I can't get you out of my head!!!


Maybe I want you,
Maybe I don’t.
If there’s something about you,
To make me want you,
Maybe I might just really want you.

Trying to think it through,
But when I can’t get you out of my head,
I know I have reached the end!
There’s no maybe,
There’s just my reason  for wanting you.




They say once you know what you want in life,then you got your life all figured out.Mmmhh…whoever came up with such a line probably wasn’t thinking clearly or…they didn’t take time to factor in people like me who sometimes never know what they want. When it comes down to the little things in life, its easy to know what I  want…then along comes the heavy- duty stuff which never leaves me in peace when it comes to making a decision.

You might probably be thinking that I am such a confused wreck if I have no idea of what I want, cause   honestly I would think that way if I met someone  who had no sense to know what they wanted even in the simplest of things( to be very honest I would be  irritated!!) But before I explain myself,  you have to at least  know the real reason why I am writing this. It all started with a simple conversation that led to the hardest question  I had to face the whole of this week “WHAT DO YOU WANT?”

In my defense, I  came up with this reason of why knowing what you want doesn’t necessarily mean  having it all figured out:” The things we want in life  always have a two-side story to them,that is they either  make a lasting impression on our lives or they( i.e the things we want) quickly fade away. Not knowing what I want immediately , is just my way of taking caution  so that I don’t land myself in any situation that  leads me to more uncertainity…maybe it’s a coward act, but  I learn more from it than  always knowing what I want. I think  through what I want before I make it official that I really do want it.”
If what I want makes a lasting impression on me such that I can’t get it out of my head,then I definitely know what I want!!

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...

In another life...

"I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us" If these words were sang as a  sort of world anthem,then i think the world would be a much better place in some ways.I heard the song over the weekend and just one listen to it was enough to get my mind buzzing and for some time now i had never really found a song to say just what  i felt until i heard B.O.B on the radio rapping it out for the whole world to hear. So this morning,thanks to google i just found out that there are close to 7 billion people in the world...and am one of them!!So why in the world would such a song be of any help to me when am faced with this huge number of strangers i call my fellow human beings??How is it possible that in my own little ,maybe even meaningless capacity, i  could help  so many( 7 billion!!!!)???....but when i heard the chorus to this song  "I wish I was strong enough to lift not one bu...
