Our Side of the Story

Don’t seek happiness. If you seek it you won’t find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness. Happiness is ever elusive, but freedom from unhappiness is attainable now, by facing what is rather than making up stories about it. Unhappiness covers up your natural state of well being and inner peace, the source of true happiness.

Empathy is good እሺ? Too much Naivety ነው ጠላት.

“የሚበላ አንጀት የለኝም" perhaps an equivalent phrase for I’m numb, and unable to process empathy of any sort?

Maybe this is me reading too deep between moments but on somedays, some hugs feel different than they usually do?

I’ve definitely said, “go ask for help, don’t carry your pain alone, there’s always someone willing to listen” countless times. Perhaps this is me contradicting my own words. Somewhere along the line of being taught hard lessons with struggles you didn’t ask for, you pick up a few things. Bitter truths, the harshness of reality and the different shades of humankind. By the time you feel weakened and in need of some words to lift you up, nothing will suffice. You’ve read every poetry, maybe wrote some, gave and received advices, sat through so many intense conversations, and did whatever growth/maturity asks from you. Something inside of me dies when I see people trying to make sense of my burdens which by the way I don’t even understand, I just carry them because I’m supposed to. A sudden realization, I might despise advices or maybe the misuse of them. Carry this truth with you, it’s okay if people don’t know any better than you do. We’re all trying to fit in a place where we don’t belong, but regardless we keep trying.

Whenever I think of abandonment issues Aster Aweke’s Kulun comes to my mind, and I can’t say how much I love this depiction of it.

Trust and abandonment issues?

Good morning!

Lately, I’ve been having sudden urges to give free hugs to everyone and I’m not even a hug person. What’s this level of empathy?

ይሉኝታ ain’t the way, say what you have to say and deal with those uncomfortable conversations.

እዚህ ቤት👀 Not a fan of promises but here to make a promise that’s not supposed to be taken as one, I’ll be active from the next few days on.

Someone asked that I upload these here, ስለጠፋሁ ይቅር በሉኝ :)

Money doesn’t buy happiness እያልነ ባንሰንፍ ደግ አይመስላችሁም?

Don’t go out there tarnishing your name and dignity in the name of approval.

Just another day people being human and driving the empath out of me💜
