Who’s like waiting for someone to save them?? Just me? Ok
The days just blend into each other like a watercolour painting...

I’m not old.
I’m 19 years old.
But I feel old. I feel really old, like I’ve lived “life”.
Just not to it’s full potential
Maybe... I don’t know
But I feel old
I missed out on so much things that I’ve wanted to do
But life seemed to have stopped for me when I was 14
Life stopped and started hitting rewind every single day
Rewind
Rewind
Rewind
I’m so tired
Next October I’m going to be 20
Then 30
40
50
60
70?
How long will I life for?
Life’s so short
Fragile
Slips right through your fingers
Gone just like that
I
Will I age? Will I become old?
Because it almost feels like I’m already old. I have so much I want to do.
So much to look forward to
So much places to see, so much people to meet.
So much plans to carry out.
But it also feels like there’s nothing there for me. Nothing waiting for me.
Is it because I feel old...
Maybe.
Maybe not.
I don’t know.
I wish I could talk and talk and talk to someone and they’d look at me and tell me
Tell me why? How? When? What? Who?
Why why why why?
Tell me it’s ok...maybe
Because I don’t know.

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 🙏🌷
Spoilers! I flipping love this show
Downton Abbey is wild because the stakes are always either SUPER low or crazy high. It’s like, one episode is, “Who will win the gardening contest at the fair? Is the countess cheating?” And another episode is, “The eldest daughter’s fiancé died in the Titanic, then she hooked up with a Turkish diplomat, her first ever sexual experience, and he DIED IN HER BED DURING THE CONJUGAL ACT, and now she has to move his corpse back to his bed without being of suspected of murder, BECAUSE IT COULD START A WAR, and also if people find out she’s ‘damaged goods’ and she can’t find an advantageous match, her family will LOSE THEIR ANCESTRAL HOME!” Then the show’s like, “A maid wants to become a secretary! Will she beat the odds?”
