Cleaning the house with mum during December holidays. She opens an old shoebox under my bed and pulls out a ziplock of ancient mbush. Holds it up: "Mwanangu, hii ni chai gani? Inanuka poa!" I froze li...

Went on a date and she didn't lean away when I hugged her. No smoke smell! Clothes are finally innocent.

I’m trying to replace the habit with something healthier (even if it’s imperfect). I relapsed recently and I’m trying not to disappear in shame. I ate snacks like I was refueling for a marathon 😂 Than...

I used to say ‘just one’ and somehow it became a full committee meeting. I almost slipped, but I paused and remembered why I started. I went for a walk and realized my legs have been unemployed for ye...

I keep patting my pockets like my stash is a car key. I relapsed recently and I’m trying not to disappear in shame. I stared at my trigger like it owed me money, then walked away. One day at a time. T...

I used to count pills like a routine; now I’m counting days. I’m noticing emotions I used to numb, and it’s uncomfortable but real. I went for a walk and realized my legs have been unemployed for year...

Brain making up for lost nights.
