Don't forget about the Palestinians.
Don't forget about them now.
Don't forget about them tomorrow.
Don't forget about them in a week from now.
Don't forget about them in a month.
Don't forget them next year.
Don't forget them in 5 years.
When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.
When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.
When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.
Don't forget about what we've seen.
Don't forget about what we've heard.
Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.
Don't forget about the Palestinians when the world tries to make this go away.
Ough you go to therapy you take your meds you learn to drive you make friends you graduate college you get a dog you rent a cute apartment you learn to love properly and then one person says something and it makes you feel like a kid again, alone on the swing
This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.
you think you are something less real than you are by Wendy Xu
#603 Time is Nature's Music
The past is a galaxy away,
But it circles through your brain.
Memories on shuffle, replaying every day.
A bop for the stars, a tune for the heart,
But a place that you can never be a part
Of ever again. It's in the past.
It's a tune, but rewritten harmonies won't last.
You cannot rewrite it.
So push skip.
The future is a massive river just a walk away.
Notes at your fingertips that will not stay
Cupped in your hands. You see, the river bends
And spins songs that could be
With a decent percussionist and melody.
The water travels everywhere and nowhere: Possibilities.
"What if's" and worrying can cause instability.
So push pause.
The present. That is something within reach.
You're climbing a mountain, with a goal to reach the peak.
Every rock, trail, and handhold is an instrument in waiting.
Except they are meant to be used, are up for the taking
For a poet and a player, a worker and a lover.
Because as much as you want, you cannot make another
Riff of the past. It's too far gone. And on record.
And the future is cold and not set in stone. So your method
To make the best music in life is stay strong.
Ground yourself in the moment, take a breath, and move on.
really crazy how much one (1) friend hang out can do for your mental health. do people know about this?
