For me, reading his posts on philosophy and chatting with him occasionally on Facebook was never intimate enough, so I decided to meet him in person. 
kwangu mimi, kwa kusoma makala zake zilizohusiana na falsafa pamoja na kupiga soga naye mara kwa mara kupitia Facebook, kamwe hakukuniridhisha, hadi pale nilipoamua kuonana naye ana kwa ana.
