self-care is spending 90% of your day absorbed in fictional worlds/characters to avoid thinking about or engaging with your very real problems

Maturity is seeing rejection as divine redirection and protection because what's meant for you will never say "no" and turn you away. A person who is okay with rejection is a very powerful person.

Be patient. Be patient. Be patient. Be patient.

I learned a beautiful new word yesterday

"11,078 and counting have died in Palestine. Never stop talking.

Also this is just the surface, do further research to fully understand the situation.

That's enough money to give every homeless American 24 THOUSAND DOLLARS

That's enough money to give 43 dollars to the ENTIRE U.S. POPULATION.

That's enough to fully treat ~95,000 Cancer Patients for FREE.

This is where your tax dollars go.

NOT schools.

NOT Protection.

NOT Healthcare.

NOT Homes and shelter.

NOT Science and Medicine.

NOT the potholes in your roads.

NOT your retirement or your future.

You are being made to pay for Genocide while your own people die.

pray about it. your mood swings, your temper, your ego, your insecurities, your mindset, your self-love, your emotional state, your environment, your relationships, your lack of motivation, your lack of execution, your attraction to bad people. give God every piece of you and every vessel. pray about it all. power of prayer is indescribable.

There’s definitely truth here. Ibn Qayyim mentioned people who struggle with patience but wish to have it by saying,

“If a person does not naturally possess the characteristic of patience, he can attain this characteristic by acting as if he does possess it, until it eventually becomes second nature.

This is what the Prophet (ﷺ) has told us in the hadith, "Whoever tries to be patient, then Allah will help him to be patient."

i want to be loved like the women i read about. like i’m the person they would do anything for. the person they look for in everyone else and everywhere they go because they can’t get her out of their heads. the person their entire being burns for. the person they are patient with, even when she’s rambling, being emotional or sick. the person they go out of their way for, over and over again, because it’s her. the person they love. the person they… love and keep loving.

The only thing stronger than Antisemitism in the American right wing, is their Islamophobia.

If they ever realized many Palestinians are Christians, the tables would turn real quick.

To all the Jewish people now siding with the right wing and spreading their violent bs everywhere, remember this: they hate us.

They only tolerate and support us when the "enemy" is someone they hate more.

Before the UK and European colonizers created Israel, Palestine was a land where Muslims, Christians and Jews lived together; once Israel was established, Israeli forces started stealing land, houses and belongings from Palestinians of the "wrong religion" to make space for European Jews.

This started in 1917, long before WWII and Nazi Germany.

Since then, Israel has displaced millions of Palestinians, killed and imprisoned thousands.

When in 2018 Palestinians peacefully marched, the biggest peaceful march in the world, Israel shot them.

When in 2014 Israel bombed Gaza, Israeli civilians gathered in cities nearby with binoculars and popcorn to enjoy the show.

Little Israeli children wrote their names on the rockets.

Israel has killed over 3000 Palestinian children in the last 20 years alone.

Israel destroyed Gaza's only airport in 2001 (and is currently bombing the only escape point into Egypt; they are trapped)

Israli soldiers officially left the Gaza Strip in 2005, but the Israeli government still has control of Gaza's water, electricity, road/routes for the arrival of food, fuels, medicine, etc.

Gaza is the world's biggest concentration camp, under Israeli control.

As a Jew, I don't say this lightly. But there is no other word for it.

I will never call Gaza a "prison", because in most societies prisons are filled with criminals; the Palestinians are innocent people forced into a concentration camp, turned into an extermination camp.

And before you start: Israel created Hamas. And Hamas is a recent political development. Palestinias have been suffering since long before its creation.

Recently, in 2019 Netanyahu, Israel's current prime minister, said that the only way to stop the creation of a Palestinian State was to SUPPORT Hamas.

(The other political party in Palestine wanted peace BUT at the condition that Palestine be recognized as an independent State; Israel couldn't tolerate that, so they supported Hamas, which was for armed resistance against apartheid... Israel literally chose the continuation of violence because they couldn't tolerate Palestinian freedom)

He also defended Hitler, saying he wasn't antisemitic, he was just controlled by Palestinian forces.

And today, Netanyahu is acting like Hitler, trying to create a "breathing space" for Israel like Hitler tried to do for Germany.

As a Jew, I cannot stand with this. I cannot stand with apartheid. I cannot stand with genocide. I cannot stand with colonization.

And you, right wing or left wing... don't you ever dare say "Never again!" from now on if you side with Israel.

"Never again!" is happening right now.

There can be no peace without justice. No justice without freedom. No freedom without colonizers giving back stolen land.

No other people in the world was ever given the right and international permission to create a theocratic ethnostate at the cost of innocent lives.

Israel has violated international law and committed war crimes for the past century, with the blessing of the Western World.

This is unforgivable.

