Beginning


In December of 2016, I decided to leave my job and start doing the things I said I've wanted to do. My list was getting long and I wasn't getting any younger. Flashback to 2014 when I made it a goal of mine to get over my stage fright by getting on stage. After multiple speech and theater classes I was still uncomfortable speaking in front of a large crowed. I had told my boyfriend at the time that I wanted to audition for a role in a play (was thinking to be an extra) or not get the role at all so I can say "at least I tried."  I got the opportunity, at the very end of the year for a show that would go up in March of 2015. Getting a part in the play Her: The New Kween lead to my domino effect of fearless decisions.

This too shall pass

Today I began my day by taking a ride to work, the driver had on the radio and a zen kind of music was playing. With the news of all that is going on in Ethiopia with Gofa and the exchange rate, folks are stressed out to the point I find it difficult to breathe. So I appreciated a moment to sit in what felt like silence. And of course, as I point this out, most of you will say then why don't you move back to the United States?  And, as hard as it is to be optimistic and have hope in moments like this I remind myself "This too shall pass." That there's a much larger picture to look at. Something I'm not so sure of myself but my gut tells me to wait a little. When I first moved here I was told don't ask why. To just live. "ሰው እንደሆነው ሆነሽ ትኖሪያለሽ።" As much as that has been the theme of my life, I find that I have been moving far and far away from making the small differences that I can in the moments that God has provided me with. I feel like a crazy pers...

TBH

Moment of honesty...  I think I stopped blogging partly because I don't have time anymore. But mainly because my life wasn't fun anymore.  And although a little bit of seriousness is needed in order to live an adult life, I think I've lost myself in the process. I'm back to being a floating object. Not sure what the next goal is.  I miss the days of us being in grade school where we knew what was next, pass the test move on to the next grade keep doing that until college. Then you choose your "path" graduate. Than float.  When I grow up I want to be happy, but I also want a family and live a proactive and productive life. Chasing money doesn't make me happy, that's one thing I've learned so far. But I also don't want to let my future me down.  She deserves to live a life full of everything she wants and needs.  I'm at another turning point in my life not sure which way to go. I'm not sure if back to the Sta...
