yeah moping around on socials is doing me no good. i need to get off of here and focus on doing things. i don't know how long i'll be gone for but i won't be available through here at all. see you around.

i think i might try to quit social media for a while..

holding the belief that people are capable of change does not mean you have to interact, reconcile with or forgive someone who hurt you.

You can sincerely believe someone’s new friends, family, colleagues or partners when they tell you that they’re better, but that doesn’t mean you owe them anything

People make a lot of good "thank god I'm not a kid anymore" posts about like school bullies or homework or puberty. But actually my #1 top of the "thank god I'm not a kid anymore" list is the fact that I can leave the event when I want to.

Any event I'm at! I can say "okay well I'm tired I'm going home goodbye." Could not do that shit as a kid. If you're a kid it's like yeah you will sit here at your brother's soccer game in the cold for the next 1.5 hours. You will sit here at your sibling's football practice. You will stay at this BBQ until the whole family is done with the BBQ. You are stuck at the mall until mom finds the pants she needs. You are stuck at the grocery store. No we don't know how long. You are stuck at band practice. It's running late but you're not allowed to leave. You are stuck at the party that the adults said you're leaving soon but they keep talking to these 2 people who showed up late. What the Fuck.

And that shit is on top of having homework.

I am Ahmed from Gaza. I have lived a life filled with pain and hardships, but nothing could have prepared me for what happened after October 7th. On that fateful day, events unfolded that were harsh and indescribably painful. Because of these events, I lost my beloved mother while she was anxiously awaiting treatment and travel to continue her medical care. Losing her in such dire circumstances was the greatest pain I have ever felt.

I lived in a modest house with my wife and little daughter, and our lives were full of challenges, but we dreamed of a better future for our child, one filled with peace and safety. However, the war came and destroyed everything. Our homes were turned into rubble, and we lost everything we owned. We no longer have a house or a shelter, nor even the safety we dreamed of for our child.

We became homeless, searching for a place to shelter us and protect us from the harshness of life. We live each day in constant fear of the unknown future, remembering with sadness those days when we dreamed of a better life. The war didn't just steal our homes; it stole our dreams, our safety, and our loved ones.

Apocalyptic literature needs to be weirder. Too many psychopath lone wanderers and machine-worshipping cults, not enough people devoted to copying fanfic by hand in fandomonasteries.

🍉 This is a signal boost for Mohammed Hijazi! 🍉

vetted by 90-ghost here vetted by northgazaupdates here

Folks, this is Mohammed. He is 30 years old, and he is currently displaced in Gaza with his elderly parents. They are trying to promote their fundraiser to evacuate, but they are still very low on funds. To date, they have raised only €2,106 of their €20,000 goal.

In Mohammed's words:

With each step I take, I carry the weight of my lost home and the dreams I once held dear. But I refuse to let despair consume me. I'm fueled by the unwavering belief that there is hope beyond the horizon, a place where I can find safety and sanctuary.

They are relying on the compassion of strangers to see them to safety. Can you be that hope?

I encourage you to read and reblog his posts, as well as follow him at @savemohammedfamily. Your support will mean the world to them -> if you cannot afford to make a donation yourself, your reblog might bring their story to the attention of someone who can.

Any contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference.

[fratricideknight]

We are not numbers, each one of us has albalawi_ps a family, a home, a #story, ambitions, desires, a heart ✔ ! and a dream in life that we wish to achieve

Please!! Stand with us and #support my family to have the life we deserve
