“Jaalala hin dhumne qabda ati, gifti koo. Kenni hamma dandessu.” - my mom

Translation: “You have an unending amount of love to give, my queen. Give all you can.”

That was my mother’s advice when I shared how I was hurting over broken friendships. Surprisingly, that was what encouraged me the most out of all she said to me. 

I’m Ready

We’re heading for something

Somewhere I’ve never been

Sometimes I am frightened

But I’m ready to learn

Of the power of love. 

Ever wish

you met someone before the time that you did so that they would not have met that other girl before they met you and maybe, just maybe, you two could have hit it off and maybe, just maybe, you two would be together now? No? Just me? Oh, okay. 

You’re every song. And I sing along.

If you had my love and I gave you all my trust

Would you comfort me?
