   Hey Siri! Play live more and love more by Cat Burns. Lately my life has been eventful to the point I felt that the world is going faster than usual, I wanted it to pause at least for a while so I could catch up, my life seemed to move without me following suit( crazy right🙄). Being honest with myself, It still feels that way sometimes, I still need that pause but guess what? The world is so cruel that it can’t even let you have a second to gather yourself! It keeps moving. When you mourn, it doesn’t wait for you to get back to your feet, when you’re hungry it doesn’t wait for you to grab some food, when you are confused it confuses you more by moving and leaving you behind with a lot to sort out and deal with not to mention the adjustments you’d have to make to fit in where it’s revolving. It’s just the way it is, it’s been like that and trust me it won’t change, no matter where you are, who you are, what you are going through, the world will keep moving, it’s a sad realit...

Pained but strong

The most innocent human being is a child but that didn’t matter, the one who fed you, gave milk to your kids, uwa kubyariye abana, uwo wakamugabiye inka. Uwo wasezeranye kubana nawe mugatandukanywa n’urupfu, uwo ntiwakamwishe urubozo . Your wife/husband, a neighbor, your children, your friends, innocent kids that you saw growing and playing in the neighborhood, uwa kugabiye, uwa kurereye, uwo ntiwakamuvukije ubuzima . The 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, abacu bapfa bazize uko bavutse, bapfana inzara n’inyota bari batunze, bagwa ku gasozi bari bubatse, bitwa inzoka bari bafite ubumuntu nyabumuntu. Aba bantu bari beza, nibo twigiyeho ubupfura We remember, I remember to prevent their memories from fading away, turibuka, ndibuka kugirango mbahe agaciro bambuwe bakwiye, nous nous souvenons, je me souviens pour pouvoir dire plus jamais au génocide. I wasn’t born at the time but I heard stories, stories of the aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins and siblings I didn’t get the chance to meet....
