choices

It’s exactly 10:50 pm on this September day as i write this down. At this hour i feel like writing. Yesterday was my supposed due birthday says my mom.
” You came earlier than expected. I got malaria and rushed to the hospital, you rushed out too in a few minutes.” As i ponder on this, i believe God chose my day to be earlier, and that was his ultimate choice for me.
Our lives have been filled with choices, everyday we have to make choices, whether to wake up at a particular time, even when we reset the alarm, it’s to our choice. we choose where to go, how to get there, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, even our friends are a choice.
Flash back to my most vivid disturbing decision on whether i should drop my dream course or go to the “cream de la cream” university. I lay in the dark and wondered if it was worth it. The lifestyle was tempting, i mean it was one i dreamed of, dancing all night, painting the town red, visiting Kampala’s “finesse” lit venues, but one of my passions was calling… the latter screamed louder i guess because it sounded more and more in my head, i pursued my dream…once again i made a choice. One of the best so far◊◊◊◊
Love can be a puddle of snowflakes and cream on one end, and berries and ice cream on another. In spite of that, it leaves one with the right to choose who to love.
So as i lay here wondering if the lights will turn back on, it’s complete darkness in here. I choose my bed. As everyone rushes to take on another educational step in their life. I am faced once again with the white whipped cream velvet cake with berries, and i choose to eat it!!! watching and hearing advice of better equipping myself, i choose writing.
You see, i have spent years doing a lot of ” better me things”, but just a few of ” just me things”. so that chapter is all done. today and now, writing fulfills me, and no amount of persuasion is going to get me into the panic of an upcoming exam if you know what i mean…the only panic i am going to embrace is on paper and other upcoming events in my life, and that gives me peace.
