Hey, if you’re not as mentally quick as you used to be because of your illness- that’s okay. If you’re can’t think as fast or handle as many tasks that’s okay. You aren’t stupid, you aren’t unintelligent, and you aren’t less worthy of love or respect. It’s okay that your brain won’t or can’t go back to how it used to be. It’s different now, but it’s okay.

i think too many people operate under the assumption that emotions are some frivilous fantasy of the mind and have no impact on the physical world, which is a cute thought when Humans are an animal that can die from being kinda stressed out

Rachel Eliza Griffiths, from Seeing the Body: Poems; “Name”

[Text ID: “Sometimes, it was love or art / that left me crawling in a tunnel. Sometimes I saw / choke-chains slither with my own hatred. The desire / to will myself blind so that I could not see / my face except in shadow.”]

nothing about killing innocents and children is patriotic. equating being anti-war to not being patriotic enough is crazy. we hope for de-escalation because we care about our people in the armed forces, do not want innocent people to die any more than they already do and do not believe that lives of people, especially in jammu & kashmir are "collateral"

and no, we are not fine with children anywhere being shelled to death. it's not being "too woke" its just having a conscience and not dickriding your government just because it gives you internet 🙏

Power begins the war, but grief never ends it. The roots of scorched trees entwine themselves in your subconscious, and the grief in your heart waters them forever. The image of all that is broken, the shattered walls, the torn limbs, the aching hearts, finds a home within you. And time doesn’t erase the damage, it only deepens it, until one day, you look in the mirror and see the war staring back.

Some people light up the darkest corners of your being just by existing. You are that light for me. There's a peace in knowing that somewhere in this world, I have a safe corner to return to, a place that feels like home. You are that place for me.

A place is not only a geographical area; it's also a state of mind. And trees are not just trees; they are the ribs of childhood.
