As the news of what happened in Orlando floods my life over the past 24 hours… I can't help but feel sadness, anger, and frustration come over me. How could someone have so much hate in their heart that they could do such a thing? How can this happen? WHY?!?!
As my heart goes out to all the friends and families of those injured or lost, I will remain a little quieter today.
As a nation that has stated an endless amount of times that "LOVE IS LOVE"-we need to spread that love more than ever right now.
We need to prove that love can over come hate.
We need to be KIND to our neighbors, even if we "think" they are an enemy.
We need to reach out to those who need us.
We need to teach our children acts of kindness instead of acts of anger.
We need to love unconditionally and without question.
We need to remember that every single person we meet is completely different than who we are
We need to remember that those differences are what makes us magnificent
We need to be there for the people who are most affected by hate
We need to speak up when others are being tormented or bullied
We need to remember that even the smallest act can be heroic
We need to ask if a friend, family member, or stranger needs help
We need to spread love and share happiness to those who feel hate in their hearts
We need to show the world that love can conquer all
WE……
Today, tomorrow, and the rest of your life, find ways to reach out and show someone that we are here for each other. Spread kindness throughout the world. BE the hero. Stand up and shout when no one else is saying anything.
The world won't change if we all sit and wait for someone else to speak up.
Feel. Cry. Mourn. Do.
Lin-Manuel Miranda said it best "Love is Love is Love is Love is Love is Love is Love is LOVE cannot be killed or swept aside"
May we all come together to create, share, and amplify the love that we have for one another so that this may never happen again.
You and Beautiful, Smart, and Amazing.
I Love You.
