Truly well said, I really appreciate this advice!! If consumed, such content must be consumed in moderation and intentionally.
Unpopular opinion, but the moment I stopped listening to videos from self improvement channels like TheWizardLiz or Simonesquared is the moment I started improving.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with them, as I find some of their advices truly helpful, but consuming their media equals to trying to search to further “how to do x, y, z”, when in reality you are once again stopping yourself from doing better (or something at all).
me when i do things that feel inconsequential and small to improve my life even though it feels hopelessly fucked beyond repair because for me giving up is way harder than trying but they actually work and my life slowly and surely gets better and i reap the delayed but plentiful rewards of my choices and i realize that a better life is built by making thousands of these little choices especially when it feels like they don’t matter
‘Children of Shatila’ (Lebanon, 1998) film by Mai Masri. Final scene where the children of the camp are asked in a workshop how they would paint Palestine.
Kind reminder that a degree will not get up one day and leave you, cheat on you, cut your funds, disrespect you or assault you. A degree will be worth a thousand sleepless nights and rivers of tears, because in the end it does matter more than anything else. A degree will make you an independent and undefeated woman, so stop belittling the importance of education nowadays. Every woman who studies is a woman who is ensuring a greater future for all women.
Idk how many people know about this but Harvard offers a bunch of free courses every semester & they are genuinely so cool & such a good resource!

u really do have to forgive yourself
Hello everyone,
I am Samah,I am 34 years old from Gaza, but I am married in Egypt. I used to live in EgyptI have two twin children who are now two years old.
I went to Gaza to visit my family two months before the war, but unfortunately I was detained there with my family. I could not return because the travel coordination is very expensive. My children and I live a very difficult life. We suffer a lot. We were forced to flee several times and I lived in tents. I cannot provide the most basic needs for my children. Now I want to return to my husband, but I cannot return because of the difficult financial conditions. We are suffering here with everything from water, food, and cold. When I came to Gaza, I did not bring many things with me. I had to buy some clothes, but they have become very expensive. Please help me and my children survive. Please help me get out and return to my husband. I trust you and your generosity.
Breaking News 🥺😢💔💔💔
Gaza under fire again‼️‼️
✅️Vetted by @gazavetters , my number verified on the list is ( #523)
We wake up afraid from bombing and unfortunately the war return again. 💔💔💔
I'm so afraid about my family and my kids please help us evacuate from this place we are crying now and screaming because of the strength of bombing around us.
please help us everything is very dangerous and we return to the killing people. you can support us and my family by donating or sharing my compaign.
We literally don't own anyone any explanation for whatever reasons it is
Sorry babe but you do owe certain people explanations and common decency and accountability. This is very context dependent, but why do you want (or how do you think you can sustain) friends if you think you owe nobody anything?? It doesn’t compute sorry
I wanted to share some of my favourite replies to this post, to maybe further explain it better. I do not mean obsessively “curate” every aspect of your life, but rather take care of those aspects that could help your life turn into something beautiful TO YOU. I simply intended to list a few aspects that could be targeted. In addition, you should do what you can do, balancing your wellness and your obligations.
I covered the usernames of all the kind people who left such beautiful examples for privacy, as I do not wish for them to be wrongfully attacked or their words taken about of context, so if you guys wish otherwise let me know and I will add due credits.
Curate everything.
Curate your hygiene routine, curate your clothing items, curate your home, curate your habits, curate your nutrition, curate your environment, curate your circles, curate you socials, curate the content you consume, curate your social skills, curate your financial situation, curate your emotions, curate the version of you that shows up in public, curate your hobbies, curate your knowledge.
Cultivate some fucking discipline.
Some people can ignore their obligations for weeks, but not you. Some people let opportunity pass for lack of trying, but not you. Some people are content to wade through confusion and disorganization to finish every minor task, but not you. Some people are ok with wasting their precious time on endless distractions, but not you. Some people don't address their issues, but not you. You give a damn. You want to fucking do better.
That's what makes you different.
I am a leaver. I am a blocker. I will not stick around after disrespect. I will cut you off and you will be informed about that. I will remove myself the moment I see that a friendship or relationship makes me suffer. I will exit the situation at the first given opportunity. And I always do.
