[📷"Simple but not easy"📷]
There are people with photographic memories
And there are people who have to learn to build a camera on their own,
And then master the the skill of developing films on top of being taught how to take pictures at right angles and light and sadly that is not all
They are then supposed to make sure the exact place they keep the pictures they take in their photo albums every now and then cause they may actually forget the details even after all they have done ...
I am the later kind of people
the photograph in marron colored wood frame
hanging in my living room wasn't an easy click
You may not see it
But it has my sweats and tears for a caption
It may look like a one lousy snap
but it is a whole kind of exhibition
.
.
.
To me, at least
Am just telling you this so next time people are kind enough to let you into their galleries remember to respect the process
Not every simple thing came easy
Not for everyone

[⚽️Better than Leo⚽️]
So,
I fall for you with out you fouling me
Dribbling past all my expectations
Assisting me in ups and downs
Standing firm in all the fight
Even in the dark, you help me see the light
In wins in losses,
You say we are team,
you lead with grace and you stand tall
And they are telling me that is the relationship goal
If that is the case, I got a lot to say
Both in sacrificial plays and in free kicks
You are decorated with hat ricks
Hats off to you
Winning Ballon d'or on daily bases
Seven times a week
That you make Lionel Messi look weak
Haaa how does that work?
You are Jesus' sheep, but you will always be my G.o.a.t
@as_hannah_thinks
[ ⛰🚶♀wanderer⛰🚶♀]
Will I make it? I doubt.
Will it make me?, that I am sure.
So this is the road I chose to walk,
With both doubtful and reassured heart.

Hey friday people
How ya'll been?
Here is a heartfelt piece

[The tell of two zeros]
We came to this world with nothing,
we started from zero...[0]
And when the time comes for us to leave this world behind,
We leave with nothing,
that is another zero...[0]
So whatever we call life is a dance between these two zeros
I have a question,
Why does the symbol for infinity looks a lot like two zeros performing duet ballet?
.
.
.
♾
Also on a very unrelated question column,
I miss you.
Well, that was more of a statement than a question
But I was thinking of those little infinite moments
@as_hannah_thinks
[Growth and development😂]
(#As_a_pediatrics_lecture_made_hannah_think)
I stumbled on the mile stones
Missed to notice the red flags
Heading to the danger zone
With a big social smile
(Didn't know what I was getting into)
Lost my parachute reflex somewhere on the road
Now am agreeing to everything they say with a nod
....like a one year old
Haaa
Yeah, am just scribbling
Don't know what I am writing
Speaking in jargons
Walking in wide gaits
Wohoo
Thought I was grown up
...........all autonomous
Heading to self destruction
Yet you intervened
...........all anonymous
Yeah you hear me
Make sense of my telegraphic speech
I know I can never get lost
In a place where you can't reach
Whooo
Like a dad caring for his toddler
You took me off the roller
Yeah, taking my hand with your hands...
now this is the good walk
This is the good walk
Yeah now am writing a letter to the world
How the prodigal child got saved
Ain't knowing how to put this
Don't even know if I make sense
Firming my pincers grasp
Traynna depict how HE closed the gap
Yeah this is my story
This is how HE found me
...it is a long one
Don't know if all the papers would suffice
But where my vertical stroke meets the horizontal one
is right where my story starts

[🔬Fear and microfear🔬]
(When microbiology gets in ur head😂😂)
No matter how expert you are
At identifying the world under the lens
No matter how good you are
At bringing the perfect focus at ease
Even if you consider the stains to be your friends
Even if you call all the microbs by their names
Although the eyepieces bow down to your gentleness
Although the stage clips smile at your presence
.
.
.
It is always hard when it comes to examining the thing that is going viral in your head,
sequestering your every single thought ,
becoming systemic
invading your heart and soul
.
.
.
You won't lift a finger to scrutinize it under your microscope
Not because it is a hard science
Not because it is a strange strain
Not because you don't have the skill
Not because you don't have the stain
.
.
.
You don't need an indicator to confirm
You don't need a super power lens to affirm
.
.
.
You are afraid of what you are gonna find
You are scared of what is going to be revealed
You already know what it is
You already know it's name.

[📚Spectrum of my 'knowledge'📚]
There are lots of things I don't know for sure
Like the last time I bought that book...it was supposed to tell us about the future with our "together"
And I flipped through the pages
From cover to cover
.
.
.
But no, we were not even on the same page!
Now I don't know whom to ask about it
Whose fault is this?
The author's or the publisher's?
Wait wait...was that even a fault?
Like I said, I don't know a lot of things.
@as_hannah_thinks
🗓
Hey little sis.
Just a quick reminder
You know that you are not supposed to literally get on my nerves every now and then and climb over each neurons to work your way in my head right?
Cause you know, you kinda reside there.
I kinda have always had you in my mind
For a long long time now
.
.

