“It’s Like When Someone Says, ‘How Are You?’ Do You Say, ‘Well, My Head Hurts And I’m Lonely

does it hurt to not scroll?

yes, yes it does.

how? in what sense? can you die from it?

i stabbed a book with a bleeding pen. it's ink splattered on my clothes.

i tore the pages with the sharp tip of the writing tool and cut through letters i once wrote.

i tore off a page filled with senseless shit and burned it in the daylight.

the burning flame that seeped from the lighter was dimmer than the sun shining bright. i could not see it.

i thought the tool was broken so i stopped and decided to take a shower.

whilst doing so i pondered. i imagined the lighter i threw away burning up in flames inside the trash bin lighting the house on fire.

yes. yes it does.

My name is Abed.

I’m a survivor from Gaza, holding on to hope in a world that has fallen apart around me. 💔

The life I once knew — my home, my family, my sense of safety — has been shattered by war. Today, I live among the ruins, trying to find a path forward through the rubble and heartbreak. 🏚

Every moment is a battle against fear and uncertainty. What was once ordinary — a safe place to sleep, a future to dream of — now feels like a distant memory. 🕊️

I share my story not to seek pity, but to keep hope alive — to believe that even in the darkest places, kindness can still find a way. 🤍

If my story touches your heart, please consider sharing it or offering support. Every voice, every act of care, brings me one step closer to safety. ✨

Thank you for taking the time to listen. 🙏

do I exist because I exist? or I exist only because I exist?

Scientists have just discovered some rocks at the bottom of the ocean can make oxygen... and they do it in complete darkness!

These aren’t magic stones, they’re polymetallic nodules, potato-sized metal lumps packed with manganese, cobalt, and nickel.

But here’s the twist; when seawater flows over their surfaces, they generate tiny electric currents that can split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. No sunlight, no photosynthesis, just deep-sea chemistry creating breathable gas in the pitch black.

This “dark oxygen” could explain how deep-sea creatures survive in low-oxygen zones far from the surface. What's even wilder is that if this can happen on Earth, it could be happening right now in the hidden oceans of Europa or Enceladus, two icy moons that scientists think might host alien life.

my love life as a song

From my book The Secret Name of Things.

I am an amalgamation of the experiences I have lived, heard, seen, and read.

and the don't forget the stark contrast between love and the (possible) fact that that person you like may be the only true friend that you have.

“There’s a difference between loving the idea of someone and loving the person they really are.”
