i dunno why but people saying they're proud of me who are around my age make me uncomfortable
i just feel like "why are you proud of me?" and i feel like this simple thing or drawing i did is bad
because i feel like people are treating me like a child who needs to be praised
i think that's what i am in the eyes of a lot of people

Is it wrong to want distance from your family… even if you had a good childhood?
If you didn’t lack, if you went to good schools?
But when you grew up you realized you lack… something. And when you left you realized you craved more freedom. Of choice, of talk… You craved talking and being heard. You craved silence to quiet your mind. You craved to be left alone for a bit. Just to reorganize your thoughts.
You crave asking for help, and craved being able to express your feelings. You crave had your feelings validated.
Not that now you show a lot of your feelings. Because since you grew up hiding them, you don’t do it very often…
But you learned that you could give yourself freedom to miss, to make mistakes, and when you do that… the only thing you have to deal with is a slight disappointment in yourself. You gave yourself permission to cry when the need comes. And just cry for the sake of crying. Because maybe that’s all you needed.
But than, your family. They remind you of times where that was what you lacked. And being around them bring back those memories…
Is not that I don’t like them. I just like more who I can be, and how Incan be after I placed some distance between us

something i’ve been thinking about lately is like. growing up muslim right after 9/11 is something i’d never really reflected on much because it was all i’d ever known — at 5, my friend’s mum didn’t let her invite me to her birthday party because i was the only brown girl in our class, at 12, my classmates would joke about my family being part of isis, at 16, my dad was interrogated by american airport security for hours — and it always stung and it always hurt but it was just the way things were because the western world hated muslims. but i don’t think i’ve ever fully comprehended the extent to which we were hated until now.
palestine is being turned into a mass graveyard. every single day there are new photos of the atrocities being carried out against them and videos of them pleading for help and still those who can actually intervene turn a blind eye. israel is claiming to only be targeting hamas “terrorists” while bombing a refugee camp. israeli police raided and assaulted a non-zionist jewish neighbourhood. israeli soldiers are posting tiktoks of them torturing captured palestinians. this is not a complicated issue and it never has been. ethnic cleansing is being committed right in front of us. and yet the western world leaders refuse to call for a ceasefire.
and while zionist organisations accuse pro-palestine demonstrations of anti-semitism, while zionist celebrities insist that they’re afraid to leave their mansions in los angeles, a six year old muslim boy was stabbed to death and his mother wounded in the same attack in chicago. a muslim doctor was murdered while sitting outside her apartment complex in texas. hundreds of peaceful protesters have been arrested (many of whom have been jewish). despite what zionists want you to believe, this is not a jewish/muslim conflict. i have so much love and gratitude to my brave jewish brothers and sisters all over the world who are condemning israel for their actions.
ultimately, israel have been granted impunity by the west. they have slaughtered thousands upon thousands of innocent palestinians. they have bombed hospitals and schools indiscriminately. they have used white phosphorus, violating the geneva convention. they have completely eradicated nearly 900 bloodlines. how many more need to be wiped out? how many more children need to be buried underneath the rubble? how many more doctors need to be confronted with the bodies of their own family members? how many more journalists need to detail the horrific acts of violence they are witnessing? what more can be done to the palestinian people that has not been done already?
i truly believe that palestine will be free one day. i believe the palestinian people will receive the justice they finally deserve. but what breaks my heart is how much they have suffered and will continue to suffer before they are deemed worthy of help. and it would be to all of our detriment if we ignored how much of a factor palestine being a predominantly muslim state has played into the way the world has reacted to their genocide.
