To my dearest 22

Dearest 22,
I have waited two decades  to meet you and all i can say is that I  can't wait to  live  life with you by my side.My time with you will be short and what lies in store for us only God knows, but either way  am happy to begin life with a new start  this year...am hoping that i will learn more from you than i did with 21.She was a close friend and we went through a lot together.My intention for writing this isnt't  to make you feel jealous, but  i hope and pray that  you will be as  exciting as my sweetheart 21 was.The beauty of  meeting you today is that everything about you is still a mystery to me.
I get excited knowing that i have new adventures waiting for me and that i have another year full of endless possibilities.I want to play my cards right with you, and so i will start by giving you a  sneak preview of the plans i have  in store for us and i can only pray that all will go according to plan.So where do i start?? I always  begin with God and all i can tell you is that i want you to  always keep me close to the One who made me and you owe Him that much because he brought us together.The next thing on my list is introducing you to my  family, they mean more to me than anything in this world so it's only fair that they get to know you...this year i want to be a  better sister, daughter,aunt and friend.It's not easy being away from them at times, but whatever the case, help me to appreciate and love this earthly heaven of mine i call family.Soon there will be new faces to meet and new places to explore, so help me through this and keep me sane through it all.Next on my list is school, not a favourite topic for most(you can ask 21) but my dearest 22 you are one special girl!Spending my last year at university with you counts for something special,so don't take it as a challenge because no matter what happens we will get through those books together and finish with a bang!( this is me trying to get you psyched up).It must be fate that i met you on the first day of my end year exams .
This is is turning into one long letter and i still have a lot to say!The words i may write may seem meaningless right now, but  dearest 22  all i want you to know is that each day with you will be unique and every day by your side will be  a step closer to achieving my dreams.They are big dreams and that's probably the only thing that should get you scared( and excited) .Even though life might make you regret why you are with me,please remember  that nothing is ever a bed of roses..and it all comes down to how much you learn and turn those lessons into milestones in this journey called life.I love you very much and am happy and blessed to be with my dearest 22!!

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...
