Hot Take:

hot take:

crushing on/hyperfixating on fictional characters is a form of self-love. imagining yourself in scenarios, be romantic or platonic, with a fictional character is self-love. i've strugged since 2018 with depression and self-esteem issues, and the best way to remedy that is to be kinder to yourself, right? however, there's no one way to be kinder to yourself. but if your imagination can bring a character to life and tell you how hard youre working or amazing/beautiful you are, its basically you coming up with a conversation in which you're reassuring yourself what you want to hear. <3

what matters most about your interests is that they make you happy. whether other people find them productive is irrelevant. you don't have to produce anything. you are not a machine. your interests aren't for others. your interests are for you. do what makes you happy.

okay so a ceasefire will happen soon, inshallah, but i just know the second it does, most of y'all will pack it up and go home. the world has proven time and time again that the second the violence "stops", then everyone forgets about us and then we just go back to suffering under the israeli occupation. you guys need to promise us, promise every single palestinian child in the world right now, that you will not stop fighting. that you will continue boycotting, you will continue protesting, you will continue disrupting the world until palestine is free. and then we'll do it again. and again and again and again and again. for sudan, for the congo, for everyone who is suffering right now.

you guys cant keep leaving us and forgetting about us once you've done "your part". it always happens, and we always go back to suffering. you need to stand with us until palestine is completely free. until we have our land back, until we can rebuild our homes, until we can drink clean water and breathe clean air, until our children grow up never having to face a horror like the nakba ever again. you need to stay fighting until we are all free forever.
