Just what level of mental state was I in to read የጭን ቁስል at the age of 13?

!

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🤍

People who join psychology to save themselves. Seriously, the field is nothing but some theories and guidances that could assist you if you ever want to push further into clinical psychology or become a therapist (you know to actually help mentally challenged people) but I’m a hundred percent sure that it doesn’t have the answers to your problems nor does it tell you how to fix yourself.

ተረት ተረት (እኔ ሞትን አልፈራም) I remember ያኔ, the skies were heavy with tomorrow's tears, and I spoke in hymns and felt the world stand still ቀጥ በቃ It was an ugly day ደሞ, a day of epiphany, remembrance, the day I broke my eye's seal ወድጄ ሳይሆን ተገድጄ ወዶ አይኑን የሚገልጥ የለም, I would rather have stayed blind እውነት, ግን እድሜ ለሷ, እድሜ ለወዳጄ በግድ አየሁ I remember, እግዚኦ, She just stood there and watched me drown እንደውም she helped the water reach my lungs too, she even pushed my struggling body down በግድ እንዳይ በገዛ አይኔ What cruelty is this? ደሞ እኮ, as if she would let me up ከልቤ መለመኔ እውነት, እኔ ሞትን አልፈራም, ከስንቱ ልብ ሞቻለሁ, ብርቄም አይደል. When it came to her ግን, እንጃ, ፍርሃት አይሉት ፈራሁ, ልመና አይሉት ለመንኩ እሷ ግን ጭካኔዋ, እንኳን ልትሰማኝ ይቅርና she just stood there, almost nonchalant እንደውም, to watch me suffer እውነት, እኔ ሞትን አልፈራም, የዛን ቀን ግን የነፍስ ነገር ሆኖብኝ, የግዴታ I learnt to breathe underwater. "እባክሽ, እባክሽ ታረቂኝ ተይ አታስጨንቂኝ" አዬ ካሣ ተሰማ...እኔም አንተም በሰው ልብ ላለመሞት ለማኝ ሆነን እንቅር? ኤድያ! Michael

The teacher raised a controversial question and I’m here praying in every language I can speak so I won’t get emotional and say things I’m not supposed to be saying in class. Anyways do you believe feminine role is strictly limited to the kitchen and baby fabrication or there’s more to it?

I have different homes, one is treasured more than the others, The place where friends turned into family. 2010.2014🖤
