sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
i’m in my 20s and i’m allowed to start over
i’m in my 30s and i’m allowed to start over
i’m in my 40s and i’m allowed to start over
i’m in my 50s and i’m allowed to start over
as long as i’m breathing, it’s not too late to begin again

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Donald Trump is the most unpopular 100-day-mark president in modern American history.

healing isn’t cute. it’s not aesthetic. or curatable. its not quoting affirmations you don’t believe in yet.
it’s texting a friend “i know i said i was over it. i lied.” it’s crying in the bathroom, washing your face, and going anyway. it’s learning the same lesson five times before it sticks.
its boring. messy. inconvenient. repetitive. and most of the time, it doesn’t even feel like healing. until one day, it does.
Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country?
Congress? Any answers?

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

"Israel Is Not Equivalent to Hamas"
No, but Israel isn't beyond reproach either. All the whataboutism in the world aside, you can't carpet bomb civilians for months and refuse to permit aid to those civilians and not expect recourse. It's sad that so many otherwise intelligent people are so stuck in their ideological camp.
"Carpet bomb" is a catchphrase used by college tiktok activists who can't name the river or the sea. Be better than that here, it's not the Washington Post.
Seven months of actual carpet bombing and there'd be a quarter million dead in Gaza. There's tons of drone footage, comms transcripts, and infantry GoPro vid showing RPG-toting terrorists running into civvie-occupied infrastructure for shelter followed by the IDF breaking off an assault, or calling off artillery and close air support. Do you…

LOL - it's been A LOT of years since I've been in college. But thanks!
"Do you really think Hamas would do the same?"
Whataboutism: we're not talking about Hamas.
