Just Exist

I made it!!! 

One of the best advice I received was to find a place to just exist. The advice was being given to College/ Rising College students. The lady advised that YOU should find a place where you don't have to fit in. Just exist. Whether that's an all women's college or HBCU find a place where you don't have to worry about fitting in. So you can concentrate on what's more important, which in this case is school/ one's education. 

That said, it feels great to be home, in a country where majority look like me and speak the same language. But needless to say I found a place to fit in without trying. I look forward to the lessons I'm about to learn and can't wait for my personal growth. I hope part of that growth is through attending school here. I came here for change and change I hope to get. 

Thank you again to all those who continue to encourage and support me on my journey. Much Love and appreciation. 


P.S. Will post pictures soon!!!

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...
