Tomorrow marks my birthday, a new chapter in my journey of growth. Yet, I find myself reflecting on what that growth truly means. I yearn for a stress-free existence and no longer wish to immerse myself in environments that cause me to disconnect from reality. I believe the present moment can be a safe, inviting, and comforting space, one that is truly worth living in. I am determined to embrace a life within my control.
I will take the necessary steps to manage my reactions, allowing myself the time to breathe and process when faced with triggers.
I own my emotions...
I am also rekindling my relationship with God, finding the courage to lay my vulnerabilities before Him. I will confront the guilt and shame that have weighed heavily on my shoulders with honesty
"We grow through hard times. Growth is change. And when everything is easy, we have no reason to change. The most painful moments in life expand us. And when the pain leaves, space remains. Space we can fill with life itself."
Hello, my name is Abd Alhadi Aburass, and I am from Gaza Palestine 🇵🇸. I write to you today with a heavy heart💔, seeking hope and help. The ongoing conflict has put my family's life in grave danger🙏.
We have lost our home and my advocacy bureau , leaving us with nothing but the clothes on our backs. In search of safety, we have become refugees, fleeing to another city where we now face immense challenges.
The war has torn apart our lives, and we are struggling to find stability in this new place. Basic necessities like food, clean water, and shelter are scarce. The trauma of the conflict weighs heavily on us, but we are determined to rebuild our lives and create a safer future for our children.
We need your support to get back on our feet. Your generous donations will go towards:
• Emergency Shelter: Helping us secure a safe place to live.
• Food and Water: Providing us with essential nutrition and clean water.
• Medical Care: Access to healthcare for our family, especially our children who have been deeply affected by the trauma.
• Education: Ensuring our children can continue their education and have a chance at a better future.
• Rebuilding Livelihoods: Helping us restart our business or find new means of income to become self-sufficient again.
Every Contribution Counts:
No amount is too small. Every dollar brings us one step closer to stability and a chance to rebuild our lives. Your support means the world to us during this dark time.
Thank You:
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your support not only helps us materially but also gives us hope that better days are ahead.
Please share our story with your friends, family, and community. Together, we can overcome this hardship and start anew.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Abd Alhadi Abu ras and Family
Thank You:

Please, don't get used to the scene
Fellow journalist Hamza Murtaja rose, joining his brother, the martyr Yasser Murtaja.😭
This is how they eliminate the press in Gaza. They targeted our headquarters and our tools, and today they are targeting individuals, but that will not stop us from covering the crimes of this occupier, and we will continue to report this barbarity even if it costs death.
Today, I am trying to collect support to build my house, which was destroyed by the occupation, as well as to buy my family’s daily needs in light of the extremely high prices, and my inability to provide basic requirements. We are fighting to survive, and we do not know whether we will survive or return to this unjust world.
My next goal is 50k and I am working to achieve it by next Thursday. We ask for your support and attention to alleviate this injustice and great pain that is falling upon us.

୨୧ dear diary #2: this is a reminder to build yourself from within first ୨୧
This is my second chapter of my journey towards self-improvement. In this chapter (and quite a few chapters thereafter), I will focus on how I can gradually change myself from within before I can demonstrate such matters through my actions. The ultimate goal I am striving for is to see a clear, positive evolution in my behavior and lifestyle. Only then can I truly become happy with myself and my…

Unpopular opinion, but the moment I stopped listening to videos from self improvement channels like TheWizardLiz or Simonesquared is the moment I started improving.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with them, as I find some of their advices truly helpful, but consuming their media equals to trying to search to further “how to do x, y, z”, when in reality you are once again stopping yourself from doing better (or something at all).
I am a leaver. I am a blocker. I will not stick around after disrespect. I will cut you off and you will be informed about that. I will remove myself the moment I see that a friendship or relationship makes me suffer. I will exit the situation at the first given opportunity. And I always do.
Babe, you don’t have to start at 5 AM after Pilates, at 8.30 after a matcha, or at 10.30 after the gym.
You can start at 7.16 at home, at 15,34 after a long nap, at 19.46 after an afternoon of doom scrolling, at 9.21 before a boring lecture in an ugly building and so on. The only thing that matters is that you start.
The “manifestation” agenda summarised in a few, simple words:
Book: Atomic Habits by James Clear.
If I may say, there is a exceptionally thin line between being unbothered and focused on yourself and being so out of touch with reality to a point even a legitimate critic that is not aligned with the persona you manufactured is seen as out of pocket.
In circumstances similar to the latter, please consider waking the fuck up.
This morning, my therapist shared this really useful hack and I feel like it could be useful to share: it is the pie chart method.
Essentially, it is a great tool to identify the behaviours, situations and events that caused a certain effect, in order for you to truly understand what really happened.
You simply draw a circle, identify the circumstances that caused the outcome and give each situation a percentage of its influence on the outcome.
For example: you bake a cake but it turns out horribly. It could be that 45% of the fault could be given to the oven that has malfunctioned, 30% to the wrongly calculated measurements of the ingredients, and 25% of your inexperience baking a cake. In the end, you will realise that it may not be your fault, and therefore you should stop being so angry at yourself.
Disclaimer: sometimes the fault could be given to you. This is a useful method for those of you who may constantly be harsh to yourselves.
Some of you think way too much. You should be worried about who you are becoming rather than who you were. Nobody cares and nobody remembers, but you.
Louise Hay: How to love yourself.
You offer so much of yourself to people every day, and you still have more to give. While I’m not trying to encourage you into engaging in any behaviour that could possibly drain you, that requires a lot of effort, time and thought. I just wanted to tell you that you’re really brave to be putting up with everything by the end of the day regardless of what it has coming your way and still shooting back again, even if that means doing nothing ‘supposedly’ productive and laying in bed :)
I’m sure many are affected by the news we’ve received as of late. This does hurt, if you did not know this person that’s okay as well. The event has been occurring time and time again with people of all sides. I’m sure you can relate to a time of mental challenge. Maybe you’re going through them right now. Reach out! It’s okay. We must prevent this from happening, for the sake of all. Young children to tend to young adults and adults to older adults. From people struggling in school or career or their marriage/ relationship or with themselves. We have so much power at the tip of our fingers. Use it in a good way. I hope this message is reached by many more.
Well, it’s not a hundred years yet, but I think it’s poetic as finding a vintage locket in an old forgotten dresser. Actually it feels like a message of people and lessons and emotions hidden from everyone for just me to find, even though it isn’t.
maybe in a few 100 years, a kid would stumble upon my Tumblr account and I hope it is as poetic as finding a vintage locket in an old forgotten dresser
Rebel against something today. Not to feel cheesy, but maybe , just maybe , it’ll be the beginning of something you.
And no, this isn’t motivation. This is a battle note.
They wanted me to become a man who fights for his respect. But I became a man who respects himself. And that’s how I became awkward— and I loved
that
kind of awkwardness.
Peonies on caskets. It's all yours. your wait your study. Engulf in your time and if it kills them you can as well send them condolence messages and lovely peonies to be put on there caskets.
I have given up on everything except the believe, in thyself as if am anything special
life is all that we got,ours not there's.
