A lot is happening in the world today, but a cute nail is top tier. It is intriguing how two completely different realities can exist within the exact same space. I try to find the words to describe it, but I am coming up empty. In plain English, I lack words. Some people are happy; …
The one about Kunun geda
As I dished out the remains of the delicious Kunun geda I prepared yesterday, it struck me how I had not made it before. I had eaten it a few times when I lived back home with my parents. My dad liked it, so it was one of those meals he had the ‘experts’ make …

Have you tried to get something done over and over again and you still failed at it? That feeling of frustration… Arrrgh! Yeah, that’s how I feel right now. My whole wardrobe collapsed. Real first world problems. I left it untouched for a few days, but it’s the weekend, so I decided today to deal …
The one where Suarez cried
Erm, I want to be one of those annoying people that try to point out lessons in everything. How else would we make any progress or do better if we never reflect? You are free to stop reading now if you don’t like getting deep. Don’t worry I won’t know, but I know you will …

Even the smallest decisions have the ability/capacity to change the course of our lives Truthfully, I am always scared of making wrong decisions, so I find myself stalling sometimes.
