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!Its a strange feeling but am getting used to it.
Where do i even start???This place is hilly,beautiful,calm,serene...am in a capital city that doesn't even sound noisy,its  way too clean,the air is way too fresh!!its weirdly good!! And in my first week here i discovered my 2nd worst phobia, riding  a motorbike!!( who am i kidding, the ride is exhilarating but am just too scared to get on that thing again!!!)
The hilly views are breathtaking,the people are beautiful, the food is amazing,what more could anyone ask for??( thats just being patriotic ) 
Honestly there's a whole lot to write about my visit here,and i have a whole lot of time to write it all down. STAY TUNED FOR MORE!!

The Man That Made Me Believe In Impossibilities

How do I write about a man whose loud presence can’t be ignored? How do I begin to describe a man whose life should be written down in volumes of books, a man whose battles and achievements could literally make you wonder why you have never tried out that daredevil in you? A man whose blind faith and roaring spirit will leave you believing that anything is possible, as long as you just do it! I have never written down anything much about my father, mostly because words won’t do him justice and because you need to experience him to actually know who he is. He is tough, he is loud, he is sharp and witty, he never gives up and he is simply my papa. I know I will never get it right when it comes to the adjectives that could describe papa, mostly because he is more than words. He’s the man who’s taught me to live in the moment, because we can’t really trust the future. A man who’s taught me to be witty, because sometimes you have to outdo the book smarts to survive. A man who’s ta...

The good,the bad the ugly…the beautiful years of my life!

Happy new year!!!Two weeks down the line, and I still can’t predict how my 2013 will go down. I bet that’s the exciting part about new years( except from the annoying fact that I still   keep writing down the dates as 2012). Took me a while to write my first 2013 post,mostly cause I   had a cliché   idea of writing something about fresh starts,but I won’t take that turn.New year means a lot of things not just new beginnings, it’s also about rolling with the days as they come even when everything seems to stay the same, year in year out. Above all I can’t deny the fact that am alive, who knows what could have happened and nothing makes my heart more grateful   to my God for that blessing. So my first post this year is a lyrical piece written and   dedicated to my 2012 memories and 2013 ‘s unpredictable events. Two decades,that’s how long    I waited for you… If I could wait this long,then what could   possibly go wrong? I knew so...

Start Acting, Stop Typing

June, how I've waited for you! 23 days down with  30 minutes to spew out my thoughts to the world. Here we go... I never like to talk about my life in here, instead I only add the bits I feel would implicate me less in this era of  'hey guys, welcome to my channel'. As much as I want to keep things mysterious to spice up my online persona, I feel like a lot can go wrong with an audience that hides behind screens. I would rather take my chances on being as evasive as possible. Yes, I'm admitting  to my cowardice.  However, I will defend my stance by saying that whatever thoughts I type in here, are rarely inspired by my own life. Rather, they have everything to do with how I perceive the world (people/places/things/ANYTHING)  around me. That's the inspiration. What I hide  is under lock and key in  a mind vault labelled "PRIVATE, for Yvette's crazy thoughts only". The world around me and how I would like to change it through the words I share is wh...
