Well, Initially I wanted to write about all the trouble out there, but then again… WHO AM I, to sit and talk about life matters in my younger years?

I believe the world is not in need of a reminder from me about that heavy subject but — A reminder of how to be more balanced when the troubleshooting happens in our minds and headspaces.

On the 27th of March, I had the honor to become more than 26years old, I turned 27. I overcame my own expectations of outside sources, and with that, I mean;

I was continuously fighting my past, with my future goals and DREAMS.
Not wanting to be stuck but, then got stuck in my head in a way. This all happened before my bday btw.

How did I manage to come back so soon to write, and take the mic again while taking on my next dream goals, I set for myself years ago (7 years ago).

Many people tell me how I intrigue them, well. I am a reflection of something somehow, somewhere of something you read or saw OVERLY EXPOSED on the media.

My VOGUE . — WE NEED VOGUE AFRICA OR START WITH VOGUE RWANDA TO MAKE UP OR HELP HEAL ALL THE DAMAGE/CREATIVE SOULS CAUSED AS AN RESULT/EFFECT OF THE GENOCIDE 27y ago. #27years — 27.03.1994

BURDENS — AND — BLESSINGS

Getting older is a burden, but also a blessing:

Why? Well, you have more baggage to put down. Speaking as an AFRICAN — BLACK —RWANDESE — HUMAN.

2. Understanding everything is an outcome OR, a choice you voiced and put into action and motion…

— — — BE CAREFULLY WHAT YOU WISH FOR CAUSE, IT MIGHT HAPPEN? WILL YOU BE MENTALLY READY WHEN IT DOES? We need to ask ourselves different and challenging questions, concure your own worries and try daily to come back to THOSE. #LessonsLEARNED.and.NOTED

  • Taking responsibility is more needed than always replying.

3. Feeling like you have had a mental illness because of COVID-19, We all experienced daily mood swings and can relate more easily, or so it goes for myself, to many emotions forced to stay inside, hmm? Your aware? Do we understand the concept or did we forget to write the right history? Hmm…, more like Tired. unrested. bored. homesick. or Broke, and sadly for some poor and starving and afraid and under-appreciated.
Can you make place for the dreamers and achievers?

#HOPE BUT, NEVER WAIT.

— Matching song: ADEKUNLE GOLD / Okay

4. Knowing thyself, within thyself. — I am a positive and optimistic person, and after a year of this mess, I feel like they are RE-BRANDING the socials problems daily. shhmmm…

5. RASCISME is ignorance and stupidity, I don’t feel comfortable entertaining that in any way. Skip me or skip your song and go play it in your own homes #LOL !!!

BONUS tip:

6. Behaviours of others: when you cant relate look for a relatable matter or don't take it personally.

NOW let’s NOT ACT AS IF THERE ARE NO PROGRESSIONS or IMPROVEMENTS, — ALSO PLS, Drink a thee with honey, or coffee, jack honey or vodka with ginger juice & pineapple juice… To CELEBRATE or remember all the good memories and when we do, it’s easier to come back and focus on the positive.

ALSO, LOVE THOSE THAT LOVE YOU AND SHOWED IT IN THEIR ACTIONS; a real-time/emotion saver.

Wishing everybody; prosperity, wisdom, peace of mind, more abundance in the needed ways.

Raising awareness is more important than judgment at this point, of course, do to others what you don't want to be done to you, (not a single religion says nor really preaches to harm, so focus pls. #guideLINES. #Rainbow.RIBBONS.)
