Dear tumblr diary

Everyone’s traveling for Easter and I’m wondering how will I deal with the vacation questions when we get back. I haven’t gone anywhere, ideas?

moist regards

Alright, since the media have been purposely ignoring the genocide happening right now in Gaza. Here’s a few links covering it in English!

And very very importantly this site made my Palestinians to answer FAQs in English

[theselflearner]

hi all, palestine’s going through a mass genocide right now and really needs help, here are a few ways you can do that

palestine children’s relief fund: provide urgent humanitarian care for children in gaza

anera: provide on-the-ground emergency relief

united nations relief and works agency: food assistance and emergency physical+mental help

medical aid for palestinians: emergency relief for women and children, psychosocial support, disability help, other medical needs

doctors without borders: medical teams on the ground treating injured palestinians as needed

feel free to add on in the notes, notify me if any of the fundraisers listed arent necessary/actually helpful to donate to, and let me know if anything needs added on/modified

as always, if you cant donate then please share and spread awareness

this is a message for everyone who is 22. if you’re 22 please stop worrying. take a deep breath eat a bagel maybe. everything that feels impossible is going to work itself out. have a great day

I really feel that this semester, I've made so much progress in my university studies. I'm starting to embrace the idea that I am actually good at it. That I have a future.

It can be so hard to come to terms with the fact that you are the person in charge of your narrative.

If you tell yourself you feel like you don't belong, you are never going to feel welcome. But if you challenge yourself to suspend judgement, just take a chance at not assuming what the world thinks, you just might realise that the only person making you feel unworthy is yourself.

You get to decide.

Take that chance.

Stay safe and be kind,

Love Bean xx

Random Line: To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in you may never get over it as long as you live…

Hey, I just came across your recent studyblr post and I just wanted to say: blocking your exes isn't toxic, it's the normal thing to do to get over them! So don't feel bad over doing what you need to do to feel at peace! I hope your exams turned out well. Have a nice day!

Hey, thank you for your message 🤍 I really appreciate it. It’s nice to hear that I wasn’t overthinking it.

My exam actually got cancelled (by the grace of gOD) so I have some more time and I won’t waste it.

I’d like to add... you can post on social media for you. Stop thinking what people might think, if it’s good enough etc etc. your social media is for you.

honestly...it’s ok to just use your skills on yourself! sewing clothes only you to wear, making art to hang up in your own personal area, singing and recording songs for you only to listen to...like not everything has to be for other people’s consumption!

I hate myself today. but that’s okay. there were other days that I loved myself and my life, and today is just not that kind of day. it doesn’t mean anything. it doesn’t negate those other days. I just have to get on with my life, and i will get those feelings back again. i can’t think myself out of thoughts.

My exam is in 2 days and I’m in cramming mood. 

I took a few breaths,  turned off my notifications, took a walk, and repeated affirmations to myself. I think I’m better now.
