The best way is to just accept your grieving process. Accept that you are feeling things and accept your reactions to those feelings. that's extremely hard, i know. You probably just want to distract yourself instead of dealing with the elephant in your brain. But being upfront with yourself and your feelings really helps.
Maybe, instead of longing the past, celebrate it. Instead of bringing yourself down because you don't have them anymore, remind yourself of how lucky you are to have had that person in your life.

as much as you can - allow yourself to feel the pain. don’t judge yourself for however you’re feeling. keep busy and devote time to yourself but forgive if sometimes you still gotta stay in and sob. build up a beautiful life while grieving at the same time - and eventually you will realize you’re now as fully engaged with joy, pleasure, & passion as you once were with heartbreak !!!

i don't know what happened, but i'm sorry. i think you cope by grieving and mourning. that's what i did. i journaled and cried and howled and screamed and rolled on the floor. i did this for an entire year. and it still wasn't enough. so i reached out to them like 4 days ago lol and it gave me the closure i so desperately needed. please please please remember to be kind to yourself and take care of yourself and show up for yourself even when it's the hardest thing to do. spend time with loved ones. do the things that you love. rediscover your passions. focus on you. treat yourself like the absolute g you are. remember who you are outside of this. it's so easy to lose yourself in this process of grieving. i believe in you. you can get through this <3

it’s an emotion (heartbreak is like this too) that you are unable to understand or fully imagine until you’ve gone through it. it’s gut wrenching and you feel it physically. i don’t think it’s something you have to (or can) ever “get over”.
a lot of times people show that diagram of grief where the grief is a ball in a cube and the cube is your emotions/mind and the ball is your grief. and at first the ball takes up the entire cube. and the difference over time is not that the grief shrinks but that you get more space around it.
i think for me what i’ve come to embrace about it, as i’ve worked through grief with loved ones that i’ve lost is 1) yes, to love is oftentime to lose; but to lose is to have loved, and that is better than never having love in your life. and 2) grief does this weird thing to most of us where it pops up whenever you see or experience things that remind you of those you miss. and at first it is painful or maybe even feels like a nuisance, but i’ve come to embrace it. i am so glad that my mind HAS clung onto parts of those i loved no longer here and that i feel or think of them in those little moments. i don’t think you have to be religious or even spiritual to appreciate that one.

i have seen so many protests for palestine in the last few weeks and saw so many people not protecting themselves. here are some tips (this is all my opinion and not at all by a professional, if there even are professional protesters):
(partially ripped off of tyrathetaurus on twitter)
first of all: protesting is good. if you have the privilege to attend protests for a good cause, definitly do it. you can inform yourself for every protest in your city online, it really isnt that hard. just look for the protest, your city and than 2024, or whatever year.
second: many countries have the right to assemble!! i know of USA and Germany. its a human right to assemble and protest. dont forget this!
third: the police is NOT your friend! they are not there to protect protesters, they are there to make it more difficult for you. we have seen this in BLM protests, we are seeing this on uni and college campuses for palestine. whatever you do, try not to talk to police.
1. how to stay safe:
- write phone numbers on your body, write your name on your body
- DO NOT go alone to protest. always have at least one person with you. if you see someone alone, help them, stay with them, invite them to protest with you.
- put your phone on airplane mode, disable Face ID and fingerprint, use a PIN-Code, change your phone case to a black one, if you dont have it already.
- never take pictures of others with out their consent (this is self explainable). try not to take pictures and videos of people that could be easily recognised.
- dont wear stuff that can be easily recognised. wear stuff that hides your face and hides your skin.
- WEAR A MASK!!! not only can it protect your from diseases, it hides your face incredibly well.
- DO NOT talk to anti-protesters and police. youre doing more harm than good. its better to ignore than argue.
2. what to do if stopped and/or detained by police; what to do if youre threatend with or under arrest
- dont resist. they will attack you
- make sure someone is recording you, the officer, and the situation
- ask if youre free to leave. if yes, WALK AWAY
- ask why you are being arrested. if they dont answer: ask for legal represantation
- DO NOT give personal information, everything will be used against you.
Your rights if youre stopped/detained:
- you have to give consent for the police to search your stuff. if you do, everything will be used against you
- police can pat you down if they suspect a weapon on you
3. what to do if you see someone being detained
- film it. police cannot view or delete the footage
- talk to the person, calm them down. they are likely nervous and scared
4. USE YOUR PRIVILEGE!!! help the disabled, help possible minors, find medics for harmed or someone having a panic/anxiety attack, help BiPOC if theyre harrassed, etc…
5. if you are a minor, you should NOT protest, unless your guardian or a trusted adult is with you. remember: DONT GO ALONE
6. if you cant participate, HELP THE PROTESTERS!!! drop off water, allergy friendly food and snacks, sharpies, cards with helpful phone numbers, masks, hand sanitizers, etc…
7. cant protest at all? BOYCOTT AND REPOST!!! doing even something small is ALWAYS better than doing nothing. inform yourself https://bdsmovement.net/
especially if you are a minor: reposting stuff online, telling and informing others about the situation and boycotting IS HELPING.
please stay safe, go protest if possible, always help others.

im tired of pretending theyre not a good band.
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

We are NOT, and NEVER will be immune to propaganda.
Millionaires are NOT, and will NEVER be on our side. This includes CELEBRETIES. This may include YOUR IDOLS.
Your anger should NOT, and NEVER go to other groups like Minorities. Your anger SHOULD outnumber THEM. You should be angry at OUR GOVERNMENT. We are MORE than they are.
TALK ABOUT FASCISM WITH OTHERS. Whatever may be going on talk about it. LOUDLY.
You are NOT powerless. Help your communities, protest, inform others, whatever you can do, DO IT
