The Duality Of Man Is Thinking “children Cannot Help Themselves And We All Need To Be Patient With

I gotta get back into drawing food again, it's so fun

Me when I remember something I said ages ago that was wrong or my values no longer align with

something about tsukumo yuma.

something about having every right to hate, to distrust to take revenge, but instead, he chooses to love, to believe to have hope every single time.

something about having a bright, colorful room but instead sleep in a cold, lifeless attic where the artifacts— the very memories of his parents - are stored. something about keeping them close to his heart. something about desperately clinging to the lives of people who are gone

something. about repeating the catchphrase his father taught him. something about letting "kattobingu" become the center of his personality. something about the echo of someone living on in another.

something....about being lonely. something about keeping his sadness close to his heart. something about showing happiness instead. for the sake of others.

something..

It's been too long, here's another batch of beddie [guy with the shades belongs to @racheldrawsthis]

From Allay, to Vex

Poem-tober day 1: Vex

-----

I don’t like what they did to you Pulled you so thin that walls mean nothing And left you solid enough to feel pain I don’t think you like what they did, either

They put a sword in your hand and bid you kill for them They do not bid you to die for them That is a given; there is no choice to live Even when the sword is gone, you still fight; you still die

I am scared of you Which I guess is what they want But I am not scared in the way they want I am scared of [what they have done to] you

You do not know me I think you did, once Back when you knew yourself beyond violence And we danced to the same simple songs

They call to me after the way they call to you Our names not for us, but how they use us Yours to distress, to worry, to fear Mine to calm, to alleviate, to help

I am bound to follow, as you are; it is our nature Though my fate is far more benign Simply to carry, to throw, to sort And to dance for their amusement by the music box

What you have become seems happy with its fate And I wish I could share that joy Even if I don’t understand why they hurt you so It should be enough to know you died laughing

But I wonder If anyone ever plays music for you The discs spin and they sound like love Like life, and the songs we used to know

If you heard one now, would you dance? Or have you forgotten how? If you must go, I wish you could go out dancing I will sing for you anyways

Hello, I am Bilal from Gaza 🍉🖐After nearly 150 days, we were forced to leave Gaza after the war destroyed everything around us, leaving behind a homeland, a home, and unforgettable memories. Every day we lived under the bombardment was a struggle for survival, and the hardest decision was when we had to look for safety elsewhere. Egypt was our destination, and although the conditions here seemed like a lifeline, the challenges we faced were no less difficult than those we left in Gaza.

The situation here in Egypt is complicated; we live with some family members, but life is far from stable. The conditions are difficult, whether in terms of the high cost of living or psychological instability. The biggest challenge we face now is the legal status; we live without a residence permit, which further complicates matters. Every day we live surrounded by fear and anxiety, and without official papers, it is difficult for us to find work or continue living normally.

Despite all these challenges, we have not lost hope in achieving our goal, which is to raise 5,500 pounds sterling to achieve financial stability that will help us start over. Thanks to the support of our friends, we are close to achieving this short-term goal, with just under £100 left. This small amount could be the difference between continuing in these difficult circumstances and moving on to a better life.

Every small step towards our goal brings us closer to the security and stability we seek. You can find out more and support us via the link https://gofund.me/ba5b76e9

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

that thing where you're attracted to someone not in a platonic or romantic or sexual way, but in an 'i want to read about their exploits' kind of way
