Hi everyone ...
I am Maram Al-Nabulsi, I currently live in the completely destroyed 🏚🚀city of Gaza, specifically Khan Younis. Since the war on Gaza began on 10/7/2023, my family - my father Muhammad, my mother Hiba and my siblings Nour, Maram, Mahmoud - have been living in constant fear, crying and suffering because of shrapnel, shells and bullets. We have no food🥘🌯, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools🏢📚, no homes🏚, no cleaning supplies, no clothes🧣🧥🧤. Our house was completely destroyed. My school was bombed, and my sister Nour's university was turned into rubble, which deprived us all of education. The war forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents that are not suitable for living, especially in winter. Every day we live death, terror and panic a thousand times because of the continuous bombing of my city. The war has killed more than 50 of my relatives and neighbors. At the beginning of the war, we took refuge in my aunt's house, but it was also turned into rubble. Imagine: We have escaped imminent death more than 20 times, and have been displaced between shelters more than 13 times. My brothers and I have suffered from many diseases due to malnutrition, and we need medicine constantly. If we stay in Gaza, we may lose our lives. Recently, we have been seriously considering leaving Gaza to a safe place. However, the travel costs are very high. We need more than 70 thousand dollars to leave Gaza. Due to the exorbitant prices, rampant unemployment, insecurity, the ongoing blockade, and the continuous bombing, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity💔🙏, with the constant bombing and shrapnel flying above us? My dear compassionate friends around the world, with your generous donations, even if small, you can save 5 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza full of love, peace, and hope. Best regards from Gaza City....🍉🇵🇸

gosh I love animals so much
I don't want to die before owning 3 cats, having at least one full convo with a parrot, perching a falcon on my shoulder or forearm, fighting a seagull, playing with a hamster, feeding a bunny, visiting a butterfly garden, building a birdhouse, having a photoshoot with a tiger, chasing a fox and petting a polar bear
also I gotta swim with a bank of fish at least once
of all things insufferable, the burden of this world is the most
nvm I don't wanna fall in love anymore love is js propaganda made so ppl can reproduce 💜
Educate yourself. Set that alarm for 3:47 AM because you feel like it. Read Oscar Wilde and Sylvia Plath. Fill that white board on your wall with quantum equations. Read opinions and beliefs about the origins of the universe and its nature today. Write passionately, whether it's a fanfic or poetry. Drink black coffee and green tea. Prioritise skincare over makeup and do calisthenics. Learn about the stock market. Watch lectures on philosophy and psychology. Practice your mental math. Learn the anatomy of the human body and coding languages, 'cuz why not.
becoming educated as hell is just step one. The best part is, you can do it anywhere, anytime. On your bed on a Sunday morning, in the car, at a boring party and while you're waiting for your order. On Youtube, Khanacademy or talking to someone who thinks they're better than you.
Educate yourself.
Reminder for Indians AND Pakistanis, or anyone willing to listen.
DO NOT rely on Indian OR Pakistani media for sources about the war.
for the record, I am Pakistani.
As far as I know, Pakistani media is just full of sources debunking EVERYTHING that Indian media has to say, so I don't know what to believe and what to not.
Also as far as I know, and with all due respect to Indians cuz I love y'all
Indian media is spreading fake news like crazy. My previous post/answer includes just a couple examples.
Rely on International Media and news outlets instead.
I use Al Jazeera primarily, so far they are unbiased and provide fact - checked information.
Staying well-informed is good not just for our safety but also to truly understand why exactly this war is so detrimental towards both sides.
I advise all Indians and Pakistanis to engage in productive and open-minded conversations as well.
Stay safe, fact-check your news because some of y'all are starting to perplex me.
Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.
I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.
Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔
my mother deserves the world and honestly so does my father he's just got childhood trauma or something
oh my god I think I like intellectualism now
third culture kids moving back to their country ( me ) have to be studied because
the people in the foreign country were racist to me
the people in my country see me as an outsider
other overseas kids don't relate to me anymore
wannabe overseas kids in my country are just annoying
man ts 💔
we don't bully people for not knowing how to ride bikes anymore
