@sophia A very well written and thought provoking post. I feel like a lot of what you're talking about is caused by people who feel empathy, but lack perspective. I feel that perspective can be a near impossible thing for people to obtain unless they live it. I appreciate that you're able to share your perspective with others. If it's any consolation, I found your photography and writing inspiring before I read this post. The quality of your work is incredible, and something that I hope to work toward.
@combonation Thank you very much, and thank you for reading!
I don't disagree, I do think people mean well from it just I suppose don't think much of what's being said. It's just frustrating it helps contribute low key to so much more.
@sophia It's a really good reminder to take the time out to think before we speak, and actually take a look at the language we're using. I think that it's incredible that people are beginning to feel comfortable enough to share their experiences in order to raise the collective awareness. Cheers!
