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!!

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...
