Our Side of the Story

Kindly answer the following questions :)

Working on becoming that interesting uncle to my nephews and nieces. Where everytime they come to my house they return with priceless souvenirs. And no! I dont mean trauma.

“Some things are up to us, and others are not. By focusing on what is in our control we can direct our efforts accordingly. We need to accept that the world is what it is.”

Hey guys I need a favor. Anyone with siblings who need private music lessons for the summer preferably from the age 7-15? @DebbieTesfaye

እግረ መንገዳችንን having to face unpleasant circumstances in life ብቻውን በሳል አያደርግም...እንደው ሺህ ጊዜ በቀልዱም በቁም ነገሩም መሃል "ብዙ ነገር አሳልፌያለሁ...ብዙ ተጎድቻለሁ" Okay, ምን ይሁን?! Your struggles are not everyone’s business ለሀገሬው ህዝብ ሁሉ በምንትስ አመቴ ማንትስ እንዲህ አርጎኝ...በዚህ ቁልቁለት ተንከባልዬ...ያንኛው ጉድጓድ ውጦኝ...የእውነት ማናችንም አያገባንም:: Sit and learn from these troubling days you’ve experienced, then you’ll truly fathom what growth and maturity feel like. And please, አለን በምትሉት ዕውቀት አምላክ እንዳመጣላችሁ አትናገሩ...ከእናንተ የሚሻል ሊያርማችሁ ቢመጣ እሺ ብሎ ማዳመጡን ባህርያችሁ አድርጉት...ምን ጊዜም ደግሞ እናንተ ካላችሁ አስተሳሰብ ፍፁም ተቃራኒ እይታ ያለው ሠው ሊገጥማችሁ እንደሚችል እመኑ...have an open mind to conversations and meaningful arguments.

ሁልጊዜም ቢሆን ትክክል ነኝ የሚል አቋም ካላችሁ... ከፊታችሁ ገና ብዙ የዕድገት ጉዞ ስለሚኖር መልካም መንገድ! በደንብ "የተብላሉ/ የበሠሉ" አስተሳሰቦች ኑሮን ያቀላሉ...ትኩረት የሚያሻቸውን እና የህይወታችንን ትልቅ ቦታ መያዝ ያለባቸውን ነገሮች ለመለየት ስለሚጠቅሙ:: አቅም በፈቀደው ልክም የተፃፈውን ማንበብ የተነገረውንም በንፅህና ማድመጥ ለበሠለ አስተሳሰብ አስፈላጊ ጅማቶች ናቸው:: በአንድ ጊዜ ልብሠል ብሎ መነሳት የሚባል ታሪክ የለም... let time do it’s job, experience what you need to experience, be uncomfortable, understand pain is essential to growth and move on from victimizing yourselves. ከዚህ ሁሉ አልፎ ብስለቱ ሳትፈልጉት ይመጣል::

Lately it dawned on me, the number of potential heartbreaks I have to endure due to failed attempts of helping people. The lives I’m going to lose to suicide not because I didn’t try hard enough to provide appropriate attention but because it’s just the way it is. When I risked a lot and dropped so many things to study psychology I was just fueled with so much passion and excitement because I was able to follow what I actually want for once not what other people think I’m capable of that I didn’t even take a look at the high rate of the risk factors and lost causes I will be experiencing. This isn’t a I should have never made this choice but a realization that despite one’s undivided efforts failure is inevitable. And as unfair as that is, it’s okay I guess. You can never be perfect at whatever it is that you do, but you could at least try.

Anyways Pray For Ethiopia, always.

I hate how the moment a protest is mentioned it’s tied to some recent trauma everyone experienced as a whole. And it never ends well.

You’re not doing things right if you’re comfortable and everyone agrees with your ideologies.

Pieces of my heart. Take care of them🤍
