This may sound preachy, but if you’re in your teens or 20s please take care to develop the habit of speaking positively about people behind their backs. Gossip is unavoidable, and yes it does allow people to bond, and yes some people deserve to be shit talked. But I think being negative about things is literally just nature, whereas trying to be positive about things and people is a quality you have to be very intentional about . If this does not apply to you, good for you. But for most people I think it does. Im not lauding toxic positivity so much as saying that if there’s space to speak positively about someone behind their back, it’s better to take that route.

I’ve seen middle aged comedians on national tv sincerely say “I love you” to their friends with no jokes attached. Nature is so slow to heal but it is possible, I tell you. We have planted trees and seen them survive.

This is Gaza, where I live. It's completely destroyed, lacking any basic necessities of life. My father is living through the worst days of his life here in this hellish existence. There's no water, no food, no medicine—everything is practically nonexistent. My father suffers from cancer and recently had a heart attack; his condition has deteriorated significantly.

I implore you, whoever is reading this post, please don't ignore me or my father's suffering. Your donation will help us escape from here. Please donate now so my father and the rest of my family can live in peace. Please help us and donate to us now.

The violence in Gaza has not ended. The starvation in Gaza has not ended. The life-threatening cold and storms have not stopped. Please, share and give what tou,can to help Nader and his family survive
