ደግሞ for this, a handful of people said its a kind gesture of asking her and making her feel important, valued. Thank you for your responses but even if it’s done I believe it should be done in private :)

እግዚሃር ምህረቱን ያብዛልን አንዳንዶቻችንማ🤣

ባያንስህም አምልኮ ባያንስህም ክብር እኔ እንደሁ መስዋዕቴን ከመሰዋት አልቀር!

I spent the last two hours re organizing my very much organized room and closet because this little girl thought it wasn’t well organized enough. I was lectured and felt like I was the child, but I’d do it again for the satisfaction on her face every time I said “eshi” to her requests. You gots to love kids man!

I just said "ዛሬ ልክ አልዋልኩም" out loud to myself. Someone woke me up without getting enough sleep early in the morning so I went back to sleep (DON’T YOU EVER DO THIS.) Woke up again with my migraine and so much dread, spent the rest of the day watching BBC Earth because Sir David’s narrating always soothes me and wild life is oh my God amazing! Napping and BBC Earth again, some more napping until I remembered I have somewhere to be tomorrow and got another migraine thinking of it. I still have my migraine and I’m thinking about, honestly I don’t even know, there’s a lot. Anyways hope you had a "ልክ ነው የዋልኩት" Monday :)

ደግሞ croissant ኩራሳ እንደሚባል ታውቁ ነበር? እሱም ገርሞኛል::

እየውላችሁ ደግሞ ዛሬ I was bored at home...የሌለብኝን ውጪ ውጪ አለኝ...I asked my mom and sister to walk with me. We went out and stopped at a nearby cafe...ቦታ የለም and it was uncomfortably crowded. One of the waitresses came “ኑ ወደ ውስጥ ግቡ" we thought she found a table but it was just a couple of chairs scattered under those tables you see in tomoca (idk what they’re called) A very much warm gratitude for my height እኔ አልተቸገርኩም but my mom and sister were very uncomfortable እንደ ጎረቤት ልጅ ተወሽቀው...በገዛ ገንዘባችን🤣 So my sister being the lawyer and court person she is “አሃ ምን በወጣን ቦታ ፈልጊልን" ማለት...አስተናጋጇን:: እህትዓለም ሌላ ወንበር ይዛ መታ "ይኸው ጠረጴዛ አርጉት" ማለት...እነ እናት ቅውስ🤭 ከዛ ተነስተው ለመውጣት ሲሉ እኔም መከተል...I didn’t miss the look on all of the waitresses faces “ተያቸው ባክሽ" said one of them with an attitude ready to throw hands. We probably would have stayed if they said “ሰው ትንሽ በዝቶ ነው ታገሱን" instead በነፃ የምንገለገል ይመስል እሪ...እኛስ ሌላ ቤት ሄድን...የቀረባቸው እነሱ:: ቦታ ይውለዱ አይደለም...አልተመቸንም ኣ? Let us leave in peace, it doesn’t have to get personal. እውነት እኔ አስተናጋጅ እንደምፈራ ደህና የሚፈራ ነገር ብፈራ...ምናልባት ስራውን ሳይወዱት ለእንጀራ ያህል ይሆናል የሚሰሩት...እኛ ሀገር ሁሉም ስራ ክቡር ነው ይባላል እንጂ not really. ግን ምንም ነገር will excuse a shitty customer service. ብቻ እንዲሁ ግርም ብሎኝ አመሸሁ እላችኋለሁ :)

‘All my friends are wasted And I hate this club Man, I drink too much Another Friday night I wasted’ As much as I believe everyone should know better for their own sake and take accountability for their actions, for the reason I’m yet to find I ache for what’s becoming of mine and my younger generation. Detached from home, religion, love and someone to guide. You soak yourself in escapes only to lose your way out of those escapes. All the chaos in their homes we don’t understand, the “I wish I became this” battles they go through with themselves, the little child in them needing to be taken care of and understood. I’m speaking of the exceptions, not the spoiled immatures who have no discipline and sense of self attached to them.

እግረኛ መሆን ግን ከባድ ነው በስማም...ግፍያ (it doesn’t help your case if you’re short like me) ከዛ ሰልፍ ከዛ ደግሞ የተቀየረ ታክሲ ተራ ፍለጋ መንቀዋለል ከዛ ድካም...ሆ ቤቴ ምን አለኝ?!

‘Absence’ I get a little torn apart from staring at the couch near the door of our living room, you loved sitting there I never asked why Three or five or many times I think, I went into your room and asked what you wanted for breakfast, the bed was made and instead of your morning conversations with God I’m embraced by a cold deafening silence I take my earphones out for embarrassing amounts of the day thinking you called out for me, I’ve stopped screaming “weye” though maybe that’s one step of moving on But I still leave half a milk in the fridge because you might ask for it later I picture what you would have looked like on my graduation day and punish myself even more for living my life as if you never left No matter how warm of a color the lights are, it’s still cold and dark Almost as if the ceilings and walls are grieving for the person who made a home out of them.

ይስሀቅ መዘግየቱ ለደስታ እና ለሳቅ ነው!

As much as I dread too much interactions and people I’ll never take ጉርብትና and our genuine culture of being concerned with each other’s lives for granted.

መርሳት መቻላችን አይገርምም??

እንደው በፍፁም ሊገባኝ ያልተቻለው ነገር ቢኖር is the idea of marriage proposals. የእውነት I’m not even trying to be salty and negative lol. I genuinely don’t understand it. And this is a cry for someone to make me get the whole point. When people reach that level of needing to propose to someone and being proposed to, there’s at least two or more years of being in a committed relationship አይደል? መቼም ይህን ሁሉ ዓመት ብቻቸውን "ወደፊት ሳገባ" እያሉ ነው የሚያወሩት አትሉኝም...it’s likely and even must be “ስንጋባ" right? የቤታቸውን interior design, የአንሶላ እና መጋረጃ color, the pets they want to have, names for their kids, the date and place for the wedding, መርጠው ከጨረሱ በሗላ propose ሲያደርግ (why does he do it in the first place?😭 የፈጠነ ሽማግሌ ለምንድነው የማይልከው? ከተስማሙ? እሱንም in the modern world ድሮ እኮ ምፅ ተዉት እሱን) የእሷ ኡኡ ማለት...I mean babes I understand in this scary day of being betrayed and cheated on, him kneeling down and asking you to be his companion for the rest of his life could get you like that. But it’s not a surprise no? You knew you were marrying that man. ነው it don’t work like that?😭 ከዛ ለ aesthetics ነው ሽማግሌ የሚላከው? The proposal ከሆነ እሺ ካልሆነ ደግሞ the ሽማግሌs...ሁለት contradicting situation. አላቅላችሁም ለማንኛውም አልገብቶኝም:: I’m open for any ጤነኛ and convincing theories :)
