do you ever feel like you're being left behind?
rapidly approaching my mid twenties has made me think of my position in this life. still living at home, still single, still working in a job that requires no real skill, all these things I've done in my teenage years of studying hard, getting good grades to get myself out there, get an upper hand and here I am.
having a place on my own is too expensive, not feeling like anyone is capable of loving you for who you are, not feeling like I can take the plunge and go for a job I'd be passionate about.
there's nothing in my life that spurs interest, I wake up, go to work, come home, sleep. day in, day out. its a never ending cycle that I can't seem to break out of.
I've been finding myself falling into longer disassociative episodes more often, because I simply can't find any reason to be in my own body and mind because life is so mind numbingly boring.
maybe I should move out, maybe I should date, maybe I should change jobs, maybe I should get back into my old hobbies... maybe.

Hi,My name is Aya. I am 26 years old, I am from Gaza and I have two children Sana'a is five years old and Wasfi is three years old
But then, October 7th came, and we couldn't comprehend what happened to us after that day .we left our homes, abandoning everything, fleeing from death, bombing and terror
My children left their warm room، their toys, their clothes, and their schools, which they miss so much that they look at the pictures on the phone, remembering every detail, their eyes filled with tears. I always refuse to let them see the pictures of the house or the food financial support to meet even or basic needs. the food is very expensive. we survive on poor _quality canned goods _
My children are suffering from skin diseases
and the gas shortage has forced us to use fire for everything _cooking and backing _ using plastic and pipes because firewood is so hard to find
please help us. Every contribution, even if small, will make a difference in our lives
Please donate! check out their page and their story. everything helps
Nothing will make me laugh harder than Hozier spending an entire verse of First Time being like "my life was saved by the beauty of a bouquet of flowers, do you think flowers realize they're dying once they've been cut? How cruel we are to end the life of something that spent its entire being striving for the simple joy of feeling the sun. Isn't it crazy how they give it their all, trying desperately to be alive and to, if not stave off death, then to go out with beauty and knowing you have nothing left" and then finishing the verse by going "anyways" as if he just said that to you like, in line at the grocery store
I am consumed by fear that my mother might die in Gaza while I am far away, unable to help her. The thought of her suffering alone in such a dangerous place breaks my heart. I feel so helpless and terrified, knowing I can't be there to protect her or bring her to safety. Every day is filled with anxiety and dread, as I hope and pray for her survival amidst the chaos.
This is extremely painful
every day i think i've read the most depraved thing humanly imaginable published in a western media outlet and every day they prove me wrong by publishing something even worse
