My profile and business card still say I’m a Blogger. ድንቄም ብሎገር! Part I: Prayer After spending a long time giving God the silent treatment because He says He’s the father of all creation and then also goes and creates things like period cramps and heart break and death and all that other stuff that…

“Happiness comes from Solving Problems”
Three weeks since I last updated. I’m not sure to whom I’m apologizing but I feel like I should. So, I’m sorry. October’s calendar has started off crowded and I feel weird saying that because a lot of things I am doing are self-assigned. It’s called discipline. Your girl is trying to learn things. 😊…
Happy New Year: Resolutions
Beginning the New Year It’s Ethiopian New Year! እንኳን አደረሳችሁ!! I’ve never really been big on holidays. I call holidays Pajama days because no one really expects me to do anything except eat and binge watch stuff in my pajamas. I don’t even have to talk to anyone. I will still probably spend this one…
Your Art Means Nothing
We all love art. Or we claim to even though it means pretty much nothing to us. Or we can’t say we like it yet still find ourselves oddly drawn to it, to finding ways to explain it. I’m of the third type. I have in the past written an entry about how I thought…
Ode to Sheger
Since I moved back to Addis last year, I have found myself in the midst of people caught in between two worlds, people desperately trying to hold on to everything at once. Shegerians. I’d thought when I was in Mekelle that it wasn’t really my scene there. Shegerians were my kind of people because they don’t dwell on…

“Keep Holdin On…”
“I have a headache the size of Jupiter. I hate everything. And I don’t want to write this blog entry. Amen. Let’s begin. The Italians say something about the pleasure of not doing anything. I want them to riddle me the agony of not wanting to do anything. Sometimes I can’t get my legs to…
Pain, Choices and Lip Plates
During my first year of Uni, I went and got a nose piercing. One day my friend and I just up and went to the jewelers to get pierced. I told myself that this was a step to conquering one of my biggest crippling fears: needles. There was also a hidden pro to this that…
Heroes
I saw a movie about us the other day. There were worlds rising and collapsing, Lovers hid behind brave faces but everyone knew. There were heroes in it too. In our story we never say anything either… But if tomorrow the Earth shook and stairs gave away, if lights flickered and night came to sink…
The Jolly Ride through Subjective Truth and Objective Opinions
About a month ago, I guilted a friend of mine into watching እያዩ ፈንገስ ፌስታሌን with me. While watching the show, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I have never seen anything that made me feel like that ever in my life. It was honesty; it was comedy; it was tragedy. It was…

This entry contains SPOILERS for Dan Brown’s book Origin PART I When I received a ping from my news subscription ten mornings ago that smart man Stephen Hawking had died at the age of 76, I decided to play a small game with my Facebook feed called, “Which friend will share the most heartfelt soliloquy”…
