#the beauty of the sea

[itakeadvantageofbeingpretty]

I miss the ocean. the water, the breeze I felt from outside my window. the sunset reflecting in the water, making me squint my eyes just so I could watch as the sky turns a beautiful shade of orange. I miss sitting outside and painting the cityscape. getting all dressed up just to go to the mall with friends and not buy anything because I don't have the money. I'm sure the country will be beautiful in its own way but the city is its whole own thing. I will forever miss it.

I know it’s not much in the face of everything but I have been finding hope & resilience in palestinian poetry these past few weeks and I created a google drive file of poetry collections by palestinian poets that I will keep updating as I keep on reading. I also recommend checking out @fiercynn’s palestinian poets series for more poets + poetry available online

"Famine is a useful word when you do not wish to use words like 'genocide' and 'extermination'."
