Liya’s Captured Words

Here is the thing with Mondays: they can start off great, but we see too many GIFs with tired faces. So let us start with gratitude. Let us be present, off our phones just enough to focus on what truly matters, and may we have the wisdom to recognize what that is. Wishing you a blessed, healthy week. It is always something to celebrate, just making it to another day. 🌿

Kindly ignore how I look, but it really meant a lot to be in a space like Toastmasters again. The focused energy and community discipline unlock something within you.

We are back! 🔥

I've slept on floors in prayers I've tasted soil in prostration I've washed myself in hopes for better But your language haunts my ears It's aggression I hear Not culture It's difference I hear Not values I am not racist But I have been done wrong I've heard those stories And lived mine within walls I am not racist But you scare me in that language

Am I the only one with the urge to pull our their PC's in taxis or buses ...hehe

hey guys ❤️📖 after around 6 months of writing, The Ledger of Names is finally being released this book means a lot to me, and i'm genuinely proud to share it with you all. about the book: a story spanning five centuries, exploring power, injustice, and the weight of history. generations rise and fall, truths are buried, and voices are forgotten. it's about the names history remembers and the lives it leaves behind. sometimes, the greatest tragedy isn't what history remembers, but what it chooses to forget. 🥀 hope you enjoy reading it. i'd love to hear your thoughts! 🤍 Link - https://t.me/xebeclabs/399

The Toastmasters effect had me walking around a cafe proudly asking for a Type C cable. I realized I had the same intentionality as some of the Toastmasters when I kept insisting that a charger could be a cable. I am smiling to keep you engaged, and eye contact matters. 😂😂 Honestly, I enjoyed my time at the Jupiter Toastmasters Club, and it is very natural to join Toastmasters after years at Rotaract. If God wills it, I would like to see my path grow there! Welcome to all, and it supports everyone. Every two weeks on Sundays at Jupiter Hotel at Bole at 3 PM :)

Jupiter Toastmasters, thank you! @JupiterToastmasters

The second cup of coffee is not working :) Someone asked me where I see myself in 5 to 10 years today. First of all, thank you, God, for just the possibility of having that, but I've come to learn it is great to have goals, but the goal should also be you: stronger, braver, more honest, strong in your values, and justly even more loving and grateful. There is enough shit in reality, so be a bigger shit about your problems.😅

T'was our morning. You guys....our siblings. Omg that is a lot to be grateful for. We get to be theirs forever. From the same wound and spoon. I can't help but tell my babies( my brothers) that I am just grateful and I am the luckiest young gal :) Egzer yimesgen

Confess your secrets, not to the bathroom mirror tell the Lord and Lady of your heart: "I am at fault, I am a sinner." But Mother, where do I fall having so little? She blessed and blesses Her Son whom you fear, but love somehow makes you closer to Him. Drenched in sweat, an effort made to hide I am naked, but red and sore, unlike Eve and I already know I am in the wrong So I confess my secrets with multiple hearts, and not just one. This is hard, my Holy Mother. And again I ask not for guidance, but to take over the road, and may a sinner like me touch your steps again.

Yellow: it’s going to be a sunny Sunday. Slowly, you start your day so you can know there is little need to rush, little need for what you do not have yet. Time is a shelf you have to reach in steps: slow and steady, the closer it gets. It is not a race, but a lesson in grades. 😁😁

October 17 :)

Getting my nails done is not just... I know this can be an unnecessary expense sometimes, but I am the girl who always fidgets and keeps her hands busy. My hands were, and sometimes still are, never relaxed. And I did believe they looked too much like a man's hands. These are my nails, made a little pretty. I spent 40 minutes in that salon taking calls and semi-attending a class because I gave importance to how I feel when I look at them. This is not cosmetics, but something that seems little yet is an important habit to say you can take the time to look pretty. You can take the time to relax. And maybe next time, there will be no PC or online class I join from there.

A very important lesson: it is completely okay to raise your tone during a disagreement. There is a line between being respectful and being rude, but at the end of the day, you are the only one responsible for your own boundaries.
