Hi friends!

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me identify this piece of text?

I know it is from a religious text, but I was wondering what the passage itself is.

I have tried to identify the piece myself using technology to no avail, thus I come to you all.

thank you in advance 💖💖

#this is the only page of the text that we have - it is framed on a wall #I am just trying to figure out why my grandma (or her dad) has this framed #I cannot ask family members because my parents don't speak Arabic #my auntie learned Lebanese Arabic when she lived in Beirut for a bit. lucky duck. but she never checks her phone #and the only word on this page I can read is God #languages disappear so quickly from a family :( #I have no idea what to tag this as!

[the-cookie-of-doom]

for a while now, I've really been doubting my career choices with nursing. I know a lot of it is burn out and depression, and being so overwhelmed between work, school, and clinical, that I didn't have time to breathe. I was in the hospital/on campus for 60 hours a week last semester, and that's not counting the time I had to study outside of that. It was awful. I quit my job because of it, I was almost involuntarily committed because of it.

But the scariest part for me has been how much I've hated clinical. It makes me miserable. And that's terrifying, because once I graduate? That's what I'm going to be doing for the rest of my life. So if I already hate it now, what does that mean for my future?

Sometimes, though... Sometimes I'll have a clinical that is just so good, it reminds me of why I'm doing this. Why I'm putting myself through the pain and suffering of becoming a nurse, which is honestly one of the hardest careers a person can have. It's mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausting. It destroys your body and your mental health. Most of the time it's thankless. It doesn't pay nearly enough for what we go through.

Despite all of the reasons there are not to become a nurse, there are some patients that will remind you why it's all worth it anyway.

Last week, I had a crotchety old bitch of a patient. She had been in the hospital for 10 days, was refusing all of her treatments, screamed at anyone that came in her room, and demanded dilaudid around the clock, despite having no injuries to justify it. Everyone hated her. Her own nurses went in her room as little as possible; I think in the entire 12 hours I was there, her nurse spent maybe a total of 20 minutes in her room. I was in there for hours. A couple minutes at a time in the beginning just so she could warm up to me. Then I spent 2 straight hours at her bedside just talking to her. Letting her tell me her life story. Which was tragic, of course, and no wonder she was so run down and bitter and wanted to get high off narcotics. She was miserable, lonely, and in chronic pain from a body that was deteriorating around her.

So I spent as much time with her as possible. Sure enough, she didn't ask me for any pain medications a single time, once she realized she could trust I was going to look after her. I Explained her medications and her treatments, and the reasoning behind them. I offered to reach out to out chaplain when I noticed she was hyper focused on some televangical broadcast. I got her to call her son to come visit her. I got her to agree to take her medications and allow us to take blood sample for her labs, which were days overdue. I got her up and working with physical therapy so she could start walking again.

By the end of the day, that patient loved me. Not a single complaint all day, she wasn't screaming down the halls and cursing everyone's existence. She was still crotchety and mean in that way old hillbillies are, but she wasn't angry. She wasn't lashing out. She was finally being cooperative. All because I took the time to talk to her and offer her company.

Tonight, I had a shift in our mental health unit. There was a patient who I noticed was very withdrawn and avoiding everyone, mostly just standing in a corner at the end of the hall, by a window. I went down and talked to him. Kind of stilted at first, but slowly he opened up to me. I really only meant to talk for a few minutes, mostly for my own sake, to get used to interacting with mental health patients like this.

Instead, we talked for hours. Nearly 3 hours straight at the start of the day alone, and then more throughout the day. My feet were killing me by the end of it, but it was completely worth it to see the way this poor guy came to life. We talked about everything from social topics like music and movies, to his medications and treatments, and how to manage his depression once he leaves. Something I was able to connect with him about on a personal level in a way his nurse hadn't, because I've been living with depression for a decade, I've been on antidepressants, and I understand. I think that was the point it clicked for him, when he really started reaching out to me, instead of answering when I prompted him. Because humans need connection and understanding.

By the end of the day he was talking freely and smiling nearly non-stop. We'd made plans for him to get back into an old hobby he hadn't touched in years, and he seemed genuinely excited to start it back up again. He was nearly bouncing in place when I went to say goodbye to him at the end of the night, and thanked me for talking to him all day. Even the staff nurses noticed the way his demeanor had completely changed.

