 i think generally my life is sad 
 "The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the colour of your thoughts."

Consider not taking in so much war content, you'll feel better! 
 my life has been like this since degree 
 This applies to the internet also. Nuke as many social media and other services as possible. It's only anecdotal evidence, but I notice I experience much more general happiness now that I use the internet a lot less. I have linkedin and nostr, and even those I only use occasionally. 
 Do you have a spiritual practice?  
 yeah that is the pillar that keeps me strong 
 I'm glad to hear that 🙂 
 and i thing i should do more. nowadays i like to read stories from the quran. i read the quran but by understanding the stories and ashabun nuzul i feel better. 
 For me the most important think is to trust God. To hold that faith in every moment.

It's not easy. Everything in this life seems to be designed to distract us and cause fear. 

Meditation has helped me with that somewhat. I plan to read the quran some day.  
 yeah, trying to hold on to that. god is our pillar 🥰 
 Thanks for posting about Palestine. You are an integral part of my feed 
 May Allah swt ease all of your problems brother ... stay strong