Probably, ever since I can remember

[ ኑሮ and ህይወት]
For most people,
The idea of having a home to go to at the end of the day
Is what makes cruel bosses, tiresome jobs, exhausting school work, or our daily dose of multifaceted challenges much endurable
We spend most part of days on the go, in the hussle
I don't think English does a good job exactly depicting this
but In Amharic we have a better fitting term for that
And It is called ኑሮ
That thing you look forward to
That thing that keeps you going
That thing that makes the ኑሮ bearable
The thing that you are utterly passionate about
That thing you come back to
That thing you treasure most
Be it your faith, your family,
your friends, your church, your country, the dream career you are building ...you name it
That...that is home
That is life... That is ህይወት
ኑሮ is momentary, it is more about the present
But ህይወት is much more than that
It is about the past, the present, and the future
Life is a lot more wholesome
ህይወት is what makes ኑሮ bearable
And ኑሮ is what makes ህይወት affordable
So about these...ኑሮ and ህይወት
balancing these two is what I call
"THE ART OF LIVING"
And as strange as this may sound,
I gotta say it
Don't let life get into the way of your ኑሮ
But most importantly
don't let your ኑሮ get into the way of your life
@as_hannah_thinks
[Melancholy]
You carry more than a lot on your shoulders
In the most literal sense
And I feel bad having it easy
I feel bad for having mundane worries and benign burdens
I feel bad about the extra hour I took napping after silencing my alarm this morning
Or the twenty five minutes I spent in my head the other day
Thinking insignificant things and doing nothing
I feel bad for not being as enthusiastic as you are about life
I feel bad I don't see what you see
I feel bad it ain't fair
I see you and I think of all the ways you could have been doing all the things I am doing and God knows how so much better
I feel like I am living on borrowed days from the people like you that deserves'em the most for the reasons I don't understand
And that gives me the chills
Sometimes I think this whole life thing is about the bigger picture we all play part in putting the pieces together
Now some people like you get to have a glimpse of that bigger picture for you are purer
And people like me, we are just walking around clueless
But I feel like we oughta do this right for your sake if not for ourselves
Cause it ain't fair that you don't get to see it through
But it is more unfair and immoral to waste our borrowed days
This sort of thoughts put me on my edges
So sometimes I may get lazy or tired
But even then, I will catch a ride on an Osprey's stick like the red-winged blackbird...
I won't stop, I promise to fly high
For as long as I can
Cause I don't want to mess the bigger picture you forsaw for not doing my part
I tell you,
I have got you on my mind
And I am working on making that a safe place

[What I mean by when I say you are my friend]
I have learnt friendship is not about hating being alone, as music is not about hating the weight of silence.
Thank you for teaching me that.
They say friendship is born somewhere between agreeing and understanding. So I am thinking that is how the whole thing began.
We sailed on friend-ship
Landed on sister-hood
And we built our twin-dom
What do I call you?
You are my friend.
You are my "free-end".
That end where I tell my most ridiculos thoughts, cry my heart out, laugh the life out of myself, talk about the things I love with all the passion in me, speak out my fears that shake me to my core, paint my perfect fairy tale future life...
That end where I can be myself without reservation, with no edits, raw, off guard ...me.
Real Me. Free.
You are that person.
That end.
My free-end.
My friend

[🤵Wound dressing🤵♂]
You are a sharp dresser
You have impeccable sense of fashion
You even dress your wounds in style
And still manage to look just as good
Now who can tell there lies a fresh cut covered in blood soaked bandaid right beneath the shiny strips of your classy watch, let alone guess if it was self inflicted injury?
Yes, we have noticed
Cause we too know how to pull these tricks
Hey buddy , let us heal together

[Things we don't say out loud]
(Dedicated to my good friend Mike, for all the good you are)
In this social media infliterated
emotion inflated world,
I believe brokness have been over poeticised
and scars have been over romanticised .
Why is it thought that
unless you have been broken or messed up in a way
You don't do enough growing up?
I mean like, shouldn't the fact that you have managed to avoid these circumstances even when they seemed almost inevitable say something about your stamina?
My friend once said "Some, if not most , of our so called 'scars' are just excuses for our own failures."
I couldn't say it any better and this is exactly why I admire you.
Even when there were 1000 possible ways
Life could have done you wrong
You chose purity, perseverance and most importantly your own sanity and health over miscalculated adventures
You taught me not every wound is worth the pain
You taught me to choose my battles
Sometimes being coward is the bravest
and wisest thing to do
Hey, thank you for saving yourself
Thank you for taking care of you
In med school, I learnt no matter how well a wound heals
A scar will never be as strong as an intact skin
Seems like that is the philosophy you live by
And now I want it to be mine
I know time will come when you won't have control over things
You may be left broken or even torn apart
But am already proud of you
Cause then you will have the most deserving scar
And you will wear it proud
for it will be your badge of honour
