The Wait, the Weight, and the Will to Keep Going

I’ve always heard that patience is a virtue. But no one tells you how heavy patience can feel when you’re living in the middle of it.

For months now, I’ve been waiting for a dream to come true — a chance to start fresh in the UK as a caregiver. I did everything right. Passed the interviews. Validated my certificates. Sent every document needed. Then came the wait. I watched as the first batch left, hoping I’d be next. But days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Let me tell you — nothing tests your spirit like waiting for a door you’ve already knocked on to finally open.

Some nights, I lie awake staring at the ceiling, questioning everything. Did I do enough? Did I miss something? Am I even meant to be on this path? The silence has a way of making doubts louder. But somewhere between those thoughts, there’s a fire that refuses to go out. It whispers, “Keep going. Your time is coming.”

I wasn’t born into a life of shortcuts. Where I come from, you learn early that if you want something, you fight for it. I remember growing up in Thika, dreaming of more — more than what I could see around me. I wanted to build something, to create a life that mattered. Not just for me, but for my family. For Gianna. She’s my reason. My anchor. Every sacrifice, every late night, every moment of doubt — it all comes back to her.

But here’s the thing: life doesn’t pause while you wait. In the stillness, I discovered parts of myself I’d never paid attention to before. Music started calling me louder. I realized I don’t just want to work; I want to create. I want to tell stories, write songs, and build a legacy. I want to prove that you can be more than what the world expects of you. That’s when LA’BOND was born — not just a name, but a movement. A dream of connecting people through stories, music, and purpose.

And you know what else I learned? The weight you feel while waiting isn’t a burden. It’s a forge. Every second you spend in the fire is shaping you, making you stronger. Patience isn’t just about holding on — it’s about preparing. Sharpening your skills, feeding your mind, and growing into the person who can handle what’s coming next.

I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’ve realized that the wait is part of the process. It’s in these quiet moments that warriors are built. Because when the moment comes — and it will come — I’ll be ready. Not just to work, but to rise. To sing. To build. To inspire.

If you’re in that waiting season too, I want you to remember this: The wait isn’t punishment; it’s preparation. The silence isn’t empty; it’s where your next chapter is being written. And when your time comes, don’t just step through the door — kick it open and show the world what you’re made of.

So, what about you? What’s the dream that keeps you awake at night? What’s the weight you’re carrying, and what will you do when the door finally opens? Drop a comment and let’s talk about it. Maybe our stories aren’t that different after all.
