a good way to inspire yourself to do more is to see yourself as the wacky sitcom B plot character in your friends lives, "wouldnt it be funny to tell the friends in my phone about it." has gotten me to do anything from going to a festival (excelent) to wild camping (it went badly) (coastguard called) to trying to get the train to stonehenge (stonehenge costs money so i ended up just getting lunch in sailsbury, it was okay.) i bought a bicycle today and 20% of my reasoning was "itd be funny to surprise my roommate by coming home with a whole bike." . life is for living. and baby i live for the bit.
“What other people think and say about you is none of your business. The most destructive thing you would ever do is to believe someone else’s opinion of you. You have to stop letting other people’s opinions control you.”

How i look when I see a loud noise
hi everyone, mahmoud (@hillesmahmoud) has reached out to me and asked me to share his story with you all. mahmoud has been living as a refugee in belgium for 7 years. this, unfortunately, means that he has been separated from his wife and four beautiful children for this long, even missing the birth of his youngest child. additionally, his wife suffers from kidney issues and had to have her left kidney removed before the war.
now, his wife and children have been enduring genocide for 11 months without him. he is forced to worry every day for the safety and of his family who he hasn't seen in years from thousands of miles away. in addition, his wife has been suffering due a lack of medical infrastructure due to her need for treatment for her kidney. mahmoud is haunted by the possibility of her succumbing to her illness and leaving his children orphaned and displaced.
as of september 4th, €24,988 / €37,000 has been raised to evacuate mahmoud's family to egypt and fund treatment for his wife. additionally, his fundraiser is verified by nabulsi here. any amount you're able to donate, even just €5, makes a difference. if you're unable to donate, please reblog or otherwise share mahmoud's story and fundraiser so that he may see a day where he and his family are safely and happily reunited.
What I am about to write, Madam, may shock you no end. However, I am determined to lay bare before you a confession - my own - and to describe in detail the terrible crime I have committed.

I'm Raneen, a mother of three children: Mohammed, Rami, and Julia, currently living in Gaza. My husband, Mahmoud, traveled to Egypt for work three days before the war broke out, leaving us alone. I have struggled greatly with the kids; we’ve had to flee from the north to the center, then to Rafah, and back again.🇵🇸
We are living in extremely difficult conditions. My daughter Julia suffers from severe chest allergies,💔 and her condition has worsened due to the war’s aftermath. I can’t provide their basic needs because of the scarcity of resources and rising prices.💔🍉
Please, help me care for my children. There is no safe place in Gaza; everywhere is at risk at any moment. I am trying to get to Egypt to join my husband, but it requires a significant amount of money. I have lost our home and all our sources of income.
I trust in your humanity, and I kindly ask for your support. Please don’t turn away from us. Help us achieve our goal of leaving Gaza and finding safety for my children 💔🇵🇸
