We Need Community

I wish to remain anonymous for my own protection. I know I won’t get the attention of the vast majority of you because nobody reads the paper anymore, but I digress. Those who do read my words, I implore you to not only glance at my words but hear me and understand me. The rich and powerful are trying to divide us for their own selfish benefits so they can thrive off of our suffering. Minorities such as people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, people of different religions other than Catholicism, disabled people, neurodivergent people (not only those with ADHD and Autism), women and trans people of all kinds, and even some cis men. We need community now more than ever; we need each other. I implore you to talk to people, make friends, and see the value of human lives. Make a change for your own sake and the sake of future generations, if we ever get there without the climate crisis killing us all due to the greed of our wealthy. I know you’re afraid, and you feel alone, but you’re not. I’ll be the first of many to say you have me. I may not be with you physically, but spiritually, I’m with you, and I care for you deeply.”

I hope my message of peace and love will be accepted. I thank you in advance, and I wish you well!
