"When I think of the future, the only way I know how to create true safety is through connection." - I think I'll take this reminder as one I hold close to my heart through this year, thanks Mariah. <3
It was really nice to read this. I’ve been wanting to write something somewhat similar about my feelings these days, but I feel foolish for feeling like things are coming to an end. And honestly, most things I have read or seen on the matter often make me feel worse. Not this though. It is comforting to know that there are other people who truly believe that connection can get us through whatever comes. Sometimes I fear that I am being overly faithful for believing that, but this letter makes me think a bit otherwise. There is a beautiful collective energy brewing despite all this bad in our world. 💓thank you for reminding me of that before I go to bed tonight 💓
Thank you for reading and sharing your reflections, Julianna! It's honestly the times I've spent solo traveling around the world (in my 20's, now over a decade ago!) that help me balance all the negative news with hope for humanity. From Morocco to Spain, Mexico, Ecuador, and many more places, I've encountered such kindness, hospitality, and genuine love from other humans. When I get overwhelmed by fear of the future, I try to remember these experiences and how much we have in common- it's our connection to each other that will carry us through, no matter what comes.
Thanks for being part of the safety net of love. 💗
