Madre

I’m so glad you’re here. I’m glad I get to hug you today after being careful the last few weeks. We’re both high risk but I worry so much about your exposure to the outside world right now. Its not just communicable disease, it’s also the nastiness, ignorance, and bigotry of the people. Bad enough they’re throwing parties and are protesting policies meant to keep them safe, they’re trying to blame certain demographics for a pathogen. They’re too stupid to understand something out of their control, or out of the control of others.

Being a realist, being more of a cynic and a nihilist has been rough lately. I am still me, but some parts have felt shut off for a while, like it’s in power save mode or some things are dormant right now for their preservation. I hope things get better, I hope we have a better world, we need a better world. I want a better world for you and me. I love you.
