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!!

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...
