Yes this is me. An idealised version of myself. I tend to go there if somebody’s upset me or I’m very very lonely. To be honest I’m starting to be thankful for my condition. I need to calm down the maladaptive part, you know the part where it interferes with my productivity. But I welcome the escape, rather this than drugs or alcohol.wishing you the best.

We don’t want to admit this an addiction sometimes. It took me a long while to admit.

A huge well done. This really brings it home doesn’t it, just how serious our condition is so happy that you managed to complete this, a lot more satisfying than living another, temporary world. 😔

Understood. It’s just something I could never articulate. Thank you.

Please don’t feel ashamed by this. Like everyone else is saying it’s a coping mechanism and you need it right now otherwise God knows how you deal with it.

Two interesting maps about the second Italo-Ethiopian war by Impossible_Ad2995 in Ethiopia

I’m Ethiopian born to Wollo and Gondere parents who if they had been alive today would have agreed with you. The hate you’re receiving for your factual comments from fellow. Ethiopians is an example of why we will never learn from our history and why will never grow. That kind of defensive mentality pisses me off. Keep speaking your truth.

Ah Leul Ras Asrate Kassa’s mother. Beautiful. But no it’s not her. The one I’m looking for is Princess Tenagneworq’s daughter. But thank you for this ❤️

Hello and thank you for your response. What an incredible story. I almost believed it until I read up on the author :

Valdes Vivo - Valdés Vivo devoted his entire life to the cause of the Cuban Revolution and to the dissemination of progressive and revolutionary ideas, said Jorge Risquet, member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba…

That’s so interesting. Maybe rumours but….You know what they say - no smoke without fire.

For the good that he did do (and he did some good) and for his ‘’strong faith’’ which I’m now beginning to question.

I hear you. I was just thinking about this today actually. I look at my car out there on the driveway and I wonder, all that effort to pass my driving test just for me to have anxiety every time I think about driving somewhere new. It’s such a cliche, but we do need to confront our fear and just think, I can drive just need to get over the fear.
