When you really can't celebrate yourself anymore

-: One day.. When you really can't celebrate yourself anymore , somebody will be reading a book, celebrating what you have achieved. Big up  Lung'afa: Let me not go emotional. I was only looking for learners!!!! 
-: 😊😊 Just recognizing your good work, just take the compliment.  -: Lenga hizo. Hata hatujamake the second library...all saniaga zones. Cheza chini. Heh
-: 😂😂 But my compliment still stands.
-: Umeinsist. Alright. You good at home?
-: Yes, niko salama. You honestly don't wanna tell me sometimes you dint just sit, take it all in... And just feel proud of yourself. For the milestones you've made

If I got happy, what of a child who lifted a heavy jerrican upstream? Nothing much. Maybe momentary thanking like now. But I have to rise tomorrow and put my ass on the pedal. Cycle to Wangulu - am around this month. 😂
-: Wow...you're different, amazing soul . And it's a beautiful course. Hii sio ya wengi
