Have patience with yourself. Nobody got better overnight. You’ll get wherever you need to be in time. Every day that you survive is a step forward. You have survived many tough days that you thought wouldn’t pass. Be proud. Keep going. ♥️

“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in three kilos of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a limit on food? I’ve worked in many places with extreme hunger, but what’s so jarring in this context is how cruel it is, how deliberate. I was in Gaza for two months; there’s no way to describe the horror of what’s happening. And I say this as a pediatric ICU doctor who sees children die as part of my work. Among our own staff we have doctors and nurses who are trying to treat patients while hungry, exhausted. They’re living in tents. Some of them have lost fifteen, twenty members of their families. In the hospital there are kids maimed by airstrikes: missing arms, missing legs, third degree burns. Often there’s not enough pain medication. But the children are not screaming about the pain, they’re screaming: ‘I’m hungry! I’m hungry!” I hate to only focus on the kids, because nobody should be starving. But the kids, it just haunts you in a different way. When my two months were finished, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced in nearly twenty years of humanitarian assignments. But I felt ashamed. Ashamed to leave my Palestinian colleagues, who were some of the most beautiful and compassionate people that I’ve ever met. I was ashamed as an American, as a human being, that we’ve been unable to stop something that is so clearly a genocide. I remember when our bus pulled out of the buffer zone. Out the window on one side I could see Rafah, which was nothing but rubble. On the other side was lush, green Israel. When we exited the gate, the first thing I saw was a group of Israeli soldiers, sitting at a table, eating lunch. I’ve never felt so nauseous seeing a table full of food.”

Aqsa Durrani is a pediatric doctor and board member of Doctors Without Borders USA, with nearly twenty years of experience in humanitarian projects. During our interview Aqsa repeatedly expressed a desire to center the voices of her Palestinian colleagues. To this end I’ve spent the past week collecting stories from the Palestinian staff of Doctors Without Borders in Gaza. I will be sharing these stories over the next several days. I’m so grateful for the time that these people gave me; they were sleepless, hungry, traumatized, and often working 24-hour shifts. Because of the unreliable internet connection their images are sometimes grainy. Their words, however, will be crystal clear.

Pray about it. Your mood swings, your temper, your ego, your insecurities, your mindset, your emotional state, your environment, your relationships, your lack of motivation, your lack of execution, ur attraction to bad people. Give Allah every piece of you. Pray about it all. 🤍

Delayed gratification has taught me a lot about the importance of seasons.
You’re not behind. You’re right on time. You have to run your race and trust that when your season comes the bloom will be plentiful.
Trust the timing of your life. And clap for others in their season!

Adult friendship is literally just you sending random reels to your bestie. No constant texting / phone calls, late replies mostly, and have brunch/dinner prolly like once / twice every 2-3 months.

Lagi nating tandaan na MAGKAIBA ang nilalarawan ng WIND signal at RAINFALL warning.

Malalaman natin sa wind signal NUMBER kung gaano KALAKAS at KAILAN darating ang HANGIN.

Malalaman sa rainfall warning COLOR kung gaano KARAMI ang ULAN, at kung TATAGAL pa ba ang BUHOS nito.
