As you stare at Africa made out of words, words that represent who we are, words that represent who we could be, words that represent the best of us, words that are Chaotic, Diverse and Eclectic... May it remind you the Beauty of our Diversity and the Power of our Unity. May we dream big, May we strive for oneness, May we share joy togther, May we feel empathy & stand for our people bleeding in their own land. On the very land our ancestors died to defend, May አድዋ be the token that lights our way forward, May our history shine a ray towards our future, May we be reminded the value of Love, Respect, Work & Unity.
For we are Ethiopians, For we are Africans, For we are One.

You only can control what's controllable you know?
Having plans for the next day, next month or next year is one of the things my brain likes to obsess over. Though I might not end up bringing those plans to life.
I'm not just talking about huge plans here but also the tiniest steps. Believe me I know it isn't healthy but it comes with some fruits. I've learnt no matter how much I want my next step to be figured out, it doesn't always go that way.
There are days where confusion, being lost and feeling helpless are very much needed. I said what I said!
When things go as the way you planned them to or how you want them to, there's that egoistic inner you that surfaces barking
"I can control life and everything around me" the audacity.
Confusion, being lost and feeling helpless will do such a great job to teach your egoistic inner self that not everything can be controlled.
You're anything but figured out so it's okay to not know what your next step is alright? Control what you can control😊
Yeah I go through my head when I have a few hours to rest, this is pretty much what was in there.
Have a good day✨🤍💜

[🌨Seasons🌨]
When people ask me how it feels to wear glasses since young age on daily bases, I always smile and say the world looks so much different behind the glasses. There is an art in looking past the lenses and yet through them.
But it is not always as fun to wear them. Putting on facemask with your glasses for good part of your days is pure struggle. And It gets worse on misty mornings.
My breathes escape the facemask and haze my glasses. My legs decide to function without consulting my eyes, hi-five-ing the gravels and tiny rocks standing on their way clumsily.
Even if I have to pause every now and then to wipe off the fog from the lenses in the misty morning rash hours, I will do it anyway. Cause my eyes need 'em lenses so bad and this is what you do to keep going forward.
And I remind myself this when my emotions cloud my judgment. Something which happens very often by the way. I try to pause and wipe out the thick fog before it starts raining..
But sometimes it rains anyway and it rains heavy. And I call that "The Winter of the soul".
Good thing Winter is a season. And like any season...
this too, shall pass!

FOCUS ON THE PERSON NOT THE SITUATION!!
I struggle with contemplating on my words and actions when someone comes to me bearing a broken heart, going through a mental breakdown or having trouble with doing life. Because no matter how my intentions are only of goodness I might sound unsupportive to the person struggling while trying to help them out so it's better to focus on the person rather than the situation!
Have a lovely day😚💜🤍

This too shall pass✨🤍✨
A line used very frequently and that sounds too good to be true. But believe it or not it is true, whatever situation you're in it'll pass and another sequence of time will replace it. Just hang on to that bit of hope that's left in you or if you don't have any left I pray you find one😊

But something inside you can't deny
You hear the call of your creator
I made you for more
Unlock the door I wanna restore your glory
Now it's time to let the curtains unfold
And tell all the stories that I didn't want told
I let it out so I unburden my soul
I won't stop

I would've walked through hell to find another way
I would've laid me down
If I knew that you would stay
I would've crossed the stars
To keep you in my life
What's it gonna take for you to choose you?
