💌 Love Notes

Hey there lovelies! I feel like every time I come in here to write to you there's just so much that's happened and I'm so many days behind I just don't know where to start.

So tonight I just wanted to remind you that things will get better. They may get worse before they do, but they WILL get better.

I've seen a lot of scary things, but also so many uplifting things these past few days. People are stepping up, and not being quiet, people are fighting back, people are not giving up hope.

They're taking the threats we all face across this planet seriously, they're being loud and they're being assertive, and they're making a difference (and even annoying people enough for them to take action!)

Every single day matters. Every single voice matters. Every single kindness matters.

So whatever is going on in any given day, please remember to take a moment to be kind to yourself too. You are a very vital piece of this complex ecosystem we call Earth, and you make the world a more unique, diverse, and fantastical place.

Things will get better because you are kind, and you are resilient. Things will get better because you will make them that way - simply by being you.

Whatever happens lovelies, we WILL make things better together.

I love you crew, be kind, and most of all, be safe out there.
