beauty is a temporary thing, we'll all be the same when we decompose in the grave, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, it is subjective, BLA BLA BLA
why is it that beauty is such a soft yet complex topic?
why is chasing beauty such a curse?
if beauty isn't that important, what of the significance of it?
the most beautiful man on Earth was blessed by the heavens. (if ur Muslim yk)
the beautiful women and men of paradise and continuously mentioned.
if you're beautiful in this life, God has blessed you. If not, it is a test.
While it is clear that we are all the same in the eyes of the Al Mighty, why was the drive towards heavenly beauty instilled within us? only to tear us apart?
growing up as the 'ugly girl', ooh, you can't possibly fancy her, she's unappealing to the eyes!
seeing how ladies greet my sisters and compliment them, only for their smiles to falter when I come into view.
'oh, you must take after your father then.'
'Beauty is subjective!' but the nurses wouldn't stop chattering when my sister was born because they thought they saw an angel.
'It's in the eye of the beholder!' but I'm constantly told how aged I look, or if I'm well, or how lucky I am that I'm smart.
If beauty was meant to simply be a worldly concept, then why is heaven beautiful? why are the people of heaven beautiful?
if beauty is something to be achieved, then why am I treated as though I'm cursed?
Help Hana and Youssef

I'm a mother of a 2-year-old child. His name is yousef...I see my son growing up in front of me and I do not know how or when. This is not what I wished for him. I was dreaming of a wonderful life to spend with him...a life not full of death, fear, destruction and deprivation...I wanted to fill his room with toys and his closet with clothes, and I wanted to buy children's books for him, but I couldn't... the war came and the wishes were gone...my goal became to provide him with milk and food. I can barely afford anything. Everything is expensive and we no longer have income to enable us to buy his needs. Kram eggs have been deprived of many of his basic needs. He has been deprived of safety and stability..No, fruits, or meat.
There is nothing but fear that fills my son's eyes as soon as he hears the voices around him. He does not realize what It happens outside, but he feels and sees it in our eyes when he looks at us.I cannot protect myself and my son. Help me to save my son yousef. He deserves a better life, as do all the children of Gaza and the world.
Alone, I cannot, but with your help, we will be able to find a safe place and a better future for my son. Be a reason to change a child's life for the better by visiting our link on GoFundMe. And donate anything to us, no matter how small...every dollar makes a difference and give a life for my son..
I am Youssef. I was very young at the beginning of the war, but now l have grown up and can walk and know how to speak and understand everything. I hope to get your help in publishing or donating on our Aaljo Fund Me account
My campaign is verified by 90ghost. verified campaign is listed as number 246 on the verified fundraiser spreadsheet vetted by nabulsi and el-shab-hussein
5€ may seem small
The most difficult decision for us was to leave our country, to leave Gaza, overcome the obstacles we faced and the losses we suffered, and begin a new life from scratch.
nvm I'm back to normal I'm js gonna go to sleep 💯
I suppose I forgot that beauty is in everything. Still, I'm waiting for mine.
God, no.
I'll have to get it myself.
before igloo we had macaroni cheese
I'm sorry but look what your nation has done once again. After initiating ceasefire, they violated it within 3 hours. What do you expect India to do? Sit and watch while they kill its people. For how long? For how long should India tolerate the bullshit that country does?
Pakistan retaliated only after India breached the ceasefire.
I repeat, India attacked first.
Indian media continues to spread misinformation, look at sources like BBC or Al Jazeera.
Even educated Indians do not look at their own news channels. Your own sources stated today that we have a sea port in Lahore that they destroyed.
Lahore is not close to any large waterbodies.
Your sources claim that they have destroyed cities like Peshawar. False.
That they have destroyed 'terrorist launch pads' ; nothing of the sort, they have targeted our civilian areas.
I hold the utmost remorse for the large attacks that Pakistan is commiting in retaliation, it is admittingly quite concerning for me as well. I hope you are safe.
This should serve as a reminder that we should not be each other's enemies. Civilians should not fight like this.
I urge all Indians looking at my posts to indulge in actually productive conversations if they wish, but to refrain from falling privy to harmful stereotypes that have been built against us for so long. Educate yourselves, war is a terrible time for propaganda from BOTH sides.
Stay safe and remember that peace is our principle.
Could you help me🥹🇵🇸

This Is My Story, and I Kindly Ask You to Read It
Hi everyone,
I’ve stayed quiet for a while, hoping things would clear up on their own. But I can’t stay silent anymore. What’s happening is not just unfair — it’s deeply hurtful and confusing.
As many of you know, I’ve been sharing my story here for the past few months. I’m from Gaza, and like so many others, I’ve lost nearly everything because of this war — my home, my loved ones, my sense of safety. I started my campaign not to guilt anyone, but simply to survive, and to make sure that voices from Gaza are still heard.
In the beginning, I may have reached out to people too often. I was new to Tumblr and didn’t fully understand the limits of outreach. I realize now that some people felt overwhelmed by my messages, and I genuinely apologize if I caused any discomfort. That was never my goal. I was just trying to be seen in a world where we often feel invisible.
Some users began spreading false claims about me — saying I’m not from Gaza, that I’m not the person in my photos. None of that is true.
Before I ever shared a single post, I contacted Gazavetters — a respected Tumblr page that vets campaigns from Gaza. They asked me to send a photo of myself in Gaza holding a paper with their name on it. I did. After reviewing everything, they verified me and added my name to their list as number 309.