Another patient (my actual patient for the night) started the day very combative. To the point she had to be redirected to her room (not locked up, just strongly encouraged to go and cool down). She was screaming at everyone, having some very serious and severe delusions. Same story; I talked to her throughout the day, little bits whenever she was feeling calm. I noticed she had a tattoo from an old semi-niche XBox game I used to play, and we bonded over that. By the end of the shift she loved me. Kept asking me if I'd gotten lunch/dinner, made sure all the other patients on the unit got their snacks, told us all to get some rest once it was curfew for the unit (we had to stay another 2 hours) and said we could use the spare bed in her room if we needed. Which sounds really weird but coming from her was incredibly sweet. Again, total attitude change.

I am very cognizant of the fact that the way I approach my patient care is largely a privilege of still being a student. It's easy for me to stand at a patient's bedside for 2 hours straight and listen to her life story when I have nothing better to do, let alone 3 other patients to take care of. But that nurse didn't talk to her at all. Even when she was in the room, she dismissed everything the patient said. The mental health nurses? Most of their time is spent in the nursing station gossiping and messing on their phones. There's no reason for them not to put in the extra effort of spending time with their patients. And especially there, it can have such an impact.

All of that is to say, I love the relationships I'm able to build with my patients. It's so important for me to be able to connect with people like this, to make them feel seen and cared for and important. No one wants to be treated like an inconvenience, especially not while they're in the hospital, sick and hurt and exhausted and in pain.

Nights like these are why I'm going into this field. I love medicine and I always knew I would end up in the hospital, I've always wanted to be able to save someone's life. But I think now that I've grown up and I'm actually working with these patients, I've come to see not only how rewarding it is to save someone's life, but to nurture that life, too.

#cookie speaks #dont mind me i'm just feeling really sappy #im really proud of what i was able to accomplish with that patient today #he's going home tomorrow and i really hope he's able to do the things we talked about #i truly love being able to help people this way #i want to be the kind of nurse that people remember #i want my patients to feel taken care of and cared for #i dont have a single maternal bone in my body and i never thought i was much of a caretaker #but this is genuinely such a rewarding experience #i dont care how hard nursing is when I get to have days like these #I know it won't be nearly as easy once I start nursing for real #ill have so much more responsibility #but for now I'm going to take advantage of my ability to sit and talk with my patients for hours at a time #i think even if they aren't psychiatric patients #everyone wants to be heard #having someone's undivided attention makes you feel good #especially in this day and age where people are constantly talking over each other and distracted by their phones and never really present #in a conversation #so I always try to give that to others #i love therapeutic communication lol #one of my favorite parts of nursing #anyway

Oh god.

This summer you sent our mutual friend a package, to get to me. An heirloom, a bit of camp history. Passed down to me.

And on that package, your phone number and address. Your phone number, that I had long deleted from my phone because the urge to call you was always too strong.

When I last saw you in person, you said that when you finally moved to the city it would be with your girlfriend. You would move in together. And surely, she would become your fiancee and then your wife.

There it is. On the package. Your new address, in the city.

I have to keep myself from calling you right now. You probably have my number blocked, and I truly don't know what I'd do if you answered. But I would give anything to hear your voice again.

Even if it's just you saying, "Hello? Who is this?" While her voice is in the background, asking you what you want for dinner.

At this point, I don't even need to be the voice in the background asking what you want for dinner.

I just wish I could be the voice on the other end of your phone call.

#idk if this made sense. its 4am #but storytime i guess #years ago. like four now. i had a best friend #i loved her so much. truly i was in love with her. which was the problem #she had a girlfriend. im sure you can guess where this is going #she cheated on her gf with me. i felt guilty and made her tell her gf. months later but better late than never i guess #her gf made her choose between us. understandable. she chose her gf. understandable #so i got a call one night from her. where she said we could never speak again. we couldnt be in each others lives. and i deserved that #it still killed me though. it still kills me. i havent recovered #but this past summer she sent a package to our mutual friend. for me #just something from the camp we both work at. and there on the package was her phone number and address #two years after she left me she volunteered at the camp i worked at and she used to woek at #we ended up talking. and being friends for that one last week. and she mentioned that she wanted to marry her gf #and move in with her. in the city. so when i saw her city address... yeah #i took a picture of her number and address before throwing away the package. something i remembered tonight #its just sitting in my camera roll. her number and address #and i could never call her. never send her a letter #idk what the point of this storytime was #but this is some half decent writing for 4am #i hope you enjoyed

i think it’s really cool that genloss is getting progress. and i’m very proud of ranboo. but please remember, it’s most likely not going to be what people have hyped it up as. do not be disappointed if it doesn’t include other ccs, or themes/imagery typically depicted in fanart, or anything of the sort. this isn’t like the dream smp where it’s fairly user-interactive, so do not be upset when ranboo’s story does not match with what the fandom has envisioned it to be

