I walked onto the podium, my heart had never beaten faster and my feet had never felt heavier. I wondered why I had agreed to this. I hadn’t thought it through, the responsibility that was to be weighted on my shoulders, the endless pages that never came to an end, the sarcastic lines that I couldn’t help but print. Despite the love that I had for this some times I felt I wasn’t ready for this. Suddenly the applauds stopped and the room went still, all eyes were on me and I swear I could hear a pin drop. Then my lips gave way to words in my mind while I prayed that my heart would kick in sooner that later.

“Over the pasts years I have made friends who have cried with me, laughed with me, were always on my side even though I was wrong but also rebuked me when I was going off the rail. These friends will forever hold a place in my heart. I have shed a few tears along the way and crawled up to a sweet story with a warm cup of tea in my hands. I have seen the world through the eyes of others and this has made my existence as Ugandan girl worth living. I haven’t read from a few of these friends in a while but maybe one day they will remember their first love and will come back and we’ll live happily ever after. "

"Some one keeps reminding me that am complicated - but I am glad that my friends here love me for who I am, the way I am., with no prejudice……”

Then I thought, who am kidding am not barrack Obama but Ugandan girl has made three years today…:-)

Stay blessed
