Keeping it together.....

I began this post trying so hard to create a mash up of all 2014 events, but halfway through I gave up and realized how pointless it was because my 2014 is ending with one major life event called….ME! Don’t judge me yet, am not one of those people with an overbearing need to talk about myself (maybe some times) And with that said,let's begin my 2014 tales and twists, all wrapped up in one lesson:

Your twenties are not years of discovery but years meant to let you know that you've actually discovered yourself, the only thing needed is to actually choose what you discovered…or else suffer the consequences of a confused 20something….

It’s so cliché to be told that when you are in your twenties, you have a full life ahead of you, and that these are the years meant for trying out everything, failing and succeeding at everything, and living life fully without a care in the world. I honestly agree with that, but what’s got me bothered is how being in your twenties seems like a world of confusion.Yet as the year ends, and I know that i might not have fully figured out everything or achieved everything I want, but at least I know so much more about myself than the 2013 me.

Lesson number 2, which began my 2014 and will always be the one lesson I learn each year:

Keep it together, keep it together! God’s got this!!

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...
