I think I was just born with something dark and ugly inside of me. Always waiting to be found out.

The thing that is interesting is if you have any semblance of personality you will definitely encounter people who viscerally hate you and obsess over you for years and you will not even remember their name

the idea of love is so strange to me because it’s something i’ve always wanted, something i want, but i don’t think anyone could love me in the way i need. in a way i would enjoy. i’ve always been the caregiver and the lover and the one who cares more. i am the one who thinks too much and thinks about you all the time because i don’t know how else to be, and everything i see will remind me of you. i don’t know if that was ever meant to be returned to me, or if the line of love versus in love will make me sick. because my coffee order changes daily, but always stays sweet, and who can memorize someone who is always changing. i talk too much, and ramble about three thousand different things, and i don’t expect anyone to remember. how could anyone keep up? what am i if not exhausting and contradictory. what am i if not begging to be soft. begging to be remembered. begging to be seen. begging to be understood. i’m tired of constantly having to do things for myself, but accustomed to the routine. i love like it’s breathing, but to love me is a chore. i can’t picture anyone finding me in the smallest of signs or wanting to be the first one i turn to. i don’t know if anyone could ever be in love with me enough to want to take care of me. not when that’s my job, always has been, and i feel like i’m doomed to constantly repeat it. i carry this weight the same way i carry my heart.

#does this make sense #idk #im on new meds and im just a little sad and want affection #i just don’t know if people pay attention like that with me #or want to #or if have to do everything bc that’s the part im destined to play #love #web weaving #poetry #prose #spilled ink #rambling #rambles #poems #richard siken #mary oliver #writing #writer #prose poetry

Remember the 6 year old girl who was surrounded by Israeli tanks and the red crescent couldn't reach her? Her name is Hind Hamadeh. Here you can hear the phone call her 15 year old sister, Layan Hamadeh, made with the medics. She was killed exactly a moment later including all people in the car, except for 6 year old Hind who was stuck in the car with the dead bodies of her family, Israeli tanks and IDF surrounding her, shooting, preventing anybody to reach her.

That was last night (29.1.24). Today, still nothing. The fate of Hind remains unknown.

palestine red crescent ambulance team went to rescue her yesterday evening, but they have not returned as of now. We lost contact with them about 18 hours ago, and we still remain unaware of their fate and whether they succeeded in evacuating her or not.

Please, share Hind's story as much as you can on any platform. We need to know what happened to her. Put yourself in her place, how terrified she must be. Don't scroll past this.

This is Hind.
