Palmtreepanik0 - Palmtreepanik

In 1937, the Basque city of Gernika came under severe bombing by the Nazi Luftwaffe and the Italian Aviazione Legionaria.

Picasso was so affected he painted the piece Guernica:

Today (December 8, 2023), Gernika created their own haunting demonstration in solidarity with Palestine:

(If you unmute, beware, there is the very loud sound of an actual air raid siren.)

It's a human mosaic and includes the mother with dead child from Guernica.

Self improvement is great but ultimately? you have to accept your self. Yes you can eat better, exercise more, read more, set boundaries, love your self, but it all comes down to this. Some days you won’t have the energy to do any of these things. And you’ll look in the mirror and think that this is not enough. That’s a lie. The biggest love for self is to live slowly. To rest. To really rest. Have a nap. Eat what makes you feel good. Read if you want to. Embrace yourself and accept that you cannot and will not be ever be perfect. Accept that you are good enough. You don’t need to keep busy all the time. you don’t need to go out all the time and post on instagram. You don’t need to journal if you don’t want to. You don’t need to make art if you don’t want to. Breathe, give yourself grace and compassion. Give yourself the love and tenderness you so badly need. Be gentle with yourself. You are trying and it is good enough. You are good enough.

Being a little too cold: brrrr i’m a little too cold !!!

Being a little too warm: i am going to kill the next person who makes eye contact with me.

If it makes anyone feel better I’ve been at several points in my life where I had no friends on any level. To the point where I worried about what would happen to my mom and my cats if I died (sorry morbid), to now knowing there’s people who would take care of my family even if I was just unwell- in the span of a year. Everything can always change please do not resign to doom in your 20s or 30s do not give up do not stop giving a fuck. whatever is happening will pass OR you’ll learn to live with it. And that’s final

i’m printing this out and i’m putting it on the mirror so i can confront myself with it

We will NOT be stressing over people in 2024 when we could be studying and absorbing so much knowledge, learning the piano, taking up horseback riding, upgrading our skincare routines, reading so many more books, spending so much more time off our phones, giving the love rejected by some people to others who want it and return it in kind, learning music theory, taking up a language (French for me), saving up to travel, developing financial literacy, focusing on our goals, revamping our fashion sense, getting good at photography, carrying a camera everywhere w us, expanding our music knowledge, working out more consistently, and learning so many more recipes

ohhhh i get it now. the little seed of loneliness i’ve carried with me since i was five will never go away
