#pray for resilience

Brace yourself. It WILL get dark. It WILL be hard. It WILL feel like eternity. But don't give up. You WILL come out better, stronger, wiser.

hi im back again not because im normal but because i really want to find that video of the girl showing off her weird toys and being like “this is…. Soy. Big. Soy.” because I have really been connecting with her lately. I probably wont be normal for a long time because all of my nightmares have been made manifest but it was a valiant effort right yes

For so long, you've prayed for peace. You opened your eyes every morning hoping for a better day and closed them every night wondering when that feeling would come. You awaited that feeling of alleviation, clarity, and confidence that you so desperately envisioned but never quite embodied. You ached for that feeling of having some sense of normalcy and safety after being in seasons that felt almost too uncomfortable to bear. Now, seasons and lessons later, the tide has turned. You look back at those times and appreciate the tears because they taught you more than you ever anticipated, and you clearly see the resilience of the person in the mirror. As you stand here - older, wiser, and more understanding than you've ever been - embrace this moment. Embrace what it took to bring you to this point, and release the pain that ultimately positioned you. You are standing in answered prayers. Now, stand tall.

I long for the belt buckles to arrive.

But when they do arrive!! Watch out!

Today was the first time I was able to feel with great conviction that I am saved. To be honest I’ve felt it for a while—a few weeks or a few days maybe? But I didn’t fully realize until I was singing “Arise, My Soul Arise” on the way home from church, and I could sing “with confidence I now draw nigh, and ‘Father, Abba, Father,’ cry.” And I felt it was true. I have loved that hymn for so long because I wanted very badly for it to be true in my life and now I can sing it and feel it not just as a longing but as a reality.

Review of Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey

Netflix’s Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey is a four-part documentary that plunges viewers into the dark, disturbing world of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), a polygamist sect ruled by Warren Jeffs. The series is relentless, not just in its portrayal of Jeffs as a calculated predator, but in the way it unpacks the systematic manipulation and oppression he enacted…

being a disabled emo is like sometimes you are sat in a hospital bed about to have a minor procedure hoping everything goes fine because you have tickets to see paramore tomorrow

some people you can’t leave in your life and they are there everyday and they feel omnipresent because even a small disruption by them feels huge, and you fight it for some time, and then you learn to breathe around them, and then you slowly learn to live and enjoy despite them.

Hi guys! Yujatea here! If you enjoy my work, I’d like to please ask for a moment of your time to consider helping this family I’m supporting! Shaima is a mother of four children, Abdul Rahim, Walid, Majdi, and baby Amal. Shaima is struggling to support her children since her husband disappeared, and needs urgent help with providing food and resources for them, especially as winter sweeps through Gaza! This family’s fundraising campaign (@familgazaamal1) is completely vetted and I’m trying to use my platforms to raise awareness on their behalf. I’ll be opening my commissions to raise funds for their campaign so keep your eyes peeled! I’ll also post their fundraiser link in my highlights as well! Thanks guys! Let’s do our part to reclaim kindness and uplift each other!

Here's a message from the family:

In Gaza, where conflict looms over daily life, children’s dreams remain a ray of hope. Abdul Rahim, a young boy, dreams of becoming a famous artist, using his drawings to tell the world about the beauty of his homeland. Walid, on the other hand, dreams of playing football in a big stadium, representing his country despite the obstacles around him. Majdi, a cat lover, dreams of becoming a kind person and helping children. Majdi, who dreams of opening an animal shelter to care for animals in Gaza. Even in the midst of war, these children cling to their dreams, believing that one day, despite the difficulties, they will achieve their goals. Their dreams are not only about personal success, but also about shedding light on a world filled with darkness. These dreams symbolize the resilience of Gaza’s children, showing that hope and determination can survive even the most difficult circumstances.

In the heart of the ongoing war, Shaima lives with her four children, constantly struggling with pain and waiting. Her husband, who was once the source of security and happiness, left a long time ago, facing the challenges of war far from them. Every day, Shaima makes earnest efforts to keep life going despite the hardships. She strives to provide food and shelter while trying to instill hope in the hearts of her children, who are still waiting for their father’s return, a father they know little about other than his absence. Her four children, despite their young age, carry great hopes in their hearts. The eldest, who everyone sees as the "little father," dreams of their father returning to embrace them as he did in the past. The youngest, on the other hand, wakes up at night searching for his father's voice, wishing for his return to feel safe again. Shaima's dream is every mother’s dream in this war: for her husband to return safely so they can live together again in peace and security. She dreams of the days when her husband filled their home with joy, and she prays for the end of the war so their family can reunite once more. Yet, amid the destruction and tears, hope remains their strength. Shaima knows that her patience and resilience are what keep the family going. Despite the difficult days, she continues to resist, dreaming of the moment when her family will be whole again, with her husband and the father of her children back home.

PTSD is wild. Usually with the mommy issues version my flashbacks involve my fight or flight going off and me freaking tf out until I calm myself down, but the version from the psychosis trauma consists of me seeing a memory every time I close my eyes. I still don’t like it cause it means I have a thousand yard stare all the time and I hate feeling like I’m floating untethered through time, but it is deeply strange to me to not have a freak out and instead just like.
