A Letter to My Future Self ✉️

BOND
Dear Future Me,

I hope you’re smiling right now. Not just any smile — the kind that comes from deep within, the kind that says, “I made it.” Because right now, in this moment, I’m still in the middle of the storm. The skies aren’t clear yet, but I can feel the winds shifting.

Life has been heavy lately. I’m 26, and every day feels like I’m balancing on a tightrope, trying not to fall. There are days I wake up excited, ready to chase the dreams I’ve set for myself. Then there are days when the weight of it all feels suffocating — the waiting, the uncertainty, the constant questioning of whether I’m on the right path.

But you… you’ve made it through. You’ve fought through the confusion, the heartbreak, the doubts. I wonder what you look like now. Have you settled into life in the UK? Is LA’BOND Dynasty more than just a vision? Are you in the studio, spitting bars and singing your heart out, finally living the dream? I hope Nyashinski knows the impact he had on you — the way his music lit a fire in your heart and pushed you to create your own sound.

And what about Gianna? Is she proud of her dad? I hope she sees you not just as her father but as a man who fought for his dreams so she could believe in hers. I hope she knows that every sacrifice, every late night, every moment of doubt was powered by love — love for her, and love for the future you’re building together.

I wonder if you’ve built that house for your family back home. Have you seen the look in their eyes as they walk through the doors of the home you dreamed of creating for them? Have you stood in the middle of the living room, taking in the silence, feeling the weight of years of hard work finally pay off?

And your future wife… Is she there beside you? I hope she understands your journey. I hope she’s proud of the man you became and that she sees the fire in you — the same fire that refused to burn out, even in the darkest times. I hope you’ve built a love that’s strong, one that grows with you as you chase your dreams.

Most of all, I wonder if you’re proud of me. The me that’s writing this letter. The me that’s still figuring things out, stumbling through the dark, but refusing to give up. Because even though the path isn’t clear yet, I’ve made a promise to myself — to you — that I’ll keep moving forward.

I’ll embrace the struggle. I’ll channel the pain into lyrics and let the music be my guide. I’ll keep pushing, even when the odds feel stacked against me. Because I know that every step I take brings me closer to you — the man who made it, who never gave up.

When you read this, I hope you remember where we started. From Thika to the world, every dream, every plan, every late-night conversation with yourself led to this moment. Look back and see how far you’ve come. Feel the pride, the joy, and the relief that all the sleepless nights and endless hustle were worth it.

And if things aren’t perfect yet — if there are still mountains to climb — remember who you are. You’re BOND. You’ve already proven you’re unbreakable.

Keep rising. Keep fighting. Keep dreaming.

With hope and belief,
Me.

💔 A Father's Pain: Losing a Child at 20 and Finding Strength Through Struggle.

Have You Ever Lost a Child? Well… that happened to me at 20 years old. But before I get to that, let me take you back. Back to where it all began — in 2016, fresh out of Form Four. I had dreams, big ones. I even got into college, but life had other plans. Financial struggles hit hard, forcing me to drop out. That’s when reality slapped me in the face. In 2017, I landed a low-paying job. How low? I earned 1,000 KSH a month — barely enough to survive. Still, I was determined to carve my own path, so I moved out of my parents’ house and rented a single room. My own space. My little corner of independence. But it didn’t last long. By 2018, I couldn’t keep up with rent and had to go back home, defeated. I stayed there for four months, plotting my next move. Then came the bedsitter — 5,000 KSH a month. It felt like an upgrade, like a fresh start. Life had a way of throwing curveballs, though. That same year, I met Marly. She was 19. I was 20. Young, reckless, and in love — or...

✨ Building the Future While Staying Present: My Journey of Dreams and Growth 🌱

BOND

There’s a certain magic in dreaming. Dreams pull us forward, giving us purpose and hope. But what happens when those dreams feel just out of reach? When the wait gets long, and the road ahead seems uncertain? I’ve learned that the secret lies not just in chasing the future but in embracing the present — one moment at a time. Growing up in Thika, Kenya, I always felt a pull toward something greater. I wasn’t sure what it was at first, but over time, the pieces of my vision started to come together. I dreamed of building a school back home, LA’BOND CREST ACADEMY, where kids could learn and grow in an environment filled with opportunity. I dreamed of creating a music label, LA’BOND DYNASTY, where artists like me could have a voice. And most importantly, I dreamed of providing a better life for my daughter, Gianna, and showing her that no dream is too big. But dreams take time. And in that time, life happens. When I applied for a caregiving job in the UK through AAHM Group, ...
