Your guide to REAL selfcare
If you go on any social media and type "selfcare", all you recieve is pretty girls doing extravegant skincare, dior makeup and all. But the problem is everyone does the same thing and things just cant work same for everyone. Also, It doesnt feels authentic rather it feels like consumerism. So, I am gonna tell what to do so you feel the best.
Knowing yourself:-
You can only do yourself a favour if you know yourself and the best way to do that is JOURNAL.
If you are new to it, then you can search journal prompt ideas on pinterest and make that a part of your routine. It helps so much.
Do shadow work. Go on pinterest and do the same thing.
Dont be ashamed of yourself, rather accept yourself and change for the better. When you'll journal then you will get to know tons of good and bad things about you but our brain loves to focus on negative things so u might get stuck on that.
Record your likes and dislikes. Which books you loved, which dramas you adore, which food makes you comfy and which movies you wasted your time on. Record these things, this is just so fun and helpful when you feel "bored" or sad.
Being Mindful:-
Most of the time, the problem is not that big but our thoughts just traps us and we feel that problem is bigger than it might so take a step back and try to not overthink about past or future.
I know this is easier said than done but meditating helps a lot with mindfulness.
When you watch a movie or drama or even ytube video then just do that. Dont scroll reddit reading the "discussion" thread of the episode or try to find instrumentals on spotify for reading books. Just do one thing at once.
Dont multitask. Just take a task and then focus on that. (This might not work for neurodivergent people.)
Do 5,4,3,2,1 grounding technique. Identify
5 things you can see 4 things you can feel 3 things you can hear 2 things you can smell 1 thing you can taste.
Cut negative people off
This is so hard because you feel mean for doing this but once you cutoff toxic people who just drags other people down and all they talk is negativity then your life become so much better.
Cut off all the negative content you watch and limit the time you spend on social media.
Do your future self a favour
This is truly the best selfcare.
Study hard cause' your future self will thank you for letting her be the top student
Learn some skills. Read those books. Watch that documentry. Do things that will make your future self proud.
Some selfcare ideas
Organizing and planning
excercise or take a walk.
Reading books.
Cleaning your room
Watching fun movies
Studying about yourself. Knowing what products suits your skin and your hair. What color brighten you and what makes you look dull. What haircut looks good on your face and what clothes flatters on your body.
Get your nails done.
Listen to your fav album while painting, baking, or gardening.
Do your hobby without feeling presurrized. No you dont need to read 50 books a year, chill out and enjoy while doing it.
Dairy writing. Its so fun to read what your day looked like on a random tuesday after 2-3 years.
Explore new things in your hometown. Maybe there is a new cafe that opened 2 weeks ago or there is a hiking trail you are not aware of? its always fun to do that.
What has been happening in Jabalia camp for two days is unimaginable and unfathomable. They are bombing houses over the heads of their people , and now the news is talking about burning houses with people inside them. Massacres are being committed daily, and the world is just watching.

Came to think that some of y'all are really fucked up in the head 😭
Israel hides it's military command centres, including Netanyahu's personal bunker, in the middle of Tel Aviv, under civilian infrastructure, to use them as human shields
Every accusation is indeed a confession.
Was able to raise what was needed to get Maple seen. She had a broken tooth and aspiration pneumonia. Treatment for both costs $500 but the vet is using donation funds towards her so it's down to $260. The vet will keep her to monitor for a few days and administered treatment and extraction, but I need to pay before she comes home. I'm doing tarot and tea readings and @scarsofbeauty is doing art comissions on their page. pls share to help a disabled afro-indigenous queer person and their family. Pic of Maple available upon request (i love showing her so much)
$260 for Maple's treatment

To all my American friends, the time is now.

How do you navigate being sapphic in the muslim community? Do you keep it hidden when you are off the internet in your daily life? Technically, I don't see anything in the Quran prohibiting women being together, and I feel that the story they reference to justify being against lgbtq is more about the sin of rape then of a man being with a man. Even so, it is about men and doesn't reference women. Do you still go to the masjid or spend more time with nonmuslims?
Hiii 💓,
To be really honest with you , it's difficult, but I have managed to gather incredible friends around that are so supportive and loving of my being (they're muslims as well). I do keep it hidden, but not entirely, I have come out to my friends but not my family because it would just create too much tension, and I could lose them, other than that u tend to be very private on my life outside of internet.
I agree with your point concerning the story of prophet lut (saw) and I think it has more to deal with rape then homosexuality. I haven't gone to a masjid yet because well no one ever offered and I'm too scared to go on my own, I do have non muslim friends and they're also so supportive as well.
I guess the struggle resides in aligning your choice of not coming out with your family life. Sometimes, I get overwhelmed but how much I have to keep a secret from my love life. I have just gone out of a relationship, and it was incredibly painful, but I had to keep it shut for the sake of keeping my family by my side. So yeah , it's all inner struggles and striving to find a balanced and peaceful way of life that both encapsulate my sexual identity with my faith and it has all its ups and downs. For now I'm just trying to get back to my faith and be a better practicing muslim.
Hope I answered your questions well , thank you for asking them 💓💓 and remember that you are more than valid and loved.