I genuinely feel ashamed that all I can do is write words while more and more Arab people die - but momentum for fundraisers is one of very few things any of us can do at the moment
Please donate to the Sameer Project. They are doing amazing work on the ground. Try to do what you can. Sharing and donating as little as 5 dollars can culminate into a big difference. I have enough of a following to know that we can make a truly big difference if this didn’t simply go ignored bc people decided they’re bored now
THIS!!! I truly do not understand how my post was seen as out of touch or irrational. How is loving yourself enough to realise what or who is holding you back in your life an awful advice? I suppose the post may sound pretentious or a suggestion to create a fake perfect persona, but I did not meant it in that way.
My original post was intended for those who may struggle with certain aspects of their lives that are causing them unease, discomfort, anxiety and, in general, a bad feeling. I meant it as an encouragement to “curate” those aspects, especially those in your control.
Many wonderful people have added truly insightful comments to the post and I encourage everyone to read them, as they worded my true intentions wonderfully. I am truly grateful to those who have shared them, as I always am pleased to hear others experiences and perspectives when it comes to something that we may have in common.
Curate everything.
Curate your hygiene routine, curate your clothing items, curate your home, curate your habits, curate your nutrition, curate your environment, curate your circles, curate you socials, curate the content you consume, curate your social skills, curate your financial situation, curate your emotions, curate the version of you that shows up in public, curate your hobbies, curate your knowledge.
Babe, you don’t have to start at 5 AM after Pilates, at 8.30 after a matcha, or at 10.30 after the gym.
You can start at 7.16 at home, at 15,34 after a long nap, at 19.46 after an afternoon of doom scrolling, at 9.21 before a boring lecture in an ugly building and so on. The only thing that matters is that you start.
Your mental health is not your identity. There’s so much to you than all the labels you want to place on yourself. Allow yourself to live and to be! Develop your resilience. Expand your life and your views. Live!
I am ready to give my all this exam season. I refuse to let distractions, self-doubt, or temporary setbacks hold me back. Every single day, I will show up for myself with discipline, focus, and determination. Success is about effort, consistency, and resilience. I will push myself to study harder, to understand deeply, and to prepare thoroughly because I deserve to succeed. I will not allow laziness or fear to take control of my mind. I will take charge of my own future, and I will prove to myself that I am capable of achieving excellence.No matter how hard things get, I will not give up. I will keep going, keep learning, and keep improving. I will manage my time wisely, organize my notes, and revise with full concentration. I will believe in myself, even on the days when things feel overwhelming. My hard work will pay off because I am committed to this journey. Every effort I put in today is building the success I will celebrate tomorrow. I am getting stronger, smarter, and more prepared with each study session. I trust in my ability to overcome challenges and come out victorious.This exam season is mine to conquer. I will not settle for less than my best. I will work with passion, with energy, and with the mindset of a winner. I am fully capable of excelling, and I will prove that to myself. I am unstoppable, I am powerful, and I am ready to achieve greatness.

The “manifestation” agenda summarised in a few, simple words:
Book: Atomic Habits by James Clear.
If I may say, there is a exceptionally thin line between being unbothered and focused on yourself and being so out of touch with reality to a point even a legitimate critic that is not aligned with the persona you manufactured is seen as out of pocket.
In circumstances similar to the latter, please consider waking the fuck up.
nothing is inaccessible to me.
the girls are gua shaing, snacking on raw honey, lathering in heavenly oils, sipping collagen lattes, eating fruits, dry brushing before their showers, daily stretching, eating homemade food, loving on emotionally intelligent men, spending time in nature, creating whimsical art, getting closer to God, creating heaven on earth, seeing love in everything.
Currently.
Rejection is redirection, not rout.
This morning, my therapist shared this really useful hack and I feel like it could be useful to share: it is the pie chart method.
Essentially, it is a great tool to identify the behaviours, situations and events that caused a certain effect, in order for you to truly understand what really happened.
You simply draw a circle, identify the circumstances that caused the outcome and give each situation a percentage of its influence on the outcome.
For example: you bake a cake but it turns out horribly. It could be that 45% of the fault could be given to the oven that has malfunctioned, 30% to the wrongly calculated measurements of the ingredients, and 25% of your inexperience baking a cake. In the end, you will realise that it may not be your fault, and therefore you should stop being so angry at yourself.
Disclaimer: sometimes the fault could be given to you. This is a useful method for those of you who may constantly be harsh to yourselves.
