Praise Kwats Poems and Quotes

PREAMBLE If I am to count some of the hard and yet most important years in my life, 2025 cant really miss. In fact it competes for the first position along with other years, except that others were filled with mostly pain but this, lessons mostly. I think maybe because it was my silver jubilee (uncelebrated) but whatever the case, I learned my lesson. Let us dive deep into the iconic year. AFTER SCHOOL After having finished school in december of 2024, I was glad because I was done with the nagging school routine, but most importantly I was going to be working and having my own money. My friends and I left with hopes high; whereas some already had jobs secured for them, some of us first went home and settled. For my case, I became a farmer and was helping on the harvesting of millet and other farm activities. Of course you know that in western uganda the seaseion for harvesting millet is late December and early January. Life at home was very fine, I was free, especially free from bo...

 So you be there with your partner, and they are hurting  you so much in the way they're behaving, in short they're not treating you well, but you're in love and you want to fix things. So you decide that it's the time to talk about it with them, such that you can have a happy relationship. You prepare your words, the way you'll approach in order that you don't annoy them, you practice how you'll control yourself and you even imagine how you will feel after fixing things. Now you buy airtime, remember you're not a person who over talks on phone. You buy pakapaka minutes; 60 of them because you don't want your conversation to be cut short before you finish.  Now you calm yourself down and call, at first they don't pick. You pretend that maybe they're busy. You give them 30 minutes and call again. Luckily they pick. You are very happy and you know that you are now going to fix things. You start taking, you greet. The moment you start talking wh...

‎I congratulate myself upon this achievement. officially I'm a graduate, a pharmacy technician. I will say it's not what I ever wanted, but also achieving it was not as simple as it seemed. I had aimed for something big but in the end I had to settle for what was available. having been previously academic sound; I scored aggregate 4 at P7 in 2013 at an unknown school deep in Mitooma District which secured me a bursary at one of the best private schools in Western Uganda; Plus Two High School, where I finished my 6 years from. With such a background, the people around me had a lot of hopes in me, and they built in me that I was gonna be successful in life via academics. Which is never a guarantee.  ‎Having spent a full year at home when my colleagues had reported to campus, it's the time that life decided to show the different side of it. Of course the primary reason was that I had been denied my dream course of Bachelors in Pharmacy, but the main reason here was money.  ‎ ‎...

‎After having scored aggregate 4 at PLE (2013), I thought life was gonna be a walk over basing on the words I was always told after that. It later came to be my biggest life regret up to earlier this year. I studied my high school on bursary scheme (thanks to Madam Nancy , the director Plus Two High School ) though I didn't perform as expected at the end of S6. meanwhile I remember how I tried hard to get a vacancy at least for a diploma since I had missed on Bachelors in Pharmacy at MUK . I remember the time I was forced to stay at home for a year as I waited for the following year. The words from whom I thought were my friends that broke me down after missing out on enrollment.  ‎Anyways it was a struggle that greatly destroyed my mental health. The times I wished I wasn't as I was.  ‎the 4 that i had gotten turned out to be the biggest regret i have had for many years right away fromk s1 when a teacher accused me of having cheated exams. the same thing haunted me right aft...

I am sometimes surprised by the fact that the peoplew that love us and are connected to us arw the ones that get the worst versions of us. Like you be outside whole day laughing and being kind and empathgetic to strangers but when we reach home we give the residual energy to people that are even able of taking a bullet for you. I t hink this relates to how a person treats themselves from within. If a person lacks empathy for themselves, he radiates the same energy to people that are closer to him/her. To a peole pleaser, the last person they would want to be happy is themselves.  T hey present the needs of the rest more than their own. i think sometimes this stems from childhood and they carry the same trait to old age. 

Do not fear failure, but be terrified of regret. Giving up is the birth of regret. After you walk out of that door, you will receive 100 doors shut, slammed in your face. You have 100 moments that will be filled with someone telling you no , or telling you thank you for your application but we regret to inform you that we have chosen a different candidate for this job. You will sit in 100 different interviews and you will not get the job. The reality of life is that we will all hear more no’s than we hear the yeses, and we will fail a lot. Do not take a no for an answer, don’t be afraid of the nos. be afraid of the possibility of a yes that you have prematurely destroyed because you decided to quit before the clock strike 12. Telling me no is like adding fuel to a fire that is now set ablaze because of your single no. today I challenge you to fight, to work, to not stop here, to believe so heavily in your aspirations that you too will not fear the word no but instead will choose to wel...

 Often times, people judge others according to the versions of them created in their minds, and at most times, the vesion of you held by them is according to their judgement. Everyone has their own; their best friends, the people that believe in them and the people that look up to them. The saddest part is when people think that the perspective in which they see others is the same way as others see them.

 A month ago I met a stranger, apparently we were chasing the same cause. He was outgoing, lively and initiated the conversation between us and I liked it. He took my phone number after the day and later we started chatting. Alas, I had made a friend. We kept chatting after then about life, jokes,other personal stuff including the original cause of meeting. Unfortunately things didn't go well for him and on realization, he just cut off contact. A friend made and lost within only 2 weeks! I've often encountered similar situations where I meet strangers, we turn into "friends" chatting on a daily basis and in an instant they back off without notice and in a very short time. It leaves me with a question, how exactly do they feel after that?  For the first time after one has met me, one might think I'm the most outgoing person. It also surprises me how I manage to give a cocktail of characteristics. I always seem outgoing and lively but when inside I know I'm a sh...

 I think parents need to realize that their kids also grow and turn into adults, and so they should change their methods of approach with time. A parent yells at a 25 year old son as if he's confronting a 10 year old and with the African setting, talking back to a parent is a sacrilege. I believe once someone has hit those years, they are adults too, and everyone makes mistakes. This entitlement thing of that "you're my kid, I saw you from day one" should be eradicated and stopped. Kids grow up and start thinking the same way as adults do. Everyone makes mistakes and they also notice the mistakes that their parents do.  Yelling at kids in Africa has been a very common vice with stereotypes that kids should not talk back whether they are wrong or right. They did not know the after effects of this. Kids end up growing up with self esteem issues because of the trauma experienced in childhood. They grow up with increased sensitivity and a sense of knowing that they aren...
