Good morning π
Today, while I was cooking over the fire, I realized how simple this is for some people⦠and how hard it is for us.
The heat was burning my face, the smoke getting into my eyes, and every time I tried to make the fire stronger, I could feel my hands burning.
Thereβs no gas, no kitchenβ¦ just two stones and a fire we try to use to make a meal to survive.

Yesβ¦ a woman cooking on an open fire, but behind the picture there is an entire story no one sees. The smoke burns our eyes, the heat burns our hands, but the heart keeps fighting. We cook this way because life forced us to, not because we chose it. Every meal that comes out of this pot is not just foodβ¦ itβs a small victory over our circumstances, and a reminder that we are still here, still resisting, still living ππ₯Ίπ€²π»

You can add a description to your images yourself when posting and you can also edit your posts to add descriptions that others have provided for you to existing posts.
(On Mastodon, a lot of people donβt boost posts that donβt contain alternative text so itβs a good habit to get into if you can. Given the hardships youβre being forced to endure, itβs perfectly fine if you canβt. Others will help, like I just did.)
