✨What A Beautiful Reminder Of Resilience And Light ✨

🥺❤️

Many artists worry about what others will think of their work. Just remember that there will always be people who like what you do, and people who don't like it. There will always be people who agree and others who will always have something to say about it. The fear of not pleasing everyone sows confusion within you and can hold you back. Do what you love with honesty, create what makes you tick, work with rigor and sincerity, follow your instincts ! Whatever your art, do it first and foremost for yourself, as you are, because the only fear any artist should have is that of not being themselves.

I hear the anger and pain behind the criticism of my post. I understand that to many, the image I shared appears to equate the oppressed with the oppressor. That was not my intent. My aim was to highlight the humanity and innocence of children on both sides of this conflict, and express my deep longing for a reality in which all children can live in safety and freedom. I know this is an incredibly complex and emotionally charged issue with a long history of trauma and injustice.I don't claim to have all the answers. I'm simply someone who has seen the devastation of this conflict firsthand and feels overwhelming grief at the suffering and loss of life on all sides. My heart breaks over the death and violence inflicted on innocent Palestinians. I also hold pain over the Israeli civilians and children who have been killed in attacks. I know many feel my stance is misguided and that I'm profiting off Palestinian suffering. That is truly not my intention and I apologize for any pain I've caused. Personally, I'm struggling to make sense of it all and find my place. What I do know is that I care deeply about justice and the equal worth and dignity of all people. I cannot stay silent in the face of hatred and dehumanization of any group. For me, the only way forward is to keep reaching for shared humanity, even when it is unpopular.I don't expect everyone to agree with my perspective. All I can do is strive to act with integrity, hold space for the pain on all sides, and plant seeds of care in a hurting world. I welcome thoughtful discussion and aim to keep learning and growing. Thank you for engaging with my post, even in disagreement. I see your humanity too.

Thank you Council of Muslims Against Antisemitism.

I do hate that people assume all Muslims are extremists like Hamas and IRGC.

I messed up some conversations today with very kind people and it makes me feel very sad, I was too self centered and didn't pay attention to their needs. I wanted to stop but couldn't because of the burn out... Sometimes when I feel pain I don't see others, and I am so sorry for that... I wish I could fix relationships i have ruined by not paying attention 😔
