Have you ever experienced seeing your dream broken in front of your eyes and not being able to do anything about it? Have you ever thought about living in a tent in a cold and unclean ocean, sleeping on the sand, without a bathroom or water? Have you thought about living in a place where you can’t meet your family’s basic needs and feel helpless about it?
I am Shahd from the southern Gaza Strip. All my life, I have been building a life for me and my family. It persisted in a good future, when the war in Gaza began on October 7, 2023. We were in extreme fear during the displacement, and found ourselves in an insufficient small tent. Despite the lack of safety, food, clean water and the spread of diseases, we had to live this difficult life under bombardment, knowing that at any moment, my family and I could lose our lives
My whole life has been scattered, and I am extremely frustrated and sad by the ongoing genocide I witness every day
Do you understand what it means to be in a situation where you have been displaced over and over again, just to reach the only supposed safe area that I ordered you to go to by a much stronger force than you as an unarmed civilian, just to be told that you can’t be there anymore? After you lose everything, like your home, your memories, your friends, your family and loved ones, your job, and everything you have worked hard to achieve...
Amid these hardships, I see a glimmer of hope, because I haven’t given up yet.
If you know of any organizations, associations or entrepreneurs who support and fund projects, please do not hesitate to share my association with them.
They can also contact me directly.
I know that the path to success after destruction can be difficult, but with your help and support for me and my family

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
I love this color so much 😭🍒🎀

I am so tired of the portrayal of Hijabi girls as veryyy nice and sweet and like they would let people walk all over them. And specially if the sole purpose of their existence is to get married and raise kids (nothing wrong with that. Those are valid choices) Like no please. I am a Hijabi and people in my family have started calling me a feminist. They don't make misogynist jokes when I am present... even the adults. My bestie is a Hijabi and will fight any authority figure. I fought with a group of boys who tried to harass my friend. we have stood up to the men in our lives and even fought with them. We are angry and can stand up for ourselves and can have goals and ambition. Excuse any mistakes I am just pissed of rn. We are not the sweet nice girls sitting around waiting for a man. We are not calm. We are angry. Angry on men who try to use religion to control us. And angry on white people who think we need to take it off for their validation. For them to see us as equals. Both these categories can f* off.

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
