ⓘ Tip
If you feel unfulfilled by how you spent your time today, you can stay up late to try to combat the sense of dissatisfaction. This will ensure that you feel even worse tomorrow.
i'm not the best at singing. but i'm gonna sing anyway dude. i'm not the best at painting. but i'm still going to paint. my dancing will never see a stage. but it's perfect for early mornings in my bedroom and late nights with people i love. so what does this mean? it means that people are designed to do. not to be the best. just to do. if you're doing what you enjoy, then you don't have to be the best. you just have to enjoy it. you have to live.
like there comes a point where you think something is fundamentally wrong with you. and then it turns out it’s just Friday and you haven’t washed your hair in three days and maybe you’re also just a little lonely and the combination of all three of those things is whittling a hole into your chest every time you breathe. but also the sun’s up. and you’ve survived everything so far, so you’ll survive this too, even if it hurts, even if you have to survive it many times.
Spy x family is very very good because there's a bit where a far right terrorist group says that they want to start a war and a main character responds by saying to them "have any of you ever killed anyone before? Have you ever been killed before? Have you ever had a limb torn off by an artillery shell? Have you ever heard the sound of bones shattering? Have you ever smelled the reek of rotting flesh? Have you ever found the crushed bodies of your parents and siblings in a pile of rubble that used to be your home? Have you ever discovered a blown-off piece of your lover stuck to a wall? Have you ever been so hungry that you tried to eat tree bark? Or stewed a pot of human flesh? Have you ever convinced yourself that your enemy was subhuman so you could...slaughter them like animals? Have you ever been so haunted by shame and regret afterwards that you cried until you vomited? Have you ever had friends who did the same, and then took their own lives? Did you learn nothing about war at your university?!"
and that's the same volume where they adopt a dog that can see into the future

"In Gaza today, God is under the rubble. He is in the operating room. If Christ were to be born today, he would be born under the rubble. We see his image in every child killed and pulled from under the rubble. In every child in incubators," writes Rev. Munther Isaac of the church.
“Do it scared” but please realize that, if you Do It Scared too much and don’t let yourself rest + relax + have fun in between, you will fuck yourself up. If you “do it scared” all day every day, you will burn out badly and quickly. Sometimes this is temporarily necessary but please keep this in mind.
When you “do it scared” eventually you’re supposed to be less scared, eventually doing it scared is supposed to teach you the worst won’t happen, or it won’t be as bad as you think it is, or that the best outcomes are worth it, or you’re more capable than you thought you were. If you do it scared over and over and you’re still scared and you’re always scared, maybe it was never about pushing yourself, maybe something bigger is going on and what you really need is to be kind to yourself while you figure out what that is.
Fucked up that you have to go to work during the winter. Should be curled up in a little nest with several months' supply of food stocked up right now.
It's cold up here and that sucks, but at least I've just got work to deal with.
It's also cold in Gaza at this time of year, but they have to deal with an ongoing genocide, and the daily difficulties involved in just surviving under those circumstances.
Take @ahedfamily, for example. He has to provide for his three daughters, dealing with enormously inflated prices for basic necessities. Shouldn't his three kids get to be safe, fed and warm during the winter?
Iman, Nour and Fatima deserve to be safe. Aahed deserves to be safe. It's absolutely, entirely fucked up that they have to deal with doing what is needed to survive Israel's horrific crimes against the Palestinian people.
They need money for food and shelter. It's winter in Gaza, and it's cold. You have the opportunity to help them afford blankets, food, and clothes by donating to Aahed's fundraiser, even if it's just a little. Every bit counts when crowdfunding, especially since many people get put off donating because they think they can't give enough.
If enough people who think their amount won't help donate anyway, it adds up.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my dear friend, and to all the friends who shared the post. I wish you and your families safety and peace. I am grateful to you all for your support and sympathy.🙏❤️🙏
