friends theres a whole world out there that's ours to explore! so many beautiful creations, movies to watch, books to read, food to taste, sights to see. you'd be surprised how much time we have for those things even with a full time job when we simply stare at our phones less
when the ceasefire is officially announced, remember that the people of gaza are going to need our help, donations, and support to rebuild. the palestinians will need ur voices to be fully liberated from the occupation. remember, we said from the river to the sea.
recently i've been thinking of how memories are smoothened by our minds, even the most stressful times are now tinted with nostalgia and longing. maybe the secret is living today as if we're reliving it, like it's a memory we chose to come back to. it's a practice of gratitude.
we get stuck in the toxic cycles of shame and guilt, recycle the same self-deprecating thoughts over and over again. often in our search for endless love we fail to realise all the love waiting for us at the door, for us to unlock it and allow it all in. love is always around.
so much of our life is spent ruminating over small things, we fail to see the beauty of the world unfolding before us. you can take a stressed person to see the most magnificent scenery and they will not be able to appreciate it as their mind is filled with such worries.
this year i wish to become a person who treasures the mundanity of life, who will find beauty in the calm. i wish to focus rather on myself, on how everything feels to me, to listen to my body and heart and finally get to know who i truly am.
my new year's resolution for 2025 is to be more intentional. to pay attention to my every action, to not just see but look. to treat each day as a special one, and savor the slow moments hidden in the mundanity of life. i wish to be more purposeful with what i choose to consume.
we get caught up in trying to live life to the fullest that we center productivity in our lives and forget all the moments in between. putting on a podcast as we do chores, squeezing phone calls in commutes, we try to fill each moment with something and forget how good slow feels
posting this after being ia for months.. so sorry friends my full time job has been hard to adjust to i'll be getting back to writing soon, and happy 2025! 🤍🫂
i love media in which i don't particularly like the characters but they're portrayed in such a vulnerable and human way that i sympathize with them anyway, simply because of the all-encompassing nature of human feelings; of grief in particular, and also of shame, regret, love.
