Nothing feels real anymore, everything feels like sand and it keeps slipping away and burying us deeper in our own shame (at least that’s what I feel) in our inability to do something.
Danya. I'm so so so sorry. My cognitive dissonance is a lower level but still BLARING in my ears as a child of Egyptian immigrants. I want your family to be safe. I want everyone's families to be safe. Thank you for sharing this and I'm sorry you have to share this, and I try to write about this every week or share resources in every post... Much love, habibty.

Deeply resonate with this. Nothing actually matters. We just go on and on like it’s normal when it’s far from it
Exactly, everything is supposed to be all hunky dory, meanwhile our money is ripping families apart.
And when those of us with a brain and heart speak up, we’re gaslighted from every angle. It feels so dystopian
I feel this. Every bit of it. Everything feels irrelevant— which is why I haven’t posted in some weeks 💔💔
Everything feels SOOOO irrelevant
We are here and we hear you.
