Life’s too short,don’t let it make u shorter….

This week I wrote a letter to Monday that made me realize something…NOTHING LASTS FOREVER!! It doesn’t take a genius to realize that ,but it took me a lot of time to really believe it.So this morning when I was going through My Yahoo! I read an article about a Yale student(Marina Keegan R.I.P) who had passed on.What struck me was how after her death the words she wrote or said made such an impact and that they were so profound yet so simple'' The notion that it's too late to do anything is comical. It's hilarious. We're graduating college. We're so young. We can't, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it's all we have."

I tried looking for a song that could really sink in my words but didn’t find any.Writing a poem about this would end up being sombre so I hope that my words really make sense.Here goes…We always say that life’s too short and I can’t argue with that.Each passing second is a passing second of uncertainty,we never know what will happen next no matter how sure we are about things happening.

We all got times when time just seems to fly by and then there are those times when time just seems to stand still,maybe that’s another irony in this life we call short. So as I read this article about Marina i kept on thinking that life is not short,instead it’s the time we have in this life that’s short(I hope am making sense coz it confused me too J ) Time is the unpredictable factor in our lives,but its also the key to making this short life taller.

Time is a limitless source of possibilities.The mere fact that it’s unpredictable is the one thing that makes life worth living.To know that anything can change in just a second can only mean that each second that passes opens up new events that I can use to my advantage,no matter how inconvenient they may be.

To think of the drastic changes that life can bring but see them in a new light,helps a lot.I guess they call it the power of positive thinkingJSo I’ve decided to try it out, and I hope that in this short life we all have,we can always choose to stand tall even when the worst comes our way.

Boxed in...

" Thinking out of the box, thinking like there's no box "..who cares????? example of wise words that I have ignored a thousand times simply because they are money-making ideas for inspirational gurus fixed on creating bestselling mantras.They give you that "i-can-do-anything" willpower which slowly fades into a "maybe-i-can't-do-that" motto. I am not writing this down to discredit these wise adages or worse still, to count the number of times i have ignored these words .But am writing this because i had the most unusual wake-up call,from one of these bestselling jingles "Think outside the box" Let's hit rewind and go back to a few weeks ago...it was back to class and that feeling of "am-not-ready-for-school" was nagging at me.3 months of internship,and a week to rest( which was recuperation period from tonsils), and now back to school with a project proposal due in a week.Complaining is so easy when you have the ...

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...

Totally offside!

It's that time of the world, when the only thing i get about football is the theme song.Frankly speaking, if there were no "waka waka" and "ole ola" i would flush this FIFA business out of my head.I have lived through 6 World Cups, and what do i have to show for my enthusiasm about football? Nothing! Football has never been my cup of tea, and there was a time growing up i remember hating all that hullabaloo that comes with it.You would assume that living with 3 brothers would make me have a soft spot for the game, but it didn't. It made me more indifferent .Thinking of all the cartoon shows i missed all because of a sports update that had to be watched ( probably the best days of my childhood). Despite, my clueless nature about football, i've come a long way with the game..proof of which is my mysterious knowledge of footballers' names even though i don't know how their faces look like! The soccer terminologies,well, it's enough to know...