Israel has lied about Israeli children being locked in cages: it was actually Palestinian children in Israeli cages, and international media, which of course ran with it, had to issue a correction.

It has lied about Israeli children being beheaded. The government of Israel and the White House then issued a correction: there is no proof of such thing.

It has lied about dead Israeli hostages, when their families have come out saying they are still alive, they have spoken with them and they are being treated in Gazan hospitals... which Israel is currently targeting and bombing.

What I have seen with my own eyes, is videos of Hamas soldiers help Israeli children, putting clothes on them, rocking them to sleep, giving the water.

What I have seen, is videos of Israeli hostages who were quickly let go say how nice the Hamas soldiers were with them.

What I have seen, is the video of an Israeli woman and Hamas soldiers telling her "No one will harm you! Tell them this is the humanity of Palestinians" as she and her children were let go without incident.

What I have seen, is videos of Palestinian children without a head: this morning Israel ordered them to live the north of Gaza before they would bomb it again in 24 hours; Palestinians obeyed... and Israel bombed them as they marched south. Israel lied. It was a trap. Children blown to bits.

What I have seen, is videos of dead Palestinian civilians and Israeli pissing on their corpses while cheering.

What I have seen, is videos of mutilated Palestinian civilians and Israeli driving their cars over them while cheering.

What I have seen is videos of armed Israeli civilians shooting at unarmed Palestinians (the Israeli where given guns by the IDF).

What I have seen is countless videos of injured and dead Palestinian children (over 600 were killed in the last 6 days)

What I have seen, is Israeli soldiers pouring concrete on water springs to make sure no water can reach Gaza in any way possible (water in Gaza is 97% undrinkable already; now Israel has cut it off altogether and eliminated all natural resources of it as well)

War crime after war crime after war crime.

Israel says "release the hostages!" while keeping thousands of Palestinians in Israeli prisons for "secret motives" and "concerns" (which is the whole reason why 100 hostages were taken in the first place: to be exchanged).

Israel says "release the hostages!" but it has already killed 13 of them with their bombs.

Israel is targeting hospitals, refugee camps, residential buildings, even ambulances.

Israel is using white phosphorus, which is illegal according to international law.

It has just used it on a children's hospital.

It had also bombed and killed people in Syria and Lebanon.

Egypt knew the attack from Hamas was coming, and told Netanyahu. He did nothing.

He wanted this to happen so that he could start a "war" and exterminate Palestinians once and for all.

It's not really a war. Not when the oppressor has the 4th best military force in the world, nuclear power, the Iron Dome and billions of dollars in international support from the US... while the oppressed have homemade rockets, no water, no electricity, no fuel.

It's a genocide.

When will it be enough for the Western world to condemn it?

I and many other Jewish people stand for a free Palestine ✊🏾✡️️🇵🇸

Don’t limit yourself. Get involved with life, dive into things that you’re curious about! Successful people don’t just ‘choose’ the right thing from the beginning, They maximize their exposure to opportunity and in doing so, they increase their odds of serendipitous encounters. Leave no door unopened. Good luck!

THREE MONTHS TIL 2020 I CANT BELIEVE IM ALIVE FOR THIS

STOP! TELLING! PEOPLE! THAT! NO! ONE! WILL! LOVE! THEM! UNTIL! THEY! LOVE! THEMSELVES! STOP! PLANTING! THE! IDEA! IN! PEOPLES! BRAINS! THAT! THEY! ARE! UNWORTHY! OF! LOVE! BECAUSE! OF! THEIR! OWN! STRUGGLE!

I really can’t believe I’ve been on this hell site for 8 years

Impart me in your wisdom of ancient times

one time there was a tumblr user with the url “pizza” and she would just comment on any text post about pizza saying “omg that’s me” and then we found out she had an entire tag dedicated to saying the n word

One time somebody paid $750 for the url ‘hi’ and got deleted in less than a year for promoting weight loss scams

you can see that, right?

Mina El Hammani and Miguel Bernardeau

If you see someone with something that you’ve always wanted - whether it’s a job, good grades, loving parents, loving spouse, material or non material things, whatever it may be - and you feel that pang in your heart; a slow burn, a light stab, then invoke the blessing of Allah. Ask Allah to bless them in what they have, to protect them from the evil eye. And also ask Allah to grant you what you’ve been wanting. There’s nothing impossible with Allah.

This can easily happen even with those whom we dearly love. Our emotions are sometimes beyond our control. We can’t always stop our hearts from wanting what it wants. But we can keep it pure and clean. Every time you see someone with something you long for, ask Allah to bless them in it. That is how you exercise dua, keep the love between you intact, and this is how you keep your heart pure.

May Allah purify our hearts, fulfill our wishes so long as it pleases Him and may Allah never make us the cause of someone else’s grief. Ameen.

this is iconic

This shit is so hilarious
