I have come to the harrowing realisation that i don't quite like myself. and i haven't liked myself in almost 1,5 years.
i feel stuck in a loop i have trapped myself in, and i'm struggling to see how i will ever get out. i am one year into my masters degree and i'm not sure i'm gonna finish it. i'm not even sure that i like it as much as i thought i would. i have started the process to get a leave of absence, and then i'll see after that year if i'm gonna drop out or gonna power through.
i feel like a failure having to put it on pause. everybody else can power through, so why can't i? everybody else can get an internship and not almost fail their exams, so why can't i? maybe i'm not meant for school anymore, but what am i then meant to do? it's all i've ever been good at.
i don't do any of the things i normally do. i don't cook proper food. i don't exercise. i don't read or write. i don't watch movies. i sleep badly and am constantly tired. i don't like myself when i look in the mirror. i feel ugly and deformed and like i'm trapped in a body that doesn't belong to me.
i think i have stress. i'm going to the doctor soon to hopefully get the diagnosis. that would help with the leave of absence. i think i have something else too. maybe adhd. maybe autism. but something that is hindering me from functioning like a normal person.
i'm addicted to my phone. i hate my phone. i can't get rid of my phone. i want to throw it in the ocean but it's somehow always in my back pocket. it stops my from everything, because being on it is better that doing everything else.
i don't like my clothes or my style. but i don't know how to fix it. i spend hours picking my closet apart but i never end up changing anything.
i have so many grant wishes of who i wish to be. she's not far away. she's a shadow i see turn around every corner, but i can never catch up to her.
she's smart. she's educated on the things that interest her. literature. history. math. chemistry. she cares for herself. she knows she is her own greatest investment, and knows how to nurture herself. she wears fun clothes, she reads good books, she listens to great music, and her phone is the least interesting thing about her.
i don't know how to become her. but i really want to try.

**… Ibrahim Iwais needs your support for GAZA : HELP IWAIS FAMILY TO R
Mohammed iwais has lost everything in the past 10 months, and the situation is dire with him being the sole provider for his family, and his sister still needs her medication to fully recover from her shot wound, and with several times they have been displaced, the severity of the situation I can't even put in words. Please let's come together. With every dollar you donate, you get the iwais family closer to their hope of safely evacuating a reality.
donations have really slowed the past couple days. I know lots of people need help right now but I want to stress that Mohammed and his family are in a dire situation, with multiple medical needs and heavy bombing causing them to be displaced yet again just yesterday. Mohammed's friend was able to set up a tent for him, otherwise he would have been sleeping on the street.
his campaign organiser is starting the next money transfer in just 2 days and these funds are critical for the whole family's survival.
5 USD = 53 SEK, but even the spare change from between your couch cushions will help 🙏
This is our life that we have been living for more than 300 days. We are a family of five people living in a small tent. We live a life without security and without food. We want to live in safety.🙏
I want you to donate and participate so that I can reach my goal and save the lives of me and my family.🍉
$1 makes a difference in saving the lives of me and my family ❤️
Hi, my name is Abdulkarim Al-madhoun “Karam” , I am 19 years old… Abdulkareem Madhoun needs your support for Desperate plea: Help my family
Mohammed's GoFundMe organiser Ibrahim will be starting the next money transfer on Tuesday, August 20th. That means we have 5 days to raise as much as possible for the Iwais family before this transfer.
We've made a lot of progress on the campaign so far, and this is a great opportunity to keep that momentum going when the family really need us. Mohammed's sister still needs proper treatment for her bullet wound, another family member is sick, and with the high prices of food and other necessities in Gaza, they are all in danger of going hungry.
Help the Iwais family survive: donate before Ibrahim makes the next withdrawal on Tuesday!

Hi guys, I've posted about my friends Rajaa (@rajaagaza) and Khaled (@khaled-gaza) before, but I'm making another post to raise awareness for their fundraising efforts. Rajaa and Khaled are a young married couple from Gaza, and they've been trying to raise the money necessary to evacuate into Egypt for months, with little success.
Rajaa makes it a point to message me as frequently as she can, and it is always the highlight of my day. I feel incredibly lucky to know her; she is a truly wonderful friend. It pains me, however, that I cannot do more to help her. As you can read in the messages above, she and her family are desperately in need of our help. Her 18 month old son Karam is suffering from extreme malnutrition and prolonged psychological distress. They desperately need to evacuate to Egypt when the border opens again, which could happen any day now.
I am turning to you for your assistance in raising the funds they need. Rajaa and Khaled have managed to raise $9,939 CAD so far. They need $20,000 CAD to be able to evacuate and survive once in Egypt. They're almost exactly halfway to their goal!
If you have the means, a donation of $5 CAD (equivalent to roughly $3.60 USD) would make a significant impact on their fundraising efforts. Rajaa and Khaled's goal is extremely achievable, but momentum has slowed down to almost a complete halt recently. They cannot afford for this to keep happening. Khaled's account has been deleted in the past, and his new account was recently shadowbanned. This is very detrimental to their campaign. I am begging you to help keep momentum going for them- to help them hold onto hope. This is their only lifeline.
Thank you so much if you've donated to their campaign already, and if you've been sharing it with your friends or reblogging it here. Your assistance has truly made such a difference in Rajaa, Khaled and Karam's life.
Let's continue to help them together.

I've seen little about it so, Just an FYI what's been unfolding in England today. Far-right protestors are literally trying to kill asylum seekers in hotels.
In Rotherham, Yorkshire fascists have tried to set a hotel on fire with migrants staying there. Some signalling cut-throat gestures at the people staying in the rooms.
In Tamworth, Staffordshire the very same thing is happening. Another hotel has been set on fire with asylum seekers still inside alongside racist graffiti.
Other similar protests that are going uncountered are happening in Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Stoke-on-Trent and many more areas, chances are there will be one somewhere by you if things keep going the way they are.
Nazis are literally strolling about unchallenged and these people are marching happily with them. There are more sensitive videos online which I won't share here but there are groups of nazis chasing down and circling black people in cities and beating them up, indian and chinese takeaways being targetted, turkish barbers being set alight and there have been incidents of muslims being assaulted and even stabbed.
BUT... There are success stories from UK cities where riots have failed due to no turnout or due to antifascists driving far-right pricks out of the city.
Cardiff, Wales - About 5 fascists turn up compared to 500 conuter-protestors. They failed to get anyone here despite trying two times.
Liverpool, Merseyside - A significant EDL mob is marched out of the city and fought against. Counter-protestors form a ring around a mosque being targetted.
Bristol, City of - antifascists block the entrance to a hotel that nazis are trying to get into as well as a fierce citywide push against the EDL and racism.
Nottingham, East Midlands - A huge antifascist counter protest outnumbers EDL and the far-right, preventing a riot from occuring.
There are many many more of these riots planned. If you're in the UK get organised and be prepared to fight alongside the people who make our communities stong and resiliant and make our country and cities a wonderful vibrant and friendly place to be.
Help by whatever means you can.
If you are not from the UK then please signal boost this because this needs to stop this nastiness from spreading and to make nazis afraid again.
