Hello my Dearest Lordlings,
It's been a while.. I know.
I know I haven't been around lately. I've been feeling so unmotivated. You're all gonna think I'm silly for this, but I'm really passionate about politics and law and with the way things are going right now my entire spirit has been so down lately. I feel deeply about this kind of stuff and I hate how helpless I feel.
As a woman of colour, a first gen immigrant, and a resident of a country with rising extremist views I've lost a significant amount of hope in the world. It's gotten to the point where the activities I used to find solace in(writing, reading comics, watching my shows, cooking) feel like a chore because all I wanna do is lay in bed and try to forget about what's going on around me.
I know I sound ludicrous and probably out of touch because there are people out there living worse than me but it's becoming harder and harder to think happily of what the future holds for me— for us.
Not to mention the fact that my health has been a bit iffy for a while.
But. I've slowly began to realise that this is probably what the enemies of our world want (corny ik but you guys will get it). They want the passionate to dim themselves down. They want us to lose hope; I refuse. I refuse to do that to you and myself. Not when you've supported me so much and have helped me improve not only my writing but my overall quality of life. Not when we've managed to build such a great platform. You don't know me and I don't know you all but I do still care about you guys, and think of you.
The art, the memes, the comments, the asks, the questions, the jokes. I love them all. I love YOU all. and I just want you guys to know that. No matter how shitty our world gets.
Love,
Lourdes.
