Green is not your colour!!!

      Ever had one of those days when a  really well dressed stranger passes you by?
( emphasis on the REALLY!!) Normally  you would  never look twice at anyone when you walk down the streets, but there is always that one exception,when  you can't help but stare and give credit where its due.
Today morning happened to be one of those days, i met  a lady who had definitely discovered her sense in fashion, tres chic!! And i wasn't the only one who noticed, cause everyone i  was standing next to at the bus stop was as mesmerized! We were following her with our eyes, literally!! But as she was slowly getting out of sight, i noticed  another  lady too, she had this look on her face, like disgust or some kind of anger..and she was  looking straight  at the smart lady.It was a look i will probably  never forget, because it was a bit scary.My facts may be wrong but i could have sworn she was jealous ( or maybe she knew the lady and  had some sort of  grudge with her, who knows!?!) But that scary look was just too creepy and i left that bus stop thinking of  that look that screamed GREEN MONSTER!!!!! JEALOUSY


Those eyes! That stare!
You might just burn your eyes with that horrible glare.
From head to toe,
Searching for that one little fault..
Yet all you see is what you are not.


Green lil monster unleashing the horror,
Green lil monster taking over!

All you do is compare,
Leaving your heart in more despair.
You forget what you have,
You think of what others have.

Green lil monster having its way,
Green lil monster taking you away!

(Umy)

I don't remember where i got this  quote from but it captures the jealousy theory in an incredible way. " When you are  jealous of someone, its either  they have what you want or  they have what you don't have" ( it goes something like that, not sure)
Jealousy eats away some part of you that makes you forget the special things that remind you of who you are or even the blessings you have in your life.I am  beyond perfect so believe me when i tell you  that  jealousy eats away your soul, and i know that  through experience when it ate mine.

The only way to destroy this monster is to  start appreciating the things that we already have and the person that we are.It's not easy , but its much better to live life with a less greener soul!

PS: If green is your favourite colour, ignore the title to this post! And Environmentally, am ALL GREEN

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...

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...
