like last year, im very of how blessed i am to have reached this age. these past two years have been an eye opener to everyone im sure, living through a pandemic and all. however, the reason i feel so grateful this year is because i know that if i was living back home in palestine right now, i dont know if i would have reached this age. im grateful because im alive, and my family back home is alive. im grateful i have a roof over my head. im grateful because i know i can walk the streets of where i live and not be faced with the constant reminder the government doesn’t believe me less a human. im grateful because finally the world is seeing the truth of palestine the truth of the Palestinians struggles that actually have been going on for years. which is why for my brithday this year id like you to help palestine. if you were going to get me a gift- dont. donate that money to the page ive linked. if you were going to send me a brithday message- sign the following petitions (you can send me a message too ;)). please take the time to read about what is going on and share it because now more than ever it is imperitive we share the correct narrative and not the one being spewed by the israeli governemnt all these years. palestinian people in gaza and palestine are being silenced so we must use our voices and our resources to help them. for my birthday support our cause- because it should be your cause too. 

thanks for the bday wishes and thanks for reading my super long caption!!
