small joys: waking up to the sound of rain, endless hugs, buying myself fresh flowers, discovering new music, pretty sunsets, laughing until my tummy hurts, slow mornings, long showers, random acts of kindness, crawling into bed after a long day, driving w the windows down, discovering words for feelings you never knew existed :)
Zionists insistence on repeating "but dont jews deserve a homeland-" "what will happen to the israelis-" shows that they are not genuine, this is rhetoric designed to exhaust their antizionist opponents and you should simply block them if possible. People have explained in detail again and again what would happen after the dissolution of the Israel apartheid state, and it's a really fucking easy explanation to grasp.
The remaining israelis (the ones who don't flee the country as soon as they lose their place at the top of the racist hierarchy) will no longer be Israeli, as the boers in South Africa are no longer Rhodesian.
They will simply be Palestinians. Mizrahi Palestinians, Ashkenazi Palestinians, and so on, living in Palestine. The settler colony will be gone, the institutions crushing Palestinian people will be gone, true freedom and sovereignty will return to the rightful people of the land, and the settlers can either leave or accept that in this society they shall no longer be unjustly privileged Israelis but instead Jewish Palestinians. Is that really so horrible? So unimaginable?? I know I'm preaching to the choir here and I know that no zionist is genuine when they say "what will happen to the Israelis" because the answer is so obvious. But still. Is it so horrible?
i think one of the sweetest part of loving someone, is having their wellness prioritised as if it were your own. it becomes natural to share whatever goodness you have or do, with them. like "oh!! this chocolate is so good! I'm going to save a piece for her!" or instinctively saying their name in every prayer you make. instead of thinking or doing good for only yourself, you do it for them too. love merge people in such a way, that they become not only a part of our life but an extension of us.
I was passing through a neighboring town and seeing the lush, green rolling hills and the blushing blueberry fields and the pale green lichens and fern after fern and while my first thought was my god, what a place to live!, my second thought was how many other animals on this earth look around at their habitat and think the very same, and how sweet that is. my old dog used to sit halfway down our hill and close her eyes. she was listening to the wind pass through, the stream go by, the seasons come in and go out without a sound. I’ll bet the birds and the crickets and the caterpillars do the very same.
when I found out my friends have no siblings I always ask isn’t that kind of lonely??? And they are always like idk not really and yeah u can’t miss what you’ve never known I guess but some nights me and my little sister will stay up late even though we both have class tomorrow and we will listen to fast car by Tracy chapman on repeat no talking just us quietly listening and I think that even if I never knew my sister I would still miss her somehow
I love myself so much. I’m so beautiful and sweet and the more I grow the more I realize how special we all are. I forgive myself for all my past actions…. I’m growing everyday and finding beauty in everything. Self love is the most beauftul thing we can accomplish!!!!
