Tick tock...tick tock.....



We have  31,536,000 seconds in a year, now minus 1,209,600 seconds (that’s a whole  2 weeks)  ,if you  a math geek  am probably sure this is worth your while   since you may be  trying to make sure I get my calculations right.Anyway,not wasting any more of your time,I will go straight to the song that I listened to this week after it hit the music world 3 years ago,and I could hum the chorus word by word once the song was over  “GOTTA LIVE LIKE WE’RE DYING”(am not joking!!)
It got me feeling  soooo..... guilty and I couldn’t help but write this post.( it has been 2 weeks since my last post.). Been feeling a little bit uninspired lately,but since I have to tell the truth,it’s been more of a lazy spell (now you know why am feeling guilty).So when I heard this song,it got me thinking of those days when my mom would always say “never put what you could do today for another day” and when it’s said in my mother-tongue with my mom’s voice,the effect on me has always been to get off my b*** and do what I gotta do!!
 So before I wrote this post ,I tried talking to myself (I haven’t gone cuckoo,its just something I like doing). I told myself that  if I could just start typing anything that came to my mind no matter how stupid it sounded  at least I would have done something.And those tiny voices in my head that told me to put things off ,I finally came up with  2 magic words  “SHUT UP”  to vanquish procrastination’s  lazy spell

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...
