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

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...
