before the situation worsens, god forbid, there are a few things i'd like to say. primarily because some of you have asked, and some of you have stayed silent, and i have lived long enough to know that silence too is a sound.
if anyone here comes at me for discussing politics on a fanfiction fucking blog, please know that the state of the world is not mere politics. please remember that war does not wait for convenient timelines. it does not pause for fanfic updates or midday reblogs. it crashes through borders and bedrooms alike, and presses itself into the mouths of the hungry and the backs of the displaced. i have a following of nearly 1k people and would like to use my platform because i have a voice and am determined to use it. this is not about religion. this is about being human and watching humanity be peeled off the bone in real time.
i do not support any, any form of violence, bloodshed, innocent killing of civilians whatsoever. what is happening in the world, in multiple, multiple regions is sickening and i am absolutely terrified of not only what we've become, but of who the people running this world, have let it. those words shouldn’t even need saying but here we are, wringing language for basic mercy.
palestine has no more food. i repeat, palestine has no more food. this is not metaphor. this is not the poetry of famine. and to pretend this is isolated is a kind of violence too. kashmir burns in the same red. and it's always the innocent. no matter which side of the state of kashmir they lie on. even in kashmir itself.
i am terrified. not of death, but of the fact that we are beginning to watch it with dry eyes. that the ones who pull the trigger sleep well.
and so i speak. not for clout, not for anything but because there is something holy in the act of saying:
because no matter which part of the world i am from, i do not support any form of war or killing. because unlike some of you, i know what it implies, of what it entails.
now if you feel helpless, good. it means your heart is still beating in the right direction. if you feel angry, good. it means you haven't yet been numbed by the noise of what the bollocks have to say.
don’t tell yourself it’s too complicated to care.
the world is burning, yes.
but so long as we can still name the fire,
there is still something left to save.
and let your humanity be the loudest thing about you.
