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 be too hard to bear and no human being alive can deny that.At times I wish life did come with instructions,so that at least when am stuck in those "i don't know what to do" moments i can just look up a manual and fix it.But unfortunately this beautiful thing called life will never come with instructions...and all that's left to do is write up my own manual.Life will surprise me,in good and bad ways..tear my heart out and at some point give me the brightest smile...i may never know exactly what to expect at any given time but i can always be sure about the 2 options life will bring me(good or bad). To  take in  and deal with all that life brings,no matter what!That's  my manual.

I have to love my life,the harder it hits me ,the stronger I  am.There will be times when my heart won't take it and it's in those times i have to remember that there's Someone far greater than life itself and I know that He's definitely on my side.This type of life didn't come with instructions....but am making my own manual!!!

A million tears in a thousand hills

It's hard to forget something that turns your life upside down ,it's harder still  not to wonder how life would have been like growing up in the land of a thousand hills..Sometimes am grateful that i was too young to know the evil that was happening during the Rwandan Genocide..then at other times i keep picturing the lives torn apart and destroyed by the wave of tribal hate. Its during such  times that i realize that the impact of such an atrocity is far greater than remembering every single act committed. My memories for the 1994 Rwandan Genocide are like a blank page slowly being filled by the stories  am told..endless accounts of nights of terror and days of struggle.Some lived to tell their stories while others had nothing but a corpse to re-tell their 100 days of horror.The one thing that  has always disturbed my conscious was the question why?Why shed the blood?Why let innocent lives get tortured ?Why kill another just like you? It's like a story of t...

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...

The good,the bad the ugly…the beautiful years of my life!

Happy new year!!!Two weeks down the line, and I still can’t predict how my 2013 will go down. I bet that’s the exciting part about new years( except from the annoying fact that I still   keep writing down the dates as 2012). Took me a while to write my first 2013 post,mostly cause I   had a cliché   idea of writing something about fresh starts,but I won’t take that turn.New year means a lot of things not just new beginnings, it’s also about rolling with the days as they come even when everything seems to stay the same, year in year out. Above all I can’t deny the fact that am alive, who knows what could have happened and nothing makes my heart more grateful   to my God for that blessing. So my first post this year is a lyrical piece written and   dedicated to my 2012 memories and 2013 ‘s unpredictable events. Two decades,that’s how long    I waited for you… If I could wait this long,then what could   possibly go wrong? I knew so...
