I don't think that it's necessary for me to say this but at the same time I believe that I need to.
I have no true excusable reason for why I have stopped reposting and responding to stories of those in Gaza and Palestine. I had stopped reposting and responding to them to give my mental health a break. No, that is so microscopic considering what those in Palestine are going through. I have not forgotten about those in Palestine, I have not stopped boycotting, I am aware of the ceasefire and I'm aware that the ceasefire was broken over 50+ times. I am aware that Israhell plans to execute a large "attack" on Gaza, to do large levels of damage and pain.
But, the messages that I get every single day, telling me about their situation in Gaza and the trauma that they are experiencing. Children being sniped, camps being bombed, an increase of attacks, the deaths of journalists. It can be too much for my mental health to handle. I have some of my own issues happening at home, both in the household and in the states. It's so much to focus on and I feel like I can't breathe. So I decided to give myself a break from the messages, just for a bit, I needed a break. I am privileged enough to give myself a break and I know that. But, I will start sharing them again soon, I just need a little bit longer.
Although, it's not a good excuse or reason, I know. But, I feel like I owe y'all an explanation. I'm genuinely sorry, and no amount of sorry's could fix anything. Thank you for reading and understanding.
