As a political commentator who focuses on Palestine and a human, I have to say that the last month has been very tough.

But it has also shown me something that I know many of us have to navigate: being very much imperfect people doing work that matters to us.

I think to continue, self-compassion is a must, together with a very simple understanding that imperfections are (1) very subjective and (2) even if they're actually what we ourselves notice as something not ideal, still allowed.

As I say in my video, I’m not glorifying practices that aren’t good for our health, saying “anything goes.” But a lot goes indeed into being complex and multi-dimensional people.
