Kenyans content creator Mike Muchiri has issued a statement after clearing all his social media posts a few days ago an act that raised eyebrows among his followers.

Muchiri’s statement comes at a time he was been on the receiving end over the nature of photos he posted online.

According to the content creator, he is on a self-discovery journey and therefore he will be taking some time away from social media.

Here is Mike Muchiri’s post

There are only two people whose pride truly matters to me-the child I once was and the elder I will become. One, so hopeful, wondering if I will ever chase the dreams that made his heart race. The other, weathered and wise, hoping I made choices that gave him peace.

For so long, I searched for the truth about life-only to realize that the truth was always inside me, waiting to be seen. The child I once was is still here. Still watching. Still <waiting to see if I will be brave enough to chase the dreams I once believed in. That was the only truth I ever needed to face.

Facing myself in my rawest form was not gentle. I had to sit with the parts of me I once buried. The fears. The wounds. The patterns I repeated without question. The dreams I abandoned out of doubt. I did not meet them to fix them-I met them to understand them. And in that understanding, I found a quiet kind of love. I looked at my fears, my wounds, my patterns, my beliefs-the ones buried beneath the surface-and I said, I see you.

I no longer wish to rush through life chasing illusions of worth. I choose to slow down. To hold the fleeting moments with both hands. To love with the entirety of my being. To laugh from the depths of my soul. To exist -not just as someone surviving, but as someone fully alive.

I will keep meeting my shadows with compassion. I will <stop living from old wounds and start creating from wholeness. All of me-the hesitant, the bold, the broken, the healing, the unstoppable-is worthy of being seen. And if you are reading this, I hope you see yourself too.

Because in the end, it was never about perfection. It was about truth. About making the little one proud and the elder one at peace.