Second picture during the war
For weeks, I was listed as verified. Then one day, I was suddenly flagged as Spam/Bot — with no warning, no explanation, no message. I reached out again. They asked for a thing, I provided it, and they restored me.
But just a few days ago, a friend told me that I’ve now been flagged again — this time as Scam/Spam. I was shocked. I’ve messaged them again for answers, but so far, there’s been no reply.
This label is serious. People who once supported me are now doubting my entire story. And that hurts more than I can explain.
So I’m asking publicly, with full transparency:
Gazavetters — why did you mark me as Scam/Spam after already verifying me?
What proof do you have to support that?
Why was I not warned or contacted first?
@gazavetters
You shared a general post warning about people who pressure donors by saying things like, “If you don’t donate, I will harm myself.”
I have never done that.
I have never said anything extreme or manipulative.
What makes this harder is that I see other campaigns on your list using much stronger language, and yet they remain flagged “safe.” I am not here to criticize them — everyone struggles in their own way — but I do want to understand:
Why am I the only one flagged with such a damaging label, despite doing everything right?
I am not a scammer.
I am a real person — from Gaza — and I have nothing to hide.
If anyone has doubts, I invite you to talk to me directly, and I’ll gladly provide proof again.
But I also want to say this:
Gazavetters, you have a responsibility to be truthful and fair. You verified me. You received my proof. If you truly believe I’m a scammer, show the evidence. If not — then please be honest with the community and speak up.
Right now, people are using your flag as their only evidence to say I’m a liar. And your silence is allowing false narratives to spread. If you know I’m real — and you already verified me — then please tell people the truth.
Don’t silently mark me with a harmful label and walk away.
That’s not vetting. That’s feeding doubt.
To those who’ve supported me:
Thank you for your kindness, your reblogs, and your trust.
To those who doubted me: I understand, but I invite you to learn the full story before making a judgment.
To Gazavetters: I still respect the work you do, but I ask you to stand by your own process and your own words.
This is my campaign, if you want to read it and decide for yourself
Thank you so much for listening ❤️
why are girls wishing they could go back to when they didn't need education
like in the big 25 you're gonna let the boys get ahead? 💔
some of you guys didn't grow up as the ugly sibling and it shows
( I am projecting )
💬 Just a Small Update, and a Big Thank You
Dear friends, kind hearts, and everyone who has stood with us,
When I first opened my heart to the world and shared our story, I never imagined the amount of love and solidarity we would receive. Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve now reached $12,837—a milestone that brings real light to some very dark days.
From the deepest corners of my heart, thank you.
As many of you know, I’ve lost 25 of my loved ones during this devastating war. That grief lives with me every single day. It’s in the silence that once held laughter, in the empty spaces where we once gathered as a family.
But through your help, I’ve also felt something else: hope. And that hope is priceless.
“21/Oct/2023 Before It Reached Us: The Day Our Neighbor’s House Was Destroyed” A quiet moment of fear, filmed just before everything changed.
“22/Oct/2023 The Morning After: Our Family Home in Ruins” This is what was left behind after the bombing of our home.
Despite everything, we’re still here. Still surviving. Still hoping.
But things have only gotten harder.
The war has returned, more brutal than before—and for over a month now, Gaza has been completely sealed off. No food is coming in. No medical supplies. No aid. No trade. No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter.
We’re trapped.
🏚 We live with the fear of tomorrow, every single day. Airstrikes, drones, and the uncertainty of what might happen next. 👨👩👧 Our family is forever changed—we haven’t just lost people; we’ve lost pieces of ourselves. 📉 Basic needs go unmet—even clean water feels like a luxury now. Medicines, if they exist at all, are unreachable.
And yet…
Your support reminds us that we’re not forgotten. It reminds us that someone, somewhere, is still listening. That someone still cares. That we’re not completely alone in this.
Every message. Every share. Every dollar. It tells us: You’re walking this road with us. And that gives us the strength to keep going.
If you’ve already donated—thank you beyond words. If you can share our story again, it could reach someone who can help.
Even $5 means warmth, comfort, and a chance to breathe a little easier.
This isn’t just about reaching a fundraising goal. It’s about surviving war with dignity. It’s about believing in tomorrow. It’s about making sure my daughter grows up knowing that the world did not look away.
Thank you for your kindness, patience, and belief in our humanity. You’ve helped me find my voice—and I will use it to keep hope alive.
There’s something I need to say—something that’s been on my heart for some time.
When I first began sharing our story, I didn’t know what the right way was. I was scared, grieving, and trying to protect my family in any way I could. I reached out to many people, hoping someone, anyone, would see us. In that process, I now realize I may have overstepped, and I might have made some feel overwhelmed.
If that happened, I am truly sorry.
Please believe me when I say it was never out of disregard or pushiness. It came from a place of fear—fear of being forgotten, fear of not being able to keep my family safe, fear of watching everything I love slip away in silence.
I’m learning as I go. I’ve slowed down. I’m more mindful now, trying to share our journey in a way that feels respectful of the space and hearts of those listening.
If my words ever came at the wrong time, or in the wrong way, I hope you can understand where they came from—and I hope you can forgive me.
Thank you for seeing past my mistakes. Thank you for still being here. It means more than I can ever explain.
With love and endless gratitude, Mosab and family ♥️
