LA'BOND CHRONICLES

People see the pull. They feel the presence. They hear the way I speak, watch how I move, and they say: > “You’re different.” “You’re the one.” “I wish I had your energy.” But they don’t see what it costs. They don’t feel the silence after everyone goes quiet. They don’t sit with me at night when my mind is racing and my heart is full—but my phone doesn’t ring. They don’t know how heavy it is to be needed by everyone, yet understood by no one. --- 🥀 Being the Light Can Feel Like Being Alone When you carry peace, people come to you for comfort. But who do you go to? When you awaken others, they cling to your light. But who helps you rest? When you speak with power, people assume you always have the answers. But they never ask if you’re tired… or lost… or breaking silently. > That’s the curse of being chosen: You’re surrounded—but not always seen. You’re respected—but rarely known. You’re admired—but often alone. --- 👁‍🗨 I’ve Felt It More Than Once There have been da...

I used to think I was just like everyone else. Walking through life, figuring things out, trying to move forward. But then—something changed. It didn’t happen in a big crowd. It wasn’t a celebration. It was in a quiet moment—just me and someone who looked at me like they saw something I didn’t know I carried. She said: > “I don’t know why, but I feel calm around you… like I can breathe.” Then she paused… and said, “You haven’t even said much, but I already feel safe.” And in that moment—I felt something shift. --- 🔁 It Wasn’t the First Time… But It Was the First Time I Noticed Looking back now, I realize it had been happening for a while. People would: Open up too quickly, telling me things they never told anyone else. Pause when I entered, as if my presence changed the air. Stay—even after I disappeared for days. But this time was different. This time, I heard it. I felt the weight of it. And I remember thinking: > “Why do people feel this much around me… even befor...

Truth is,I never asked for attention. I never begged for eyes to turn when I enter a space. But slowly… I started to notice something. People feel me before they know me. They open up. They confess. They say things like: > “I don’t know why, but I feel safe with you.” “There’s something about you… I can’t explain it.” “I’ve been ignoring men for years, but you—I want to build a life with.” And every time I hear those words, a part of me wants to say: > “I don’t know how I do this either.” Because I honestly don’t. I’m not performing. I’m not pretending. I’m just… being. And still, women tell me they’d follow me abroad without ever meeting me. They tell me they want to give me children. They say they don’t want money from me—just to be near me. And when I disappear for days and return without apology? They don’t leave. They don’t complain. They miss me more. That used to scare me. I thought maybe I was a mistake in their story. Maybe I was causing confusion. But now I ...

Let’s be honest: most of us have looked at someone else’s life and said, “Damn, I wish that was me.” You see the mansion, the Benz, the six-figure lifestyle, the exotic vacations with captions like “Work hard, play harder.” And suddenly, your noodles taste like poverty. But here’s the spicy truth: admiration is free… but duplication? Oh boy, it costs blood, sweat, tears, and probably a few friendships. The Instagram Illusion We live in a world of highlights—perfect smiles, filtered lifestyles, and carefully selected quotes to make suffering look sexy. You scroll through someone’s page, see the suits, the champagne, and the matching couple outfits, and your soul whispers, “Goals.” But what you don’t see are the 2 a.m. anxiety attacks, the mountain of debt, the betrayal from close friends, and the breakdowns that happened just before that glowing selfie. Success is a beautiful monster—it looks good, but raising it will eat parts of you alive. The LA'BOND Reality Check Ta...

Time and Chance: How They Work Together in Life Life has a funny way of unfolding. We all have our plans, goals, and dreams, but often, it’s not just hard work or determination that gets us there. Time and chance—two forces that seem unpredictable—play a huge role in how things turn out for us. Ever had a moment where you thought, “If I had just done this a little earlier or later, things might have been different?” That’s time and chance at play. Let’s break it down. Time: The One Thing We Can’t Control Time is like that constant companion we can’t outrun. We can manage it, plan for it, and make the most of it, but we can’t stop it or rewind it. It's both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, time gives us the opportunity to grow, learn, and evolve. On the other hand, it feels like it always slips away faster than we want it to. Time works its magic in ways we don’t always understand. Maybe the right opportunity doesn’t come until you’ve spent years learning or pr...

Let’s be real — if time was literally money, some of us would be walking ATMs while others… well, we’d be bankrupt by 10 AM every day. They say “time is money” like it’s this universal truth. You’ve probably heard it a thousand times — shouted in corporate boardrooms, whispered in motivational YouTube videos, or printed on mugs from your favorite online hustle guru. But have you ever really stopped to ask: Is time truly money? Or are we all just running in circles with a stopwatch and an empty wallet? Well, let me tell you what made me question that phrase… --- My Story: From Stressed Seconds to Priceless Purpose Not too long ago, I was 26 — fresh out of yet another overthinking session at 2 AM, scrolling through motivational quotes and wondering if I was behind in life. I was stuck in a waiting phase — preparing to move to the UK for a caregiving opportunity through AAHM Group. Everything was done: interviews, certifications, dreams packed in my head. All that was left? Wa...

Does God Really Answer Prayers? – The Bitter Truth Nobody Wants to Hear By BOND | LA’BOND BLOG | Personal Growth & Real Talk You’ve probably heard it all before. “Just pray about it.” “God’s time is the best.” “Anointing breaks the yoke!” Sounds holy, right? But let’s be honest—how many times have you prayed yourself hoarse, visited every prophet in town, sowed seeds even when your M-PESA balance was gasping for air, and yet... nothing seems to move? This article isn’t here to mock faith. It’s here to wake you up. Because sometimes, we confuse laziness with spirituality —and that’s not what God had in mind. Let’s dive into the bitter truth. Don’t worry, I’ll serve it with a spoonful of humor—because if we’re going to have real talk, we might as well laugh a little. The Business of Prayers – Is God a Paybill Number? You’re at a big church on Sunday morning. The preacher is yelling, sweat flying like holy water, and you’re nodding with every “Amen!” Then he drops the b...

