የውስጣችሁ የአየር ጠባይ እንዴት ነው??!

Everyone tells me the weather in Toyama sucks and I can’t help but think how the weather inside the house(the relationship with people in our lives) and the weather inside our heads((the relationship with ourselves) is so much important. I don’t give a damn if the it’s rainy or snowy outside.

I heard this from Ryan Holiday.
Ryan asked a friend of his, “Are you a cold weather guy or a hot weather guy?”
And I love what his friend responded with. He said, “I’m a “dress for the weather” guy.

Besides, look at this beauty? Can we start calling this, “Winter Sakura”?🙋🏾‍♀️

በ2026 socialmedia ላይ LIVE ካልገባው በስተቀር ለመፖሰትም ይሁን የሰዎችን ፖስት ለመቃረም ለራሴ የምፈቅድለት የሰዐት ገደብ በኢትዮጵያ ከጠዋቱ ከ5-6 ሰዐት ብቻ መሆኑን እንዲታወቅልኝ እወዳለው and I am doing this because I want all of you to hold me accountable…ከዚህ ሰዐት ውጪ በእያንዳንዷ social media ላይ በተገኘሁበት ጊዜ በገዛ ፍቃዴ እዚ post ላይ “1000” ብሎ comment ለፃፈ/ች 1 ሰው “1000”ብር እልካለው🙆🏽‍♀️(maybe the one with the most likes?)

Duration ሳይቀየር የሰዐት ለውጥ ካስፈለገ አሳውቃለው
ከፎረሽኩም I have to announce it every single time😅(this is gonna be fun)
ግን messaging apps(telegram, whatsapp, messenger ምናምን and also YouTubeዬ🤭አይቆጠርም እሺ)

እንዴ I gave up on “Will” thing!!! ትኩረት ውድ ሸቀጥ ሆኖ የለ! Fighting against world giant companies investing 20-50 billions of dollars a year to attention engineering departments and then expecting a “win”? ወገን…በምን አቅሜ?

The companies optimize for (based on chatgpt)
• Time on app
• Return frequency (daily habits)
• Watch time per session
• Emotional arousal (outrage, desire, fear, validation)
• Ad conversion likelihood

እንደጠረጠርኩት የኔ productivity, Creativity, ደስታ, ሰላም እዛ list ውስጥ የሉበትም! ሆ ጎመን በጤና!

በ2026 በsocialmedia intentional የመሆን እቅድ ካላችሁ and you need public accountability, repost this post mentioning your specific time(both duration and time important), and penalty in your caption and let’s start this journey together.✌🏽

ስንቴ እፎርሽ ይሆን? ስንት ሰው 1000 ብር ይላክለት ይሆን? ማየት ነው እንግዲ💁🏽‍♀️

I know ኢትዮጵያ ላላችሁ ወገኖቼ it’s a random Thursday but still መልካም አዲስ አመት😁🥳

Do researches show that “the more educated a woman becomes, the more arrogantly she will behave”? (because someone argued this in the comments in my previous post on LinkedIn)

I appreciate evidence based discussion but such researches are often based on societal perceptions rather than objective facts because even if both educated men and women react the same way to a similar situation, an assertive woman is more likely to be perceived as “arrogant” while for men, society accepts it as just normal or appropriate. In other words, “double standards”

Besides, the way society responds to educated women might also be filled with doubts demanding her to always be proving herself…which might bring out natural defensive out of fatigue. Not because she is a woman but because she is a human who is invalidated and misunderstood.

Also an educated woman is more likely to carve her own path despite the public pushing her to a typical path which isn’t always appreciated.

Of course, Change always comes with resistance. Obviously! And I guess the resistance sometimes looks like labeling the ‘new identity” as arrogance 🤷🏽‍♀️

Another የመደናበር story

በቀደም የሆነ ቦታ ደርሼ ስመለስ ወደ ዶርሜ የምትመልሰኝን 16 ቁጥር ባስ እየጠበኩ ሳያት ዘው ብዬ መግባት! ከእዛ ዶርሜ እስከምደርስ ስልኬን እየነካካው አንድ ባንድ ሁሉም ተሳፋሪ ወርዷል ለካ እኔ አላስተዋልኩላችሁም! ሹፌሯ ዞር ብላ የመጨረሻው ነው ማለት! What?! ዞር ብዬ ሳይላችሁ ዶርም እሄዳለው ያልኩት ልጅ ራሴን የከተማው መሀል ባቡር ጣቢያ አገኘሁት።

ወየው! ማመን ነው ያቃተኝ! ሰዐቴን ሳይ ከምሽቱ 2 ሰዐት አካባቢ ነው እንባዬ ነው የመጣው! ሹፌሯ ተሳስተሽ ከሆነ አትክፈይኝ ብላ አላስከፈለችኝም። Bless her!

This is a picture I took on that day infront of the train station as a reminder of this chaos. በውስጤ ላለቅስ ጫፍ ላይ ደርሼ ነበር ግን ቢያንስ በሁኔታው ልሳቅበት ብዬ ራሴን ለማባበል እየሞከርኩ ነበር::

Check ሳደርግ ወደዶርም የሚመልሰኝ ባስ የቀኑ የመጨረሻው 2:45 ላይ ይነሳል! እሱ ካመለጠኝ መንገድ ላይ ማደሬ ነው። 30 ደቂቃ(የሆነ ሰው ደይቃ አይደለም ደቂቃ ነው ብሎኛል) ምናምን ጠብቄ በሰላም ወደ ዶርሜ ገባሁላችሁ። ግን መንገዱን ሳልሳሳት፣ የባስ ቁጥሩን ሳልሳሳት ለምን መሄድ የምፈልገው ተቃራኒ ቦታ ላይ end up አደረኩኝ?

Turns out መቆም ከነበረብኝ አስፋልቱን ተሻግሬ አቅጣጫውን ነው የሳትኩት! መንገዱ ተሳስቱ አይደለም። ሁለቱም 16 ቁጥር ባስ ግን The direction was wrong! And i thought about this incident and the metaphor was ተመሳሳይ መንገድ መርጠን ተቃራኒ መቅጣጫ ሊወስደን ይችላል። “የትኛው መንገድ ላይ ነኝ?” ብቻ ሳይሆን “ወዴት ነው እየሄድኩ ያለሁት” ብሎ መጠየቅ ጥሩ ነው። መንገዱ አድራሽ እንጂ መዳረሻ አይደለም። መንገዱንም አቅጣጫውንም መዳረሻውንም ልብ ማለት ይበጃል።

(I posted this picture with another unrelated caption and someone asked me “ፎቶው ከዚ ጋር ምን አገናኘው?”😂 and I responded “አይገናኝም” but i guess this time ተገናኝቷል🤣🤣

መልካም ቀን!
