Tudo me deixava com medo, pois tudo me levava a pensar em você — e eu vivia com medo de amar.

💬 Just a Small Update, and a Big Thank You

Dear friends, kind hearts, and everyone who has stood with us,

When I first opened my heart to the world and shared our story, I never imagined the amount of love and solidarity we would receive. Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve now reached $12,837—a milestone that brings real light to some very dark days.

From the deepest corners of my heart, thank you.

💔 A Journey of Loss, but Also of Strength

As many of you know, I’ve lost 25 of my loved ones during this devastating war. That grief lives with me every single day. It’s in the silence that once held laughter, in the empty spaces where we once gathered as a family.

But through your help, I’ve also felt something else: hope. And that hope is priceless.

“21/Oct/2023 Before It Reached Us: The Day Our Neighbor’s House Was Destroyed” A quiet moment of fear, filmed just before everything changed.

“22/Oct/2023 The Morning After: Our Family Home in Ruins” This is what was left behind after the bombing of our home.

🌿 What Life Looks Like for Us Now

Despite everything, we’re still here. Still surviving. Still hoping.

But things have only gotten harder.

The war has returned, more brutal than before—and for over a month now, Gaza has been completely sealed off. No food is coming in. No medical supplies. No aid. No trade. No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter.

We’re trapped.

🏚 We live with the fear of tomorrow, every single day. Airstrikes, drones, and the uncertainty of what might happen next. 👨‍👩‍👧 Our family is forever changed—we haven’t just lost people; we’ve lost pieces of ourselves. 📉 Basic needs go unmet—even clean water feels like a luxury now. Medicines, if they exist at all, are unreachable.

And yet…

Your support reminds us that we’re not forgotten. It reminds us that someone, somewhere, is still listening. That someone still cares. That we’re not completely alone in this.

Every message. Every share. Every dollar. It tells us: You’re walking this road with us. And that gives us the strength to keep going.

💖 What You Can Do

If you’ve already donated—thank you beyond words. If you can share our story again, it could reach someone who can help.

Even $5 means warmth, comfort, and a chance to breathe a little easier.

✨ Why It All Matters

This isn’t just about reaching a fundraising goal. It’s about surviving war with dignity. It’s about believing in tomorrow. It’s about making sure my daughter grows up knowing that the world did not look away.

Thank you for your kindness, patience, and belief in our humanity. You’ve helped me find my voice—and I will use it to keep hope alive.

🙏 From the Heart: A Quiet Apology

There’s something I need to say—something that’s been on my heart for some time.

When I first began sharing our story, I didn’t know what the right way was. I was scared, grieving, and trying to protect my family in any way I could. I reached out to many people, hoping someone, anyone, would see us. In that process, I now realize I may have overstepped, and I might have made some feel overwhelmed.

If that happened, I am truly sorry.

Please believe me when I say it was never out of disregard or pushiness. It came from a place of fear—fear of being forgotten, fear of not being able to keep my family safe, fear of watching everything I love slip away in silence.

I’m learning as I go. I’ve slowed down. I’m more mindful now, trying to share our journey in a way that feels respectful of the space and hearts of those listening.

If my words ever came at the wrong time, or in the wrong way, I hope you can understand where they came from—and I hope you can forgive me.

Thank you for seeing past my mistakes. Thank you for still being here. It means more than I can ever explain.

“What if I write it and it’s bad-”

WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS GOOD? WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED? WHAT THEN????

[underwaterteeth]

There are stars... stars in your eyes

[underwaterteeth]

It’s 2 AM, and I wonder—

Do I even exist?

Am I just a myth, a fading thought,

Or something you created in your mind?

I exist, but only within these walls.

My creator told me never to break them.

They are here to cage me,

To protect me from myself.

But am I that dangerous?

If I am, then why do I even exist?

Why not let me meet my fate?

"You are not real," my creator said.

Then what am I? A dream? A delusion?

I want to know what’s outside.

I want to feel the wind, see the sky.

I want to love, to live—

But the walls won’t let me.

Am I a monster? A devil?

Or just a mistake?

I grew up watching these walls,

Year after year, they never faded.

They only grew stronger.

Then one day, they were gone.

I was free.

But I didn’t know how to run.

I didn’t know how to love.

Dear reader, tell me—

Did you create me?

Or am I you?

Or are you me?

The walls were my fate,

Always there, just changing shape.

