I Feel Like I'm Wasting My Life Away. Anyways.

Remember that if you want to do more of something, you have to do less of something else. It's that time of year where people set goals for the new year and they have plans and hopes and it's always focusing on what they want to do more of. More studying, more exercise, more crafting, more socialising, more making things from scratch. Okay, great. What are you going to do less of in order to have the time and energy to do more of those things you really want to do?

Being a little too cold: brrrr i’m a little too cold !!!

Being a little too warm: i am going to kill the next person who makes eye contact with me.

Me, screaming and crying: "WHY DOES EVERYTHING KEEP CHANGING WHY IS EVERY MOMENT FULL OF LOSS IM SO TIRED"

God, dragging me around by my hair and banging me against walls: "IM SORRY BUT IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CONSTANCY. EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT FROM ONE MILLISECOND TO THE NEXT. BUT ALSO ALL THE ATOMS THAT EXIST HAVE ALWAYS EXISTSTED. EVERYTHING THAT WILL EVER HAPPEN HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. NONE OF IT IS LINEAR. I LOVE YOU AND I CANNOT PROTECT YOU FROM THIS"

Massive fuck you to everyone who is talking about Palestinians as if we’re already all dead and sharing more solidarity with our corpses than us living. “We will never forget the beautiful Palestinian people-“ how about you stop “making peace” with Palestinian extermination. My people are not going to be forgotten because we are going to live. Palestinians have already survived one genocide and have been surviving one ever since.

Do not ever let the idea that all Palestinians are going to die exist in your mind. Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.

If it makes anyone feel better I’ve been at several points in my life where I had no friends on any level. To the point where I worried about what would happen to my mom and my cats if I died (sorry morbid), to now knowing there’s people who would take care of my family even if I was just unwell- in the span of a year. Everything can always change please do not resign to doom in your 20s or 30s do not give up do not stop giving a fuck. whatever is happening will pass OR you’ll learn to live with it. And that’s final

I think this is a good opportunity to educate people on the history of Palestine, the Nakba, and how it happened to show why what's happening today has been happening for the last century. Here's a documentary series that uses archival footage, official documentation, Israeli and Arab historian accounts, and personal accounts from Palestinian refugees to tell the story of the colonization of Palestine. Remember to click the Read More in the link to look at the episodes.

Even if you don't plan on watching it, I would still appreciate if you could share this so access to this knowledge is more widespread.

Never did I think I'd live long enough to see a mass genocide in my lifetime, but here we are. This shit is insane. We really need to reconsider who we put in power in our countries. We need to make noise, and lots of it. For all those innocent lives being taken right now, it's the least we should do for them.

I'm begging that we don't have another massive war.
