Are you being dependent?

Dependency, whether on substances, technology, or other people, is like riding a bike with training wheels forever. Sure, you won't fall, but you’ll never experience the thrill of riding freely! It zaps your self-control and makes it tricky to make your own decisions or chase your dreams. Your self-esteem? It sinks faster than a stone in a pond, leaving you feeling like you always need a safety net. Plus, it can turn relationships into a juggling act, with too much leaning on others causing chaos and imbalance. In the end, dependency keeps you in a sticky cycle that's tough to break free from, but hey, recognizing it is the first step to ditching those training wheels and zooming ahead on your own!

Beauty -Through a Different Lens: The Mursi and Suri Lip Plate Tradition🎭

What is beautiful? For the Mursi and Suri tribes of Ethiopia (african tribe), beauty isn't about trends or what's in a magazine—it's a clay plate. This centuries-old tradition involves stretching the lower lip to wear a distinctive lip plate. Far from a simple accessory, the reasons behind this practice are deeply woven into their culture. While a widely circulated theory suggests it began as a way to make women less desirable to slave traders, this has been largely dismissed by modern anthropologists. Instead, the lip plate is a powerful expression of a woman's social status, identity, and personal worth. The size of the plate is often linked to the dowry paid in cattle for a marriage, with a larger plate signifying a 1greater value. It's also a rite of passage, marking a girl's transition into womanhood and her eligibility for marriage👰‍♀.

Episodes of my life✨

"The only source of knowledge is experience" , I have gained a profound understanding of the diversity of the human perspectives and the importance of cultural sensitivity. As so, I got a clear insight that the way people think and perceive the world can vary significantly across cultures. Growing up in my own cultural context, I had a certain set of beliefs and assumptions about life that I took it for granted. However, I later discovered that there are multiple ways of understanding and interpreting the world. This has taught me to approach different worldviews open mindedly.
