[🌨Seasons🌨]


When people ask me how it feels to wear glasses since young age on daily bases, I always smile and say the world looks so much different behind the glasses. There is an art in looking past the lenses and yet through them.

But it is not always as fun to wear them. Putting on facemask with your glasses for good part of your days is pure struggle. And It gets worse on misty mornings.


My breathes escape the facemask and haze my glasses. My legs decide to function without consulting my eyes, hi-five-ing the gravels and tiny rocks standing on their way clumsily.

Even if I have to pause every now and then to wipe off the fog from the lenses in the misty morning rash hours, I will do it anyway. Cause my eyes need 'em lenses so bad and this is what you do to keep going forward.

And I remind myself this when my emotions cloud my judgment. Something which happens very often by the way. I try to pause and wipe out the thick fog before it starts raining..
But sometimes it rains anyway and it rains heavy. And I call that "The Winter of the soul".

Good thing Winter is a season. And like any season...
this too, shall pass!

You only can control what's controllable you know?

Having plans for the next day, next month or next year is one of the things my brain likes to obsess over. Though I might not end up bringing those plans to life.
I'm not just talking about huge plans here but also the tiniest steps. Believe me I know it isn't healthy but it comes with some fruits. I've learnt no matter how much I want my next step to be figured out, it doesn't always go that way.
There are days where confusion, being lost and feeling helpless are very much needed. I said what I said!

When things go as the way you planned them to or how you want them to, there's that egoistic inner you that surfaces barking
"I can control life and everything around me" the audacity.

Confusion, being lost and feeling helpless will do such a great job to teach your egoistic inner self that not everything can be controlled.

You're anything but figured out so it's okay to not know what your next step is alright? Control what you can control😊

Yeah I go through my head when I have a few hours to rest, this is pretty much what was in there.

Have a good day✨🤍💜

As you stare at Africa made out of words, words that represent who we are, words that represent who we could be, words that represent the best of us, words that are Chaotic, Diverse and Eclectic... May it remind you the Beauty of our Diversity and the Power of our Unity. May we dream big, May we strive for oneness, May we share joy togther, May we feel empathy & stand for our people bleeding in their own land. On the very land our ancestors died to defend, May አድዋ be the token that lights our way forward, May our history shine a ray towards our future, May we be reminded the value of Love, Respect, Work & Unity.

For we are Ethiopians, For we are Africans, For we are One.

Dear (last year's) 12th graders here. 😊

We know we haven't been there for you at the right time. We know we haven't been a real family for you. We know we never gave you those encouraging words before it's too late. We know all that and more. And we apologize for it all. 🙏😔

We can feel the mental condition that you're in right now. We can imagine the pressure. We know it's overwhelming and seems out of control. 😪🤦‍♂️

But we also know something else. We know you got God. We know you can do it. We also know the State won't make it too hard on you. We know you are strong and active. We know you have a bright mind and big hope. 🤗❤

And we can do something for you. We will pray for you. As our neck is bent and our knees are bowed down to our KING we will mention your names and fight for you. We will stand by your side. For the coming week take care of your mental condition more than anything else. For you won't even do what you can do if you ain't fit mentally. Don't forget to eat chocolates everyday. ❤🍫

May God be by your side. May the Almighty help you get through.🙏🙏

The Bored Family loves you.❤❤

Praying for everyone taking the exam next week, you got this and God's got you✨🤍✨

Maybe you've lost someone dear to you so you'd know when I say grief is the hardest emotion to ever go through. It dispatches you from reality, breaks your heart over and over again, sneaks behind your back and choke you.
The guilt while grieving is like a blanket of darkness that swallows you alive. That little hope in your heart praying for them to come back by any means of miracle is unending torture.
Having the thought and excitement to tell them something but being greeted with the reality of their nonexistence feels like a million daggers to the heart.

I've read somewhere "Grief, is really just love. A love you want to give but cannot, all of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your heart and the hollow part of your chest. Grief is really just love with no place to go" and do I bawl my eyes out every time I read it in my head because it holds too much truth in it.

I wonder if I will ever have the strength to move on or forgive myself. Because grief really is a love with no place to go!

"When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy."
Psalms 94:19

For all of my 12th grade family taking the national exam tomorrow may the Lord help you and guide you. Breathe in and do what you can, it's not the end of the world. You got this✨🤍✨

Good Luck😊

So just found out it was March 8 lol, um Happy International Women's Day🤍

I just love how God goes "No baby you can't do this on your own, imma take the lead now"

Yeah i know we're weak but I also think we underestimate the strength God gave us.

"Hey debbs how are you? How you holding up?" were the questions I loathed for the past couple of years while I should have been thrilled that people actually "do care" about my wellbeing but no! those questions made my insides turn into turmoil. Whenever I was asked if I was okay I had to actually think about if I really was okay and boy life wasn't it!

I went through so many emotions all at once and had so many obstacles to handle, the list is too much. I did not for a second think that I could pass those days and be here. Not wanting to give myself the little bit of hope that someday things may get better cause people bled my ears with that line "Hey it gets better hang in there." I mean thank you for trying to comfort me but it doesn't get better trust me when I say it gets worse. You just manage to be strong through whatever will be thrown at you and that's the prominent part of it all.

I underestimated the strength God gave me to face whatever I had to face, when I sit here and think of it maybe I could have handled things better If I believed in me. But the past is in the past so hey believe that you'll get through this and believe in you.

Have a good day🤍💜

The very first poem I wrote was entitled "ሰው" I don't think I had a specific reason for it, because I was 11 lol. It had a single stanza and four lines.
Now having uncountable pieces, untitled scribbles, scattered notebooks and so many poems in heart made me realize how simple dreams become true yet they get lived as if they were never a dream.
Don't take your dreams for granted when they're spoken into existence.
