Last Saturday, the Ethiopian Cursor Community hosted Café Cursor in Hawassa.

We spent the day connecting with local developers, playing games, competing in different challenges, and sharing projects. The competitions also came with prizes for the winners, adding a fun side to the event.

More than anything, it was a good opportunity to meet new people, exchange ideas, and spend time with others who are interested in building with technology.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the event. We appreciate the Hawassa community for the warm welcome and the great energy throughout the day.

Looking forward to bringing more Café Cursor events to different cities across Ethiopia. 💙

Why does someone else’s good news sometimes make me feel terrible about myself when they literally did nothing wrong?....People buy new things, travel or hit milestones and somehow my brain makes it entirely about me......Their win isn't an attack on my life, but my insecurities love to weaponize other peoples joy as "proof" that I am somehow lacking or falling behind.....We blame social media for being toxic, but a screen can only highlight what is already hurting underneath.

​Instead of asking "why isn't it me?".....the real question should be “what unhealed part of me is feeling threatened right now?”.....Is it jealousy because I secretly desire what they have while pretending I don't?....Is seeing them celebrated just exposing my own craving to be seen?.....Someone else winning is not my failure and their light doesn't dim mine....Maybe instead of blaming the algorithm for showing highlights, we need to ask what unaddressed truth in ourselves is making us feel so small.
