okay… here goes;
my friend once told me that the strongest people are usually the ones who never got the love they deserved at the age they needed it most.
they grew up learning to be their own comfort. they became the ones who check on others because nobody checked on them.
they mastered resilience not because they wanted to be strong, but because every time they reached out,
no one reached back.
they laugh the loudest, because silence reminds them of every room they cried in alone. they give the best advice, because they had to heal themselves without directions.
they are soft, painfully soft even though life taught them hardness first.
and the saddest part?
you meet them today and think:
“wow, you’re so independent.” but you’ll never see the little kid inside who prayed for at least one person to choose them… and stay.
there are people you know right now who carry their entire world alone, and you will never notice until it crashes.
oh well, that’s none of your business.
but maybe it should be.🫶🏽
@airtelindia I paid my Airtel bill by scanning the QR code in the bill email and the money was debited from my bank account as well. However, it’s not reflected in the account and neither do I have a refund.
nearly 30% of the population of Amsterdam, an estimated quarter of a million people, flood the streets of the city wearing red in solidarity with Palestine.
"It is a responsibility to think for a moment and stand beside Palestine. I might upset my country but it doesn't matter anymore," says Indian filmmaker Anuparna Roy after winning Best Director award in the Orizzonti section at Venice Film Festival.

Daily headlines here are like wife set on fire by husband, wife chopped to death by husband, wife r*ped by husband's family, but men's right activists think there is no bigger injustice than men being *sometimes* expected to pay alimony.
Rarely does a story hold you so tightly that you can’t look away. This one did.
On a nun who took on a bishop, and the trial that shook India’s Catholic Church.
Thank you @NidhiSuresh_ for this breathtaking piece of journalism. I'm ever so proud of you❤️ https://t.co/lrftFIBP9n
Ask any lady in Delhi whether she has a greater fear of stray dogs or the men on the street, and I think you will understand their most important issues are not about actual canines.
idk who needs to hear this but focus on yourself. not everything is worth fighting for and leaves you fighting to keep your sanity instead. don’t drain yourself worrying about those who could care less about how you feel.
No matter how much we discuss the value of mental health but when you're depressed, others often back away, seeing you as too negative, burdensome or difficult to manage.
The best way to remember people who hurt you is to remember them by what hard lesson they taught you, instead of what feelings you harbour for them.
Most people end up hurting others not out of malice, but because of their own incapacities.
In such cases, it is futile to carry an emotion for the person. Remember them by what lesson they taught you - that puts the focus back on you and your growth, instead of it being on them.
