Howls Moving Castle Will Never Not Be Magical

Hello 👋, I hope you're doing well.. My name is Mahmoud, and I'm a 17-year-old from Gaza. The ongoing war has devastated my city, destroyed my school, and made daily life incredibly challenging. Despite these hardships, I'm determined to continue my education and build a better future. I've been given a chance to study abroad, but I need help to cover the costs of leaving Gaza, as well as living expenses and other essentials abroad once the crossing opens.. If you can, please consider donating or sharing, your kindness can truly make a difference, and thanks for your time. 🙏❤ https://gofund.me/bd3ccf0b

الله ينصركم 🙏🌷

not to make any callous remarks but i do think the ever-increasing bans on public religious (read: muslim) displayal (whether in banning mosques for not fitting the landscape or banning hijabs at school or banning burqas and niqabs in public or having police harass women wearing all-coverage outfits at the beach or making laws that state employees have no legal rights for prayer breaks) in european countries, many of which have large and growing right-wing parties, is one of the many outward signs that fascism is politely entering european politics again and europeans are just welcoming fascism with open arms

hi y’all, I kinda disappeared for a few days, a lot has been going in in my life at the moment. Good and bad and stressful things. life.

i got into art college (I still can’t believe that)

I have a shit ton of tests I can barely breath

(and I have a Japanese oral on the 7th and I can hardly introduce myself let alone talk about my future plans....(stress levels 📈📈📈📈)

ive been living with out internet for the past few days as well coz internet is a distractions and I NEED to do well (and I just can’t help wandering and chilling on the internet when I know I have to study biology...ew)

I feel like I aged... 30 years ??

I haven’t slept good in quite some time I can’t even remember what sleep feels like...

my eating habits are absolute shit

and i think that’s enough venting for today

I’ll be back soon (not sure if anyone will care but yeah)

I’m crying

The most painful scars are the ones that aren’t visible.

And If you suffer from visible and invisible scars and still fighting, believe me you’re strong and deserve the world

Everyone deserves love, here’s a cookie! 🍪

“The marks humans leave are too often scars.”

— John Green

Yes.

This good life will be mine
