I will belong to him, if he’ll have me. I won’t do everything he asks, because I’m not going to be one of those mindless women who gives up her autonomy because she thinks her man’s love depends on her obedience. I’m secure enough in myself that I believe this is what I want, this is what I’m willing to do, and if not for the guy from Japan then I’ll do it for the next person who catches my interest just right.

Needless to say, getting used to being the “dutiful” wife has been an adjustment. And maybe I am having a harder time with it because I still have yet to move into the world of an army base where this is just every day life. I am sure that I will be so grateful and relieved when I actually do move for this support network to be in place. And what I am saying may sound like I am unhappy with this group, which is not the case. I do appreciate being kept in the loop since Tom’s world is about to be turned upside down. And these women know the best way to be of support not only to our partners but also to each other. I am just not used to my husband defining who I am, and this is a huge adjustment for me to make. I mean my life’s work is all about respecting everyone’s individuality and being your own person. So when I hear these messages from the Army like “Oh your wife could move here with you to work at the pool” you can see how there could be some frustration and some “You don’t know me!” attitude going through my head.

As a woman, I feel like I’m trapped inside my own body—like I’m holding a bomb that’s ticking down to detonation. After 35, I’m told, fertility drops sharply. But today’s test result was even worse: I’m part of the 1% of women under 35 with ovarian reserves typical of someone ten years older. “Dry ovaries,” sort to say.

Predominantly feminine hobbies became a taboo and no one took interest in what women actually wanted anymore. No one even cared enough to ask. The norms changed: if you are true to yourself and pine behind a girl without actually getting to know her, your persistence will be rewarded. That is exactly what these rom-coms taught a generation of men.

I am talking about a particular vulnerable group of women in their early to mid 20s who not only use Instagram to attract their male sponsors, but curate a lifestyle brand over it to legitimize themselves and potentially earn money through corporate brands. The sponsors can range from local young wealthier men, older married men, to diaspora men who sponsor their online lifestyle a normal 20 year old from a low-income family with a minimum wage job, small earning business, or no job, in Mombasa could never afford in exchange for dates, or more. However, their following is not only their sponsors, but young girls who admire them and potentially businesses who believe they built their brand from scratch. What is troubling is that it creates a false reality for young girls, as if they do not necessarily need education to make it, and that it is easy to be an influencer and make money when it is not, it is a full time job. It potentially glamorizes and normalizes sugaring as something safe, admirable, easy, and doable when it is not. It continues the unequal power men have in this society over women and continues the vicious cycle of generational trauma.

I am at a point now, where I’m very much open to relationships and this interview helped me to check in with myself as to the reason why & to make sure it wasn’t because of societal reasons / pressure. I had already purchased & read (2 thirds of) the book ‘How To Not Die Alone” which I found extremely helpful but this interview was equally as helpful. I know that this time, I’m not mulling over the idea of being in a relationship because I feel like it’s something I ‘should’ do. This time, it’s something I want to do. As a result, I’m now looking for the correct / best environment for me to do that.

I’m surrounded by women undertaking the same journey, many of which have their mothers. I’ve attempted to keep my breathing even at gender reveals as I listen to other women discuss their joy that they can have their mother and partner in the delivery room. I’ve smiled and congratulated them as their mother’s toasted their new grandchild. I’ve sobbed on the car ride home feeling jealous and broken. I should be grateful for all that I have. I’m so lucky and yet it doesn’t fill that hole she left. Every new piece of information we share with family never elicits her reaction and I yearn for it more than the twenty others I received.

Sometimes a simple thing like…”I want you to come in a dress”…but what if I feel like wearing a skirt or moreover shorts. Bossy over a simple thing…I may have to signal MAYDAY.

I have chosen to study health. My community has a large population and an unending problem of early marriage, which means children are born every day. But there is only one hospital, with 6 wards and few attendants. It’s more like a pharmacy or clinic because only minor injuries can be treated. For most problems, they just prescribe panadol, drips and injections, without finding out what the patient’s problem is.
