So you probably already know that I am from Rwanda, well today I talked to my dad and he was not happy. You see I want to go to Kigali, I want to go to the genocide Memorial and find out more about what happened and who I am. 
This picture shows crosses, it shows how many people died during this tragedy, I want to visit it, I feel if I go there I will be more connected to my mum and family. I want to go to my village, just to see what it would've been like and walk on the same ground where my family once did. I want to know is this where my family life ended.
"Sometimes when I think of going back, I feel like I could run there. Like I'm being called back or something. I know it sounds ridiculous, I know, but I -"
I told my dad this but he has forbidden me to go. I know hes just doing it because he doesn't want me to get hurt, but I need to do this, I need to take this step to find myself.
"And sometimes I don't give a shit about any of it and I just want to stack shelves for the rest of my life"
