your face has been carefully constructed, perfectly arranged. the curve of your hips and slope of your lips, the pull of your eyelids, the slightest dip in your back, they’ve been drawn through generations like a single red string to end up with you. in a way you carry the faces of your ancestors, and that alone—the fact that you are you, the fact that you’re what millions of years have brought forward—makes you worthy of life. you don’t have to be or do anything more, you don’t have to earn your breaths or heartbeats. you’re already meant to be.
imagine you are jonghyun in 2008 you are seventeen years old you are making your first album and you remake a spanish song so well that your version is more popular than the original, the og artist shouts it out multiple times, it becomes a staple in kpop, and it leaves older singers shaking in their boots like... he was a CHILD WHEN HE DID THIS
They don't want us to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide not because there's not been an official ruling but because these things don't get set in people's minds via official ruling. Instead it is the oral history that sets an event into place in mass consciousness.
Us calling it what it is - a genocide - means they can't wriggle out of it in years to come. They can't continue to call it a conflict or a war if we cement it in public consciousness as a genocide.
So don't tone down your language. Call it what it is. Make sure the history books know what happened and the genocides that took place in Palestine, Sudan, Congo.
One of my favorite pieces of advice is to always be true to yourself. It's important to know who you are, what you believe in, and what you want out of life. When you're true to yourself, you'll be more confident, more fulfilled, and more likely to attract the right people and opportunities into your life. So always stay true to yourself, even when it's hard, and you'll be okay.
