It's never that SERIOUS???!!

There are certain phrases that people say, and once they come out of their mouth, all you can do is stare at them in silence trying to act polite and just smile.Yet deep down, there's a strong inclination to shout out "Are you serious?" One example that slowly gets on my nerves (not always,but in most cases) is: IT'S NEVER THAT SERIOUS. I know, it's never that serious, because taking everything too seriously makes you uptight, which is not a flattering quality. What annoys me most about these 5 words, is how some people choose to use it as an excuse when things go downhill, or when trying to convince you that your opinion doesn't matter to them ( hence the annoying aspect) So my head went to work on a few words and this is what i came up with,it's very SERIOUS!

Come on, it’s never that serious..

Nothing is that serious.

When I lose out on what I want,

"It’s never that serious.."

When I get what I don’t deserve,

"It’s still never that serious…"

When I choose to live differently,

And to believe in something,

"But still, it’s never that serious…"

So when does it get serious?

Is it a matter of opinion and choice,

For something to matter?

Or is it your way of living and letting go…

Letting go of what matters,

Living a life that doesn’t matter,

Yet life is serious, and everything matters!

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...
