American women can only stay with their babies for 6 weeks before they must return to work. This policy was lobbied by Nestle so that American women are forced to buy formula and don't rely on their own breast milk to feed their babies. The American government works for corporations, not their people & until this system dismantles, people aren't going to have babies. This is just common sense.

Tawakkul hits different when you realise this:
You are not chasing rizq. You are living inside it. This realization kills two of the heart's greatest sicknesses:
• Anxiety: If it’s written for you, it’s coming.
• Envy: If it’s written for someone else, it was never yours to begin with.
We spend so much energy worrying about our "security." But your ultimate security is the fact that you are still breathing.
Being stuck in an empty huge mall climbing endless escalators has been a constant theme in my dreams. I didn't think much of it until one day I thought to ask gpt and the explanation was mind-blowing.
@Dyartemis 100% agree and there's no hate or shaming in that whatsoever just simply pure facts. Sad to say my breastfeeding journey traumatised me probably for life.
This is the first time I’ve picked up a brush since the war began!
I wanted to paint the life I dream of, a bright future.
But all tha fills my heart and mind is fear. Hunger. The terror I live everyday in Gaza.
If my voice& words haven’t reached u—
I hope this painting does 🇵🇸
Grave of the Fireflies hits different under the current state of the world. My heart feels like it's going to explode wallahi the pain is unbearable to think there are hundreds of children, my baby's age and younger, dying of starvation as I'm typing this is incomprehensible.
Is it too late for a new years resolution? Cause mine is reciprocating energies please show yoself to the door I ain't gonna even bother with that mkay bye
This book about parenting has an exercise for parents where they present you with a scenario & you have to name the feeling the child is experiencing I couldn't name one feeling 🤡 Hell, I can't define MY own feelings half of the time how am I supposed to do that with my kid?
