Playing in the big league

L.A.Z.Y!! That's my excuse for taking so long to write anything for the past 2 months.I have had so much to say but so little motivation to just put it out there.I have had so many "i don't feel like it" moments when i just don't feel like writing anything.But the lazy spell was finally broken a few days ago when i heard a really old song (it's not that old ,like 16years ago ).

I honestly got goosebumps listening to it... a rap song with classical music in it!I don't know if am the only person who experiences this, but i can always trace the timeline of my life according to songs that i used to hear at a that particular point in my life.Just give me a song and the events of my life will easily come flashing through my mind .These songs are like a time-machine for me, always taking me back to everything and anything that's considered a memory.
Enough about my special time-travelling skills,let me talk about what this song did to me! I was hooked on just 4 simple lines of this song,

"life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big heart
some of us gotta run a little faster cause we gotta later start
but I'd be a fool to surrender

when I know I can be a contender"

Coolio:"C u when i get there"

The song is like a collection of stories told through a rap and the classical piece in it just "kills" me with the violins!!!Even though am not doing a review about the song i would give it a 9 out of 10(justsaying).
I kept thinking about these words until i wrote this down:

Life is like playing in the big leagues.

The expecatations,
hopes,dreams,goals,
disappointments,sacrifice, the succeses and failures are all part of the game.
The rules are simple;keep living and you will be halfway to winning the game.
Everyone plays a different postion in the team,
everyone has their own unique values to add to the world.
And in every game there will always be an opposing team, and therefore with life it's inevitable to face all sorts of setbacks and opposition.All it takes to finally win the game is to keep playing,don't just play the game, play it with heart!It's a big league, so play it with a big heart.

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...
