Yesterday, I posted a poll in a local group asking what their struggles were because I want to offer support to my local community.

I love my town and I’ve been isolating for far too long.

Someone responded “what bullshit!” and at first I chuckled. Because awwwww. How cute.

But then, I felt really sad.

Because her response was evidence of the jadedness that exists within our global society of being let down by people you trust.

At some point, she trusted someone. They made promises, she felt hope, and they didn’t deliver.

I think we can all relate to that. And it inspired a letter from the Creators of this place for a message for humanity, that I wanted to share with you.