You've probably heard it before — “Be your own boss!” “CEO vibes only!” “If you’re not making money while you sleep, you’ll work until you die!” Relax. Breathe. Let’s talk. In today’s world, it feels like everyone and their cousin is trying to launch a business, become an influencer, or start a YouTube channel teaching others how to make a million by selling PDF guides. We’re living in the golden age of "fake it till you make it" entrepreneurship, and quite honestly, it’s exhausting. Know Thy Lane You’ve seen it — someone born to shine in a creative role forcing themselves into finance. Or that guy who should’ve been a teacher, but now he’s selling drop-shipped beard oils on Instagram. It’s like watching someone wear shoes two sizes too small, then blaming the road for their pain. Truth bomb: not everyone is meant to be a CEO. And guess what? That’s okay. The world needs visionaries and implementers. Sailors and captains. Bakers and bakery owners. If you were ...

“A man will meet you where you meet yourself.” Let’s talk. And no, this isn’t one of those soft, sugar-coated, “you’re perfect just the way you are” kind of talks. Nah. Today, we’re throwing the gloves off. No filters. No pretense. Just some raw, honest truth with a dash of sarcasm and a pinch of humour. Because if no one else will say it, allow me to be the brave (or foolish) soul who will. Ladies, brace yourselves. Because the hard truth is… A man will meet you where you meet yourself. Yes, I said it. You don’t have to like it, but deep down—right below the surface of the last motivational quote you reposted on Instagram—you know it’s true. Stop Waiting at the Bus Stop for a Bentley Let’s paint a picture, shall we? You wake up, throw on your thrifted two-piece outfit (which, to be fair, you slay in), beat your face with some budget-friendly foundation, and hop into your trusted daily ride—the matatu. Horns blaring, conductor yelling, your fellow passenger eating ...

By Bond “By 25, I’ll be successful. My dreams will be in motion. I’ll have a stable job, travel the world, maybe even own property.” That was the plan. My plan. And maybe yours too. But here’s the thing no one really prepares you for: the 20s hit different. They come with ambition and fire, sure—but also confusion, pressure, comparison, and the kind of mental rollercoaster that no one posts about on Instagram. As I write this blog, I’m 26. My name is Bond—founder of LA'BOND, dreamer, hustler, father, artist, caregiver, and a man still figuring things out one lesson at a time. This post is for everyone who's ever felt like they're falling behind. For everyone who thought they’d be further in life by now. For everyone in their 20s walking through the fog, still searching for their breakthrough. Let’s talk about it. --- The Dream vs. The Reality Growing up, we’re fed this linear story: work hard, graduate, get a job, build a life. Simple, right? But the reality for...

“Patience is not about waiting; it’s about how you behave while waiting.” That quote has stuck with me for years. It perfectly sums up the path I’ve chosen and the questions I face every day — questions that sound like curiosity but often come laced with judgment: “Why aren’t you rich yet?” “Why don’t you have a car by now?” “Why aren’t you chasing the bag like everyone else?” “Why do you seem so calm when you don’t have money?” These aren’t just questions. They’re reminders of how misunderstood patience, vision, and purpose can be in a world that idolizes speed and glorifies instant gratification. So today, I want to answer these questions once and for all — not just for others, but as a declaration for myself and anyone else walking the same road. --- I’m Only 26 — And I’ve Already Lived a Thousand Lives Let’s get one thing clear: I started working at 19. Like most young people trying to figure life out, I took on anything that could pay the bills. From odd jobs to part-t...

At 19,yeah! you heard me right 19, I thought I had it all figured out. Love, marriage, a future that seemed bright. But by 24, I was signing off on the last chapter of a book that had more heartache than happiness. My marriage ended, leaving behind a trail of broken dreams, a beautiful daughter, and lessons that life slapped me with the hard way. Looking back, I can pinpoint the cracks that led to the downfall of what should have been a lifetime partnership. And if there's one thing I've learned, it’s that love alone is never enough. We Were Just Too Young Love at 19 is reckless, passionate, and filled with fantasies of ‘forever.’ We were two kids who thought marriage was the ultimate destination, not realizing that it was just the beginning of a journey we weren’t prepared for. We were naive, thinking love would solve everything—money problems, emotional struggles, and our differences. But reality hit fast. When you get married young, you don’t just grow together; ...

The hustle never stops. It’s 3 a.m., and I’m wide awake. My thoughts race like a marathon runner pushing against the clock. The world is quiet, but my mind roars with the echoes of ambition—visions of success, a legacy etched in stone, and a brand that stands the test of time. That brand is LA’BOND—WE CONNECT. The name itself isn’t just a label; it’s a declaration, a purpose, and a movement. We all have one thing in common—that’s why we connect. We’re all in business in this life. Whether you’re clocking in at a nine-to-five, building an empire, or dreaming of a better tomorrow, the truth is simple: we’re all hustlers. Life itself is a business deal—negotiations, sacrifices, investments, and sometimes, losses. But those who dare to play are the ones who dare to win. I’ve always seen myself as more than a name. BOND. The very definition of connection, strength, and resilience. It’s not just about me, but about the people who believe in the grind, who wake up every day ready ...
