Take care Veronica. None of this is OK. It feels so unreal that people are ignoring a genocide and our complicity, it's no wonder we crack. I miss you on Facebook.
Thanks Veronica, life really is a sack of shit, currently; and I really feel overwhelmed by everything that is going on in the world. As you say, we are not alone and if you feel like I do then don't be alone. We have to talk to someone, reach out and talk.
Take the all the time you need to look after yourself, Veronica.❤️ No single person can save us from the GlobalShitShow, so don’t be thinking you have to shoulder all of the load yourself- we can all do what we can, when we can. Because those of us who know how important staying engaged and being active is (however that manifests) also know that we have to stay with this for the long haul. Free Palestine, from the river to the sea. ❤️🇵🇸☮️
Thanks for sharing Veronica. I think all of us in this space, meaning those of us who care deeply about what’s happening in Palestine, can totally relate to how you are feeling.
Good people often disregard their own needs for the sake of others. Please do not feel guilty to take some time to focus on you. Listen to what your body is telling you. I say all this as a hypocrite who needs to take his own advice of course.
These are tough times, and it takes a lot to show up for anyone with a heart that cares about truth and justice.
Not easy to show up and open your arms wide to so much suffering…let alone tackle the system and structures that drive it!!!
I learned a new Arabic word today, it is zilzal, meaning earthquake. Perhaps you are having your own little personal zilzal moment… which is probably healthy, maybe necessary…..
Friends & I decided long ago that being a strong woman does not mean being unfeeling. And the push back gaslighting is something else right now- maybe it’s a sign that the brave Australians posting ‘unwelcome’ facts are succeeding. Having the right person to debrief with can make such a difference. So wise of you.
Sending you my love & support. Seeking help is the best thing to do. Witnessing a genocide & living in this parallel reality is very hard on the soul 🫶🏼🇵🇸
It’s so easy to put yourself last and forget you need to breathe yourself too once in a while. Nothing wrong with acknowledging you need a moment too. Doesn’t make you weak or letting down your cause. It makes you human and that is what drove you to support what you do in the first place. We’re no robots.
Our activism can feel like we're flying constantly against the wind, or swimming against the stream, or crying out loud in the wilderness. There are so many wrongs to right. It is easy to forget we are actually making progress, thanks to the swell of birds and fish and prophets that are flying, swimming and crying with us. You have been in the forefront for so long, and your personal history has been a place of deep motivation. Now it's time to take healing care of yourself, and feel okay about that. Thanks for sharing and reaching out. You are held by us all.

I miss my Facebook peeps…there was a real sense of a “village”.
I also miss V on facebook - she was always such a bright light in a sometimes hellish feed :(
Yes, same. It’s clear she had a growing impact and she was shit down for it
thank you Veronica for everything you do, post, write & share 🍉 be kind to yourself 🤗
Trying to be kind!

Take care Dear Veronica do what you can when you can. We must have hope because there will be A Reckoning 😡💔😭🇵🇸🇱🇧🕊🫶
Can't wait for the reckoning!

Not taking any time as such…will still be doing just as much for the cause ❤️
Hugs from me too! We care about you!

You have soo much energy and are dedicated to Free Palistine. There must be some personal cost. A big hug, be strong!

Sorry to hear you’re feeling unwell. I’m not surprised with all that is going on in the world and all that you do. Take care of yourself. ❤️🍒
