The White House

Hi, am Karey and this is my story. I have always been a good girl all my very short life, yes I had some moments of mischief but nothing big like sneaking out, drinking, or use of drugs. Doing the wrong thing scared me to my bones and considering where I was brought up I had seen so many girls my age become young mothers, end up with sexually transmitted diseases or result to wrong ways of earning a living just to sustain themselves! So I chose to be different I read any book I found some were not even for children but I read them nevertheless, I worked on how I spoke, walked, and conducted myself and became logical and strict conditioned myself to be the best version of myself and I was able to. 

Until I was bullied for being different and that was the hardest journey of my life but that is a story to be told some other time, I regretted being different and became what people wanted me to be I was so many versions for different people until one day I realized I didn't love myself and went on a journey of self-realization, a tough one and I started falling in love with myself all over again and I love the woman I have become but I weep for the girls who are not confident enough to take the step I did to be brave enough to leave from a cycle of despair, one day ill be able to help more but today I sharpen myself to be who I was called to be and when the time is right Gods appointed time then ill be a vessel that will ferry them to a life of hope and dreams.

A life where they (boys and girls) do not fear dreaming of who they want to be or the destination of their journey, a place where they are loved and cherished not expected to be perfect but be children playful, mischievous and optimists. A land that will see them become the best versions of themselves and impact so many in their lifetime because they are the future of the world, leaders and achievers.

It saddens me that am not able to provide that now but ill not let go of this dream because I chose not to quit until they get better than I do and never lose themselves because they want to please.

The white house will be their home not the the place the President Of the United State lives but a White house in my beautiful country Kenya and no not an orphanage a family home because they will be my children and I their mother no one will walk on and select which child they like best leaving the rest feeling unwanted because with me they are all mine. I will be a mother of nations just like Sarah and they will have a safe place to flourish and grow as they should not worrying about the next meal or cold nights, safety and a place to sleep because providence would be a regular visitor in the house.

What then is the meaning of love if not attending to those who have no one to care for them,? What is the need for gaining power and riches if they only serve my interests and blind my eyes from the true meaning of life? The true meaning of life is putting a smile on a troubled face and giving them a reason to look forward to the next day.

This is a dream of a young woman who is not afraid to make changes and be the change society needs I hope to awaken all the sleeping giants from their sleep because with their help I can fight the battles ahead and bring down the cells the captives are in.
