getting to that time of the year where the sun will straight up project childhood memories onto your bedroom wall at about 3 or 4 pm

This tweet snaps against my mind like a rubber band whenever I start idling a little too long in the land of my frivolous doldrums… it’s my version of that Jemima Kirke “you all think about yourselves too much” screenshot

What Strength Really Means 💪

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔

And I'm now waiting to be Vetted by @gazavetters 🙏
