‘How can I help from Europe?’ a small guide made by @/nnoorxo on Instagram :

Hey folks, this is not your typical post about incorrect quotes.

I want to address a serious issue today, and most of you probably know what’s been going on in the US.

The killing of George Floyd started another serious and necessary debate on Police brutality in the states. (And I think not just there. Every country is affected in some way or another.)

My heart doesn’t ache, no. My heart is bleeding and crying out of pain about what has been going on for days now. What people have been going through for years and years. This is not the first case of police brutality against POC, nor the second, and it probably isn’t the last one.

It happened so many times already that I can’t count them all. Our world has lost so many beautiful souls to this never-ending issue. Additionally to this, we lost so many brothers and sisters of color who were part of the LGBTQ+ community too. Even though it is pride month, I can’t enjoy and celebrate it as much as I want to.

But now is the time to act. Now more than ever! We all have a voice, and I’m sure as hell using mine. And I want you to do the same.

40 Ways you can help right now shows you different techniques and approaches to support the #blacklivesmatter movement in various forms.

Everyone’s able to do something. Even if you don’t have the money to donate, or you’re not from the US, share articles, draw attention to it in some way. Being silent about this puts you on the side of the offenders.

I understand that I will never understand. However, I stand with all of you!!! Credit goes to @sfbucketlist on instagram for these 40 ways you can help right now.

There are people in the whole who care about you. Whether it's your acquaintances who wave hi to you whenever you pass, your best friend who sticks by your side, or the teacher/colleagues that look out for you and ask if you're okay. They all care.

You're allowed to make choices in your life. Even choices you think don't exist because the cons out weigh the pros exist. And sometimes, you have to choose those hard decisions.

Sometimes you have to set boundaries for yourself and that's okay. It's you before others.

Our bodies were created with ripples, textures, smooth and rough, scarred and untouched. Our bodies are home, our bodies are our own. No one can take that away from us.

Being alone on Valentine's day isn't as bad as everyone thinks. You can use this day to do self care and pamper yourself. You could also hang out with your friends. It doesn't have to strictly be for couples.

Walk slowly, take deep breaths, and enjoy life. It doesn't always have to go by so quickly.

The greatest part of you is yourself. Cherish it.

You have your own strengths and the more you explore new hobbies then the more you'll know what you're good at.

You don't need to be in every club, in every sport, or in every social activity if you don't think you could handle it. It's your mental health over activities. Choose you.

Even when life gets rough, try and walk with confidence. You got this. One step after another.

You don't need to lose weight to feel happy about yourself.

I know it's hard to move your body, I know it's hard to even think a thought when your mind is so muddled in grief, I know that—but please, try and get up to do any simple task such as drinking water, moving to a different place in your house, taking a shower/bath, eating a meal, maybe even some simple exercises. It's hard to get out of your slump but the only way out is to do something rather than feel helpless and stuck in your room.

If it takes leaving to fully appreciate what you had then maybe you should've left that situation a long time ago.
