Behind the smile

-
Today, is one of those days that I can not decribe.

Never thought I'll make it this far but here I am. The smile that makes people assume that I am the happiest person alive, indeed I am happy to be alive it is just the uneasiness it comes with it will make you think twice. 
Today got me thinking back how a Pastor in my early childhood once told me that: "I have a beautiful smile". 

Back than I could not grasp what he was implying but kept those words close to my heart. Today, a day after my birthday got me to realise how much pain that smile is carrying, pain no humankind can fix. It cuts so deep that, I'll rather exchange my days on earth with the peace maker Mr. Nelson Mandela.

This smile keeper, is not a smile keeper after all.

We as the upcoming generation need to embrace and enjoy our kasi life no matter the circumstances and challenges we face.         Disadvantages of kasi life:   No privacy- there is a good change your nearest neighbor might come and visit. You do not have a big yard- for kids to play most play in the streets. Exposed to the wildlife of the era- criminal activities . Self -sufficient- create small business for extra income.      Long travel distance- walk, taxi's or buses. Far from health care services and libraries.  No internet access- when doing assignment or search for informat...