And this time, they were your face, my beloved—

The love that caged me till my end.

[underwaterteeth]

Well, I bet time can someday bring you what they want you to find

You’ve got to grow up and leave the paradise behind

You dream, it comes, it’s gone

But everything will be alright

Everything will be alright.

I can't stop wondering—

why aren't you here anymore,

when just moments ago, you were?

What changed?

Did I?

Did you?

Or was love never enough to keep you?

When people ask about you,

what excuse am I supposed to give?

How do I explain a loss

I don’t understand?

I was never good at hiding my emotions,

never good at swallowing tears.

And now, they spill,

uninvited, unstoppable.

Before you go—

before you disappear into a world without me—

teach me how to exist in yours.

Show me how to breathe without you,

how to wake up to the emptiness,

how to silence your name in my throat.

Teach me how to lose you,

and then—

I’ll let you go.

“I want to feel my life while I’m in it.”

— Meryl Streep

[underwaterteeth]

It hurts to remember the way things used to go — all the moments I knew that would have to end. I could never forget how I felt and how much I wished everything to change. I wanted to see them someday finding me better than that, but sometimes I have a feeling that some things never changed. I feel that my fears are still at the same frequency, just not on the same path.

“Found You”

Feeling every real star

Every single bright star

Wish they could never let you go

You scream, you think, you keep that scar

Your brain burns, and you can’t close the door

Used to think twice when seeing a car

But now you want something more

You want something more

You want something more

—

It’s okay, ‘cause you still have hope

—

Every night, you could forget and forgive

Everyone that you knew you would still need

While crashing in the middle of the way

Of somewhere they’d never found

Somewhere, you were far away

—

It’s okay, ‘cause you still have hope

—

Hearing every sound

Falling down to the ground

You crave something else than a life

Craved anything else than a lie

Questioning, pressuring

They expect you to be around

Questioning, pressuring

But have you ever been found?

—

Screaming every time

You can’t believe any crime

You told me how hard you were trying

Wishing all the world to remind

Questioning, pressuring

They expect you to be around

Questioning, pressuring

But could you ever feel found?

—

That day was deeper than your next Monday

Those nights, I know you had to keep it longer

Because I know you better than you do

Broken mind, but they still see you

—

Hearing every sound

Falling down to the ground

You crave something else than a life

Craved anything else than a lie

Questioning, pressuring

They expect you to be around

Questioning, pressuring

But have you ever been found?

—

Have they ever found you?

Have you ever been found?

(I’ll find you)

But have they ever found you?

(I’ll find you)

(I’ll find you)

[underwaterteeth]

And after every rain we’ve been through

I still wish for you to be there

In all of my next seasons.

Saying "bugs" when people ask me what it is that I hate the most because replying with "myself" would kinda ruin the mood

[underwaterteeth]

“Stay Again”

Every word is gone.

I’ll wish again for that feeling to come.

But I’ve failed every time I’ve had it done.

We know, we know.

Something is stuck.

—

Love feels unreal.

It ends again because I know how I feel.

Guess it’s okay to like someone new.

We know, we know.

Something is missing.

—

I just still love you enough.

To always leave the whole world behind

And follow you like I did never mind.

As if I don’t know what we’ll find.

—

I just still love you enough.

To tell you how easy it is for me to forget.

Every hand I’ve touched and then left.

All because of the heaven I’ve met.

—

It hurts like hell.

I’ll keep on trying to figure out my brain.

Missing you is alright, so what do I gain?

We know, we know.

Everything is wrong.

—

The truth is unfair.

My endless fear got me back right there.

“I love you”, when I somehow don’t care.

We know, we know.

Everything is different.

—

I just still love you enough.

To always leave the whole world behind.

And follow you like I did never mind.

As if I don’t know what we’ll find.

—

I just still love you enough.

To tell you how easy it is for me to forget.

Every hand I’ve touched and then left.

All because of the heaven I’ve met.

—

I still love you enough.

I still love you enough.

—

At least I’ll find one more way.

I’ll let it go, and I’ll smile again.

So many nights, why do I still carry this pain?

Why do I still wish it to be hidden every day?

It hurts like hell; I don’t really know why.

But when I close my eyes,

I forget every reason why I still stay.

I can’t remember your name when I lay.

—

I hope you know that I always stay.

I’ll think of you again; I’ll always stay.

I would forever forget every star that made me survive, just to always remember how alive I feel when your eyes shine.
