🌸 From One Mother’s Heart – Please Read 🌸

My name is Saja. I’m a wife, a mother, and a woman who once believed her story would be simple. I thought my days would be filled with watching my daughter grow — from her first smile to her first steps — surrounded by the small joys of everyday life.

But life had other plans.

War has returned to our home. Again. And once again, we find ourselves living under skies that never seem to rest.

There was a moment — a fragile, breathless moment — when the bombs paused and the world seemed to remember us. It gave us hope. We thought maybe, just maybe, we could start to rebuild. But now, we are back in the dark — hiding, holding on, praying.

I’m writing this not as someone seeking pity, but as a mother who has no other choice but to speak.

Imagine holding your baby in the middle of the night, not because she cried, but because the world outside roared too loud for either of you to sleep. Imagine whispering bedtime stories not to lull her into dreams, but to keep the fear from settling into her tiny bones.

This is my life.

This is my daughter’s life.

And even now — especially now — I believe in softness. I believe in kindness. Because when everything else is taken from you, hope becomes the most valuable thing you have.

Why I’m Reaching Out Our home has been damaged. Our lives changed. But through it all, my daughter wakes up every morning with a smile. She reaches for me with trust, with love, with faith that I will keep her safe.

That’s why I keep going.

I’ve launched a campaign to ask for help — not because it’s easy, but because silence is no longer an option. I am asking for support not just for me, but for my baby, and for the quiet strength of so many mothers like me who are fighting, every single day, to hold their families together.

How You Can Help: 🤍 Help us restore parts of our home so we can live with dignity 🤍 Support women and mothers in Gaza with access to care and resources 🤍 Keep the light of hope alive for a generation born in the shadows of war

💛 If you can, please support our journey here:

If you can’t give, please consider sharing. Your voice might be the reason someone else hears ours.

From My Heart to Yours Maybe our lives are worlds apart. Maybe you’ve never lived through war. But if you’ve ever held a child and wished the world could be better for them — then you understand more than you know.

I don’t want my daughter to grow up thinking the world turned away.

Please, if you’ve read this far — thank you. Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for caring. We are still here. Still hoping. Still holding on to every kind act like it’s a lifeline.

With love and endless gratitude

[aphoras]

if you kin oliver from maybe happy ending do you listen to jazz tracks that someone once near and dear to you recommended you listen to?

[aphoras]

this is real.

never going to be normal about this show

[aphoras]

true and real… but i also would’ve thought that oliver would’ve had some idea of who laufey is already :’)

Claire would have definitely introduced Oliver to Laufey and gotten him obsessed w her

someone needs to make an edit of them to while you were sleeping (or while you were charging ig)

[aphoras]

yeah alcohol is cool but have you ever been someone's first choice? me neither. pass the bottle.

[aphoras]

pack it up maybe happy ending, we know it’s you

autistics vs hyperfixating on musicals that end of having the two main leads fall in love knowing it wont last forever

[aphoras]

unfortunately this is quite global and not limited to the west… celebrity and stan culture in foreign countries tend to be sensationalized where i’m from

i think western celebrity worship culture is such a strange prison. Free yourself. You will become an entirely different person if you just let go of these people who will never care about you, about us as a whole. Go for a walk. Read a book. Paint, dance, forget about them. go watch a foreign film. go watch an old film or an indie film from a director you've never heard of. Look at all the different faces. Find peace in the fact that you recognize none of them.

[aphoras]

celebrity worship kills and so whenever i see cult like influence or dynamics i fucking seethe

[aphoras]

in the big ‘25…

i am so tempted to adapt the szin artstyle (since szin has retired from making musical animatics) so i can make maybe happy ending animatics. this is how i fell in love with musical theatre. i am giving love to my favourite musical (maybe happy ending) by making animatics of it.

and maybe one day some kid will stumble upon it and that will be part of their memory.
