#UgBlogWeek Day 2: Why I Stopped Watching Tv
Its 6:45am, I am struggling to talk to God. I am cramping, it is not helping my cause. I whisper a silent prayer and open my phone to get to my Bible app but I end up on Facebook, and as I scroll through it, I find a post by a ’friend’ (we all know…

Face Off!
We wear the smiles so well. Our eyes are dipped in water to keep them bright. We the strong ones need to keep up a good front. I am torn inside and breaking. But the faces we wear to show that we are fine, that we are Okay are many. We wear the pride of…
What the eyes can see, the mind can only comprehend
Most times when I am done with running around town chasing that deal, that meeting, that person, that payment, that and that; I tend to sit down at any pavement or even a bench (benches are rare in this Musisi city except at bus stops) and recap my day, watch people rushing to do their…

Stop Squeezing Your Brain Over Love
Love. It is not something that can be grown. It sparks at the most unexpected moment. One who loves would naturally find himself thinking about her all the time, wanting to furnish her with everything she sets her eyes on, whatever it takes. When she cries, your heart feels as if it is being slashed…
It Is All Falling Apart!
Underneath the truth there is a lie, Alongside good lies the bad, There is a left on the same lane as the right, A wrong always creeping on the right, The negative shoulder to shoulder with the positive, The impossible like siblings with possible, The darkness in the light, The poor fence to fence with…
Freedom Is Your Birth Right
