It has been several months since I've posted any photos of my couples, and honestly, it's because I've been at a loss for what I can say. The whole world feels so, so heavy right now and my heart is breaking for many people. For the many essential workers putting their lives on the line for people even when those same people ignore the advice to stay home.
I have been volunteering along with Mr. M for couple of months, delivering shopping and hot meals to vulnerable locals. I feel for people who have been isolating for months and did not go mad. I also feel deeply for engaged couples all over the world who have looked forward to their elopement or wedding this year and are facing a high likelihood that things might need to be rescheduled. It's just a lot to handle for all of us.
I'm desperate to go out for a beach walk with my Doberman rescue Freya, out hiking or adventure on days like the one in the picture above. I really miss that. But at the end of the day, if me sitting at home saves someone's loved one from dying due to the virus, then count me in. Always. It's honestly the smallest sacrifice to make, compared to what some other people are going through.
I have been disappointed by how many people aren't taking this seriously and are putting peoples lives at risk. No Instagram or Facebook post or picture is worth someone dying. Let's be better than that.
I've seen this community accomplish great, beautiful, and inspiring things. So let's inspire positive action in this moment too.
I, along with many others, have friends and family on the front lines here. We have lost loved ones, we have even lost a young family member. The people on the front line are taking risks so we can survive. That's the ultimate sacrifice. Let's do right by them.
