Q: Hey Debbie, Writing this is even kinda a challenge anxiety thing but anyhow Please keep up writing they are beautiful 😊 and can you please suggest your favourite telegram channels A: ልታጣሉኝ ነው?😅 @BoredTherapist 🖤 @yonis_home this man can write!!! @as_hannah_thinks forever a fan of how her brain works. @Wondersoul I just love everything about this channel. And I would love it if you guys would suggest channels of resembling contents :)

Q: What made u create this channel A: Some Monday afternoon and what I thought was a foolish desire to create a safe space, apparently it’s not and it’s paying off in so many ways I can’t even imagine. Egziabher yimesgen, so grateful for each of you🖤

Q: What has been the biggest change you ever made that made you the most proud of yourself? A: I understood that kindness doesn’t mean you should allow people to walk all over you. I felt the most proud of myself when I overcame my victimized mindsets like this one and stood up to whoever was using my kindness against me😊

Q: What are your favourite book and movie? A: Fave book is እጣፈንታ I don’t know who wrote it because I found it in our store room and the covers were ripped, tried googling it but it happened to be a translated one so :( And movie, the breakfast club and blue valentine.

Q: Can u confidently say u have found ur right place in life? A: what is the right place? If it’s in a sense “are you where you want to be?” No, I’ve made some accomplishments that I’m proud of but not yet.

Q: Who is ur role model Debbie? A: I don’t have one? There are people I applaud and look up to but I don’t have a certain someone that changed my perspective in life or pushed me into being who I am.

Q: Hey Debbie….how do you move on from things? A: I used to not try because some part of me hoped for a miracle. But now knowing that not everyone is meant to finish this journey with me I’ve made peace with the fact that I should let things slip off from me. But I’ve made peace with it doesn’t mean it’s not hard, it’s hard. Very! I sit with the truth, forgive myself and forgive them, pray for a strength to move one step ahead, cut off whatever ties me to that situation or person. And sometimes you yourself get in between your moving on and holding on, be cautious with that.

Q: Debbie could u tell us ur favorite single and album from TØP?? A: Blurry face will forever be goated and ofc level of concern is my fave single.

Q: Do u think life is all about chance? A: Definitely not, I have a lot to say about this so I’ll write about it?😊

Q: I love u.....Do u love me???😔 A: this some tiktok trend I missed out on...or?

Q: How old are you? A: Somewhere between still a kid and an adult.

Q: Hey, Do u think love is a skill? A: Not holistically but yes. It isn’t just some pull or wave of emotions they tell you it is.

Done with my major exams lol ask away let’s catch up @DebbieTesfaye :)

Don’t let the bad experiences you’ve had hold you back from experiencing the good moments you deserve. ሳቁ ተጫወቱ ቦርቁ Make silly jokes, enjoy the company of your friends and the people around you. ጊዜ ስጧቸው they’ll teach you a lot. It could be a good lesson or a painful one. We’re social animals ብቸኝነት አያዛልቅም😊 በነገራችን ላይ መልካም ያልሆኑ ሰዎች ገጥመውን ካላስፈላጊ ወዳጅነት ብቸኝነት ይደላ መስሎ ተሰማን እንጂ it’s not even that comfortable. ብዙ የሚጎረብጥ ነገር አለው:: ሌላው Go and do what you want to do and what makes you happy. "ሰው ምን ይለኛል?" ደስ ያላቸውን ይበሉ...ወሬ እንደሆን ልማድ ነው:: "ባበላሸውስ?" በደንብ ይበላሽ...ከተበላሸ ወዲህ እና ብዙ ወጣ ገባዎችን ካለፈ በሗላ ያምረበታል...ለጊዜ ጊዜ መስጠትን ልመዱ:: "ብዙ ነገር ያስፈልገኛል and I don’t have the capacity to afford any of it” የቱ ሰው ከትልቅ ተነሳ? Use whatever is in your hands...ምንም ይሁን ምን:: ፈገግ የምታሰኘኝ ምክንያት ደግሞ "ብዙ ችግር ባላሳልፍ ኖሮ እኮ የት እደርስ ነበር...ስለተጎዳሁ ነው እንጂ እንደ ሌላው ሰው ብሆንማ ይሄኔ ስንቱን አሳክቼው ነበር" ያሳለፋችሁት ህመም እና ችግር ለስንፍናችሁ ምክንያት አይሆንም:: እንደ ሌላው ብሆን የምትሉት ሁሉ አደባባይ አውጥቶ የማያወራው ህመም አለበት:: You’re not special. በተረፈ እያንቀላፋን እና አየሰነፍን ውጤትን መጠበቅ ቂልነት ነው...ዛሬያችሁን ጠበቅ...ጉብዝናችሁን እንቅ...እሺ?

Do tell, how was it like before the grief? Before the constant banters and burn outs for validation? When was the last “I love you” uttered? The last warm embrace? When did it start feeling like a lonely cave? When?

እንኳን አደረሳችሁ🤗
