dear us,

We need to change. We have to recognize that our actions have consequences. It took a global pandemic for the Earth to heal, and it still is healing. We don’t care about people and we don’t care about the ground we stand on. Earth is living. It is sick. People rather focus on the economy than keeping people healthy and safe. I hope we remember the corporations that stood by their employees, and the corporations that looked at their employees as nothing greater than beings, who didn’t see the mom trying to provide for her two kids and the dad who just lost his wife and the kid who is the single provider for their family. I get it, life happens. But where is our humanity. Where is our love for each other. Where is our love for the world. We need to find ourselves and recognize what we’ve done to each other and what we’ve done to our earth. For the very being that gives us food and a place to live, we should take the best care of it. This Earth will not be here forever. You never realize the value of what you have, until it is gone. Love each other, and love our Earth.
