Kenya president Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi. This was a really good scheme. Parents would be rest assured that their children were getting milk at least twice a week. My class teacher would keep a few extra packets of milk for the best behaved pupil in class. Trust me, I always had more than two packets of milk every time we got milk.  

I miss the days when I would go to the ‘kiosk’ (local shop) with twenty shillings and buy a loaf of bread, a packet of milk, fudge (and fudge was three times the size it is today plus it was sweeter), and ‘gudigudi’ (a caramel bar or was it?). I wonder if I can get that anywhere today. Then after this shopping, I would go back home with some change. What can you do with twenty bob today?

Treetop. This was the best fruit juice, wait, this was the only fruit juice and it was very delicious. Original juice. Then came what we have in the market today; ‘fruit juice’. If you want to be sure that the juice you are taking is real, make the juice yourself. That is the only way you can be guaranteed that you are taking real fruit juice.

 

What happened to the days when kids playing meant going outside and engaging in real physical activities. Creativity was the order if the day. Now the best games are done online. In fact we have professional gamers; People who play games for a living. And they get addicted too. Thank goodness there are videogame addiction rehabs. TV stations, no, the only TV station; VOK would open at 4:00p.m.

The list is endless, anyway, let me embrace the future and surge on
