Dear Tumblr souls, you beautiful, strange humansβ
you laugh through the pain,
you turn sadness into soft, glowing aesthetics,
you post memes in the darkest hours,
and somehow, your hearts remain warm.
When you feel someone is hurting,
you become shelterβan open hand, asking for nothing in return.
I'm not asking for pity, but right now⦠I need you.
I'm Kareman from Gaza π΅πΈπΈ.

I'm trying to get through what life threw at meβwith an open heart ,We were displaced ,There was bombing everywhereβloud, close, terrifying ,We fled with nothing but our lives.ππ
Our dreams have changed ,We no longer dream of tomorrowβ ,our dream todayβ¦ is simply to eat.
My son, Hamoudπ₯Ή, asks me, βMama, when is dinner?β
And sometimes⦠I have no answer.
That kind of pain shouldn't exist in a mother's heartπ.

And if you can't, sharing this could still bring us one step closer to a meal.
Thank you, deeply.πΈ"
