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!!

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...
