And if I’m being honest, I was seeing others’ pain, but I was mostly seeing my pain.

I find everyone is in pain, and often covering it up. I gave up covering my pain in 2009 and haven't turned back. But a lot of people want to deny the suffering in the world and do not want to see authentic pain. They want memes, superhero comics etc.

It is sad to me that humanity can not organize a mass funeral for those who died in the pandemic. There is so much hate and pain between people, online and offline. People seem to show trauma towards even basic medical science facts in 2023.

Take care of yourselves, y’all.

Thank you and love to all, have a good weekend

Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree; I wish we were better at honoring our united pain and each other's pain. As you and I both know, that's not the case on a grand scale, and why I think it's so important for us to build and find our smaller communities that do.

Have a good weekend too, yo!
