STEP BACK TO LOOK FORWARD

·        QUICK THOUGHT:STEP BACK TO LOOK FORWARD
-So u’ve made mistakes,big deal who hasn’t?!
-What’s done is done,time to move on
-It’s a lot to  take when the past comes flashing back,but it’s never to late to flashforward.


·         LYRICAL TOUCH:AFTERMATH(ADAM LAMBERT)
“Have you lost your way,living in the shadows of the messes that you made
And so it goes everything in your circle starts to overflow
Take a step before you leap into the colours that you seek
You’ll get back what you give away
So don’t look back on yesterday
Wanna scream out,no more hiding
Don’t be afraid of what’s inside
Gonna tell you you,ll be alright in the Aftermath”

“It’s not too late
Think of what can be if you rewrite the role you play”



Every time I hear this song,it gives me an ummph…the kind that makes you want to believe in the impossible,the kind that sort of tells you that the worst of your mistakes only need a little bit of fixing , that things will be all bright again and that the sun will shine again, IN THE AFTERMATH!!Maybe Adam meant something else singing this song,but that’s how I get it,and it speaks straight to my soul.
“Don’t be afraid of what’s inside”  we all go through things and at times we may not be so proud of what we see in ourselves or how messed up our lives can get but won’t kill us to take a step back to see  what really caused us to make those mistakes.Truth of the matter is,the deed is done but avoiding past experiences can be the easiest thing to do simply by:KNOW WHAT YOU DID,ACCEPT WHAT YOU DID AND NEVER REPEAT WHAT YOU DID!!

But hey…am not saying it’s the simplest thing to do,by far it’s the most dreadful and I’ll tell it to you upfront.Am speaking from experience here,fear Is the worst enemy to anything that’s why for all of us we fear  not looking back and not taking a chance on creeping through the shadows of our mistakes.But today I got a remedy for that,works like magic and definitely WORKS!!!

If living in the past scares you,if remembering your past haunts you,if you can’t get over the past ……..time to stop!!!
Ever heard that saying,when you want something with all your hear you gotta go out there and get it?? Well……that’s it!!!Step back from the shadows and take a leap to a clearer world,the world that you want to live and the world that makes you happy.Just take a hold of your life and the One who gave it to you knew what He wanted it to be for you,”so don’t look back on yesterday” and “ rewrite the role you play”

So the aftermath for you will be one you’ve made and one that lets you know that there’s nothing that can keep you from rising once you’ve fallen.We all need some time down ‘there’ to realize how ‘up there’ really feels like.

19 years later..

The past three weeks of my life have been a dream come true...not because i have stumbled into a load of cash or become a celebrity overnight. I have done nothing that seems out of the ordinary, but this event has and will forever  change my life.I have  no idea how to put it all in writing cause sometimes it still feels unreal. That dream came when i arrived in the land of a thousand hills,my home country Rwanda! I packed my bags so fast(still in shock).I got  on a bus(still in shock)n i saw my home country..still in shock!! It happened so fast and time has gone so fast..after 19 years of being away from a country i can hardly call home,i finally got to see where i was from,its like knowing a part of yourself that you didn't get a chance to live out. I won't deny that i  missed home,sometimes it felt( and still does) like i was a foreigner in my own home,everyone speaks the same language that am  able to speak but when i try to speak,it sounds so foreign!I...

Taking back memories .... 19 YEARS LATER PART 4

   For the past two and a half   months,   I have gone through some normal moments and some extraordinary ones too.Writing about my experience back home in Rwanda has been the hardest to capture, from the point of view of some people it may seem like a normal visit ( sometimes that’s what I think too) but other times which seem like precious moments hidden somewhere in my mind, the experience has been exteraordinary!! Finding the right words won’t cut it, yet not finding the right words wouldn’t do justice to some of those precious moments.    Going back to Gitarama was probably the climax of my visit, I went back home and by home I mean where I was raised for 2 years…where my parents were born,where it all began!! Driving through that countryside was like walking through a time machine ,the only difference was that I had no idea of what moment in time I had gone back to.   It has taken me a week  to write this down a...

Don't break my heart...

From the moment i loved you, I was afraid to say these words, But deep down i could feel it,and i knew it... Don't break my heart.. Don't tear me apart... With you am happy, That's how i know am lucky.. Without you,i am without me Don't break my heart... Don't tear me apart... Even though i know you will... This is no love poem,or else i'd have poured my whole heart out in my longest post ever!!!But i know how it looks and sounds,it's simply my love poem to this beauty called life...I heard a song this morning by Gym Class Heroes "Get Your A** Back Home" not the best title to a song(i know) but this line kept haunting me all morning "this type of life didn't come with instructions" By now if you reading this and thinking ,"like duh!!who din't know that??" hold onto that thought for just a bit. This is one of the most obvious facts:The  things that life can throws at us,sometimes can...
