Our pillow talk was Gaza stories Horror stories with the magical realism of a child's perspective He just lost his mom and now Palestinians are terrorists in the media again He's in the middle of an immigration process to Canada He's been supporting his family since he was a teenager He's so intelligent and funny and caring And this is bullshit All that matters is being strong There's no understanding or compassion in this world Only excuses for the ones who do harm --- I got my training schedule, starts in the afternoon and ends in the evening Maybe mid week I can wake up really early and camp out in front of the social insurance building? I know I don't have to finish everything in the first week I know that and it makes me feel lighter And I'm getting things done I'm going to try to last as long as I can, save up enough to explore And make this space comfy again But also it doesn't matter Nothing matters!
