What People Feel Before I Speak:The Day I Realized I Was Different.

BOND
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 before I speak?”

🧭 That Was the Beginning of Awareness

I didn’t have the answers.
Still don’t have all of them.
But I know this:

There’s a reason people are drawn to me.
There’s a reason women feel safe before I touch, heard before I speak, and wanted without asking.

It’s not charm.
It’s not looks.
It’s not words.

It’s presence.
And presence doesn’t ask for attention—it commands it.

🌌 I’m Learning to Carry It With Honor

I know now that being different isn’t about being better.
It’s about being real, being aware, and being responsible with the energy I carry.

Because people don’t just respond to me casually.
They feel me deeply.
And when they do, they either:

Want to be near me forever…

Or they back away quietly, overwhelmed by how real it feels.


And that’s okay.

💭 To the One Reading This…

If you’ve ever felt different, but never had the words for it—maybe this is your sign.

Sometimes your light confuses people who have lived in the dark too long.
Sometimes your presence speaks louder than your voice ever could.
And sometimes… you are already healing people just by showing up.

That’s the truth I’m walking in now.
And every day, I learn how to honor it more.

💔 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, ...
