My heart aches for the adults I see around me.
Holding to their only hope that is God and doing their best to survive. Because you can see “I wish I could have been this but my time is up” written all over their wrinkles and slumped shoulders. Just sitting and admiring the success and wins of their friends, with a genuine heart even.

As much as I feel for them, it’s a painful truth that I don’t want to end my days like them.

በመከኑ ሕልሞች ፣ ሠርቷት ሙዚቀኛው
ምኞት ነው ቅኝቷ ፣ ሕይወቴ ባብዛኛው

Addiction is so gruesome. It feeds on your life however it desires. What is worse is watching it feed on the life of your loved ones and children and them suffering because of it.

እቃን ደሞ ሲከፋፍሉት ፥ ቋሚና አላቂ እንደሚሉት ታውቃላችሁ? አላቂነቴን እፈራዋለሁ...

"በህብረት የብሶት መድረክ ልንከፍት ነው ወይ?" እንዳትሉኝ እንጂ this is your reminder that you got a friend in me. Whatever you want to talk about or if you wanna have a venting session with a stranger I am here. @Chesed_29

A woman was explaining on tiktok that its possible to love each heart like your first love and that the only difference is each time you will find a better way to refine your heart before giving it to someone and i believe there is some truth to it.

"Candles,by design,burn and
Life,by design,ends
In the mean time doesn't it smell nice?"

When those days come that feel like የሚያልፍ የማይመስሉ and everything suffocates you even the most minor thought I hope ትንንሽ የሚባሉ ግን soothing የሆኑ encounters like a kind gesture or a smile from a stranger come your way to calm your heart and remind you that these days are passing too.

ቀን ቆጥረን አዲስ አመት ልንይዝ መሆናችንን ሳስበው ይደንቀኛል......እንዴት እንዳሳለፍኩት ሳስብ ደግሞ "የት ነበረኩ?" ያስብላል as I look back on everything. "Is it worth it?" የሚል ጥያቄ ጭንቅላቴ ላይ የመጣ አይመስልም on how I betrayed myself on most of the decisions I made. I amnot yet ready to unpack it all fully ግን just this simple realization didnot go well.

የመጣው የሄደው ሰው ሁሉ ልባችሁን አያውርደው.....Guard your heart!

The notion of things fleeting and passing like nothing is so fascinating to me. An inferno that robbed you off your peace and tortured you as if your skin was being peeled off, now just gone and there’s nothing but memories left. The same truth for happy days too.

It sounds Odd but I remembered a certain food we used to eat ድሮ እኛ ቤት and was nostalgic about those days. Though they were painful in a way(those days and as a family ያለፍንባቸው ነገሮች) some part of me longed for it because አሁን ላይ ቆሜ ሳየው ያጣናቸው ግን at that time በማይሆን ነገር ላይ አእምሮዬ ተይዞ for granted የወሰድኳቸው ነገሮች ስለነበሩን.....

I can't stop to wonder what part of the life I have today that I have not found worth in and have let it get clouded by the gloomy part. ሁሉም ነገር price tag እና expiration date ኖሮት ቢመጣ መልካም ነበር.....ዘወትር በትናንት አለማስተዋላችን ከመሰቃየት ቢያድነን....
