We are the first generation of humans expected to carry the grief of the entire planet in our pockets.

And it's getting heavier each day ....

Collage in artjournal with the words "This world is so beautiful, it deserves better caretakers".

It breaks my heart to see what is being done to this world and its inhabitants 💔

I don't know where this is going. I just know that the air feels thinner lately, and we are all breathing a little more carefully than we used to.
