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!!

Boxed in...

" Thinking out of the box, thinking like there's no box "..who cares?????  example of  wise words that I have ignored  a thousand times simply because they are money-making ideas for  inspirational gurus fixed on creating  bestselling  mantras.They give you that "i-can-do-anything" willpower which slowly fades into a  "maybe-i-can't-do-that" motto.  I am not writing this down to discredit these wise adages or worse still, to count the number of times i have ignored these words .But am writing this because i had the most unusual wake-up call,from one of these bestselling jingles "Think outside the box" Let's hit rewind and go back to a few weeks ago...it was back to class and that feeling of "am-not-ready-for-school" was nagging at me.3 months of internship,and a week to rest( which was  recuperation period from tonsils), and now back to school with a project proposal due in a week.Complaining is so easy when you have the ...

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...

Totally offside!

It's that time of the world, when the only thing i get about football is the theme song.Frankly speaking, if there were no "waka waka" and "ole ola" i would flush  this FIFA business out of my head.I have lived through 6 World Cups, and what do i have to show for my enthusiasm about football? Nothing! Football has never been my cup of tea, and there was a time growing up i remember hating all that hullabaloo that comes with it.You would assume that living with 3 brothers would make me have a soft  spot for the game, but it didn't. It made me more indifferent .Thinking of  all the cartoon shows i missed all because of a sports update that had to be watched ( probably the best days of my childhood). Despite, my clueless nature about football, i've come a long way with the game..proof of which is my mysterious knowledge of footballers' names even though i don't know how their faces look like! The soccer terminologies,well, it's enough to know...