#icarus speaks #genloss #i think. generation loss is extremely interesting to me. on a fandom level alone #because realistically #we know SO little about it #yet there’s already this huge interwoven fanon #it’s become a fandom-created story in its own right #kind of like the psmp #because there’s tropes and themes that cross between different fanworks #such as tommy and the red phone #but that’s never been discussed in canon. because there IS no canon. not that we know of necessarily. #and i’m very afraid because of that #because genloss is gonna come out and people will most likely continue these tropes #because they’re interesting! i enjoy them! #but i fear it’s gonna become a thing where it speaks over the actual story of generation loss #kind of in the sense of fanon sbi and the dream smp #of course. i’d love to be proven wrong. but i’m hesitant at best

Got wild world running on my phone. Never had the chance to play this one because I never had the original ds(I own a 2ds and have new leaf though. Probably could have gotten a cheap used copy of wild world somewhere but never did), only played my cousin’s and mostly new super Mario bros. I don’t think he had this game.

So far so good lol. The beginning portion with Nook is so much like the original for GameCube which I played a ton of as a kid. I prefer this style of AC where you just live there and upgrade/decorate your house while running errands. I don’t like being the mayor or the island representative like in the most recent entries.

#and yes I know android has been able to do this for years along with jailbroken iPhones #but I never wanted to jailbreak my phone and I’be had stuff through iTunes and whatnot since my iPod nano #so I’m just gonna stick with my current iPhone until it stops working and then we will see what happens from there #gkat speaks

[reflectismo]

MUSICIAN: Wild Life, the debut Wings album of 71, was done in a pretty compressed span of time. The track that still stands out is "Dear Friend."

MCCARTNEY: That was written for John—to John. It was like a letter. With the business pressures of the Beatles breaking up, it's like a marriage. One minute you're in love, next minute you hate each other's guts. I don't think any of us really ever got to the point where we actually hated each other's guts, but the business people involved were pitting us against each other, saying. "Paul's not much good, is he?" or "John's not all that good, heh, heh, heh."

It's a pity because it's very difficult to cut through all that, and what can you do? You can't write a letter saying, "Dear pal of mine, I love you"—it's all a bit too much. So you do what we all seemed to do, which was write it in songs. I wrote "Dear Friend" as a kind of peace gesture.

No matter how much all the business was, whenever we did have a good phone conversation or anything, maybe one or two of those things, those gestures, got through. And luckily before John died we had got it back to that, thank the Lord, because otherwise it would have just been terrible. I would have brooded on the fact that we were always bitching with each other forever. We ended up with a good relationship, which was something. Some consolation.

Interview with Paul McCartney for Musician Magazine (NO. 112, February 1988)

#Paul McCartney #The Beatles #John Lennon #Dear Friend #Interviews #Musician Magazine #1988 #(We usually tend to focus on their tense and heated phone calls) #(À la “pizza and fairytales” & “Kojak”) #(And tend to discredit their more peaceful calls as just simple talk about baking bread and their kids) #(But honestly these two were speaking to each other far more than we’ll ever know) #(Paul mentions in another interview that during the times where everyone thought they hated each other they were always still speaking) #(And no one knew) #(Also there’s something a bit endearing about them talking about normal regular life things) #(It reminds me of a interview John & Yoko did in the early 70s) #(Where Yoko says something pretty interesting) #(She noticed that when John and Paul or John and any other of the Beatles in fact met up) #(They never talked about anything with respect to the Beatles years) #(They always wanted to speak about the years before the fame–Hamburg/Liverpool–when things were much simpler - the fondness was apparent) #(I’m not saying there wasn’t any guilt or things left unsaid) #(I mean that’s to be expected considering the way John’s life was cut too short) #(But I really do think that sometimes those 1 or 2 gestures got through) #(Anyways this got too long and it’s always a bit difficult to explain your thoughts through tags so I’ll stop now)
