every single time israel fires on people picking up food or humanitarian aid it truly cuts me to the core. obviously it's equally horrible to fire on civilians escaping the invasion or to bomb hospitals or refugee camps or people just living in their own homes. but there's something so brutal about hitting people right when they have gathered for life-saving aid. by firing on them there the IOF have set up an impossible dilemma where starving people have to choose between death by bullet or death by hunger. they have left no room for palestinians to choose life. i do not know how my government or any other government can just sit by and watch while innocent people continue to be gunned down for the crime of existing in israel's eyeline.

“I thought the goddess of love would look…different.” The wrinkled old woman waved a dismissive hand, leaned closer, and smiled. “You are thinking of my daughter, the goddess of passion and romance. Dearie, I am the goddess of LOVE.”

shame and fear are your friends!!! you can learn so much from them!!! but you wouldn't let your friends break into your house and light it on fire and destroy everything you love so why are you letting them!!!! you must question them and embrace them like everything, and it's never going to be easy, but you must!!!!

my other controversial take for the day is that anger, sadness, shame and fear are seen as inherently negative emotions and because of that the second you express them you are deemed as 'not good' because of experiencing the full breadth of the human experience. so instead of not experiencing these feelings (impossible challenge) everyone just hides them and we develop weirder and weirder complexes about them until we wind up finding new ways to psychologically torment each other.

you've got to learn how to express these feelings, earnestly, when to express them and how to process them yourself. you are going to make mistakes in doing so. but simply denying you have them or WORSE, denying yourself the experience of them by bottling them away... there is no crueler fate and you will never understand why you keep hurting yourself and others regardless.

there is a deep pathological sadness and loneliness you just can’t shake off that comes from having a traumatic childhood and broken family which I still haven’t come to terms with
