Slowpoke...

To all the hip hop music fans,forgive me for being such an amateur about it,hence  my   confession before i write this post : I don't have a clue  about Hip Hop and all that it is,all i know is who  sings what....so i picked a song by Eminem ( i can't deny  that i like his songs  and that's the reason am even writing this)  and then  i picked a few lines that stuck in my head all through the song.
 Till I Collapse (Eminem ft.Nate Dogg)
"This is your moment and every single minute you spend trying to hold onto it"
 "Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that s*** out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse."
 
We all want the good life,but to get there it  means living the 
hard life.Problem is, we want it fast!!Am in that category too,wishing everything i wanted would just come at the snap of my fingers and i easily forget how life acts like a slowpoke!
Life has a way of taking its sweet and precious time,especially when we want something out of it.  It's  a hard lesson to learn and accept, but if Eminem could figure it out,who am i not to?!Nothing that isn't worthwhile  will  ever come easy,the longer it takes the better it gets.Learning not quit even when things get harder.Finding that inner strength only makes us stronger .
It's easy to outrun a slowpoke,but with this slowpoke called life the only way to win the race is by sticking it out till the end,even if the end is nowhere in sight.

 PS:Confession number 2: Those are just the beginning lines of the song,i had to look up the rest of the lyrics cause they were rapped too fast,told you am  clueless when it comes to Hip Hop!!

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...

The Man That Made Me Believe In Impossibilities

How do I write about a man whose loud presence can’t be ignored? How do I begin to describe a man whose life should be written down in volumes of books, a man whose battles and achievements could literally make you wonder why you have never tried out that daredevil in you? A man whose blind faith and roaring spirit will leave you believing that anything is possible, as long as you just do it! I have never written down anything much about my father, mostly because words won’t do him justice and because you need to experience him to actually know who he is. He is tough, he is loud, he is sharp and witty, he never gives up and he is simply my papa. I know I will never get it right when it comes to the adjectives that could describe papa, mostly because he is more than words. He’s the man who’s taught me to live in the moment, because we can’t really trust the future. A man who’s taught me to be witty, because sometimes you have to outdo the book smarts to survive. A man who’s ta...

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...
