The ones who sent me off❤️
A new chapter in my life. I have left home for a short period. This episode is about how everyone who love me shooshed me away.
Ode to Clare UMUTONI
These are just 3 people in your life, but I am sure if all your friends had to say anything about you, it wouldn't be far from an intentional, gracious, kind, and small friend. Cheers to your existence. You make the world a better place.
Between Brave and Broken.
This one is about "Lamentations of mine". I can't count the number of times I have cried for the past three weeks, but the tears were created to flow, right 😂. I am because, my best-friend and boyfriend are. My friend is because I am 💁. So at the end of the day UBUNTU.

You can’t love them—but someone does.
People you don’t think deserve love…are loved anyway. Not by you, but they probably don’t care about you not loving them. While you are harboring hatred in your heart, isn’t it better to free them for your heart?
Victory vs Domination: What Are We Really Fighting For?

Held by Love: finding support in the in-between

Friendship breakups: unspoken goodbyes
Some friendships are not meant to last forever, and that’s okay. But when they end, how do we go about closure in a loving way? This is my personal experience, it might not apply to you, or it might. Take what resonates with you and leave what doesn’t❤️
On pauses, excuses, and finding balance.
« Uzangaye guhera ntuzangaye gutinda », à Kinyarwanda proverb (somehow) translating to « condemn me for not showing up, but don’t condemn me for delaying ». So here I am 🥳, in all of my glory. And happy new year 😂🎉.
