#not really a vent but i dont want people who are in a sensitive headspace right now being tipped over or something

Thinking about everyone in Gaza right now. Every Palestinian adult, teen and child whose lives are constantly being changed right now. I know this community is very apolitical and soft and safe, which really it's like that for a reason, but I think it's good to keep events like these in our hearts. Especially when considering that this community is based on tauma- most often childhood trauma- and feeling unsafe and or unsecure in their own homes.

I know what it's like to have your world turn upsidedown as a child and lose someone very close and I just cannot imagine what going through that would be like if I had lost my home, town, pets and any other kind of normalcy. So many people are being forced to be resiliant and to grow up faster than they ever have. That is something people here can connect with, right?
