On the other, there's this dreadful despair hanging over me, bc I'm 100% getting out of this hurt, heartbroken, and more depressed than ever before. It's not even the fact that he's married. I just know that even if he wasn't, he'd never look at me that way. There's no chance.
I have these insane mood swings now. On one hand, I'm on such a high from all the butterflies, the missing him when he's off work, the yearning, the rush when he talks to me. I haven't been in love with a real human being for the past 15 years, so even the ache feels euphoric.
Palestinian UN Ambassador Riyad Mansour broke down in tears during an emotional speech to the UNSC, describing the “unbearable” suffering of children in Gaza.
.@FerozeSidhwa: "I did not see or treat a single combatant during my five weeks in #Gaza. My patients were six-year-olds with shrapnel through their hearts and bullets in their brains, pregnant women with their pelvises obliterated and their fetuses cut in two while still in the womb. Mothers sheltering in the hospital cooked bread on hot plates in the emergency department during mass casualty events as we dealt with the rain of fire and death falling everywhere. Mr. President, The foundations of life in Gaza���family, health, and community—have been shattered. The medical system has not failed—it has been systematically dismantled through a sustained military campaign that has willfully violated international humanitarian law. Civilians are now dying not just from constant airstrikes, but from acute malnutrition, sepsis, exposure, and despair."
For nearly 80 days, Israel blocked the entry of life-saving international aid into Gaza.
The entire population is facing the risk of famine.
Families are being starved and denied the very basics.
All with the world watching in real time.
Only Israelis can say something like "every baby in Gaza should be butchered mercilessly" and immediately follow with "the difference between us and them, is that we are full of love and they are full of hate".
@jimhalpertstare Like I've known him for almost 2 years! I had all sorts of feelings, fear, anger, annoyance, indifference, empathy at best, but never EVER anything even remotely close to attraction. And suddenly within the last week or so I found myself hoping he would brush against my shoulder.
