Wholesome
Greetings all!
A bit of a sentimental ramble here.
My feed lately (on all forms of social media) has been clogged with a terrifying amount of hatred: fascism, bullying, fatphobia, homophobia, transphobia, news coverage glorifying world leaders that are committing crimes against humanity, etc.
We're clearly in dark times.
My tenderhearted soul is weary. I identify as an HSP and a very empathetic soul (highly sensitive person) which makes processing what is happening in our world, even more difficult.
'Keyboard courage' is running rampant and the cyber bullying is at an all-time high. Sadly, it's making it's way off our screens and into the world. I've experienced it myself, being bullied and called ''pathetic'' for being someone with chronic illness that can't leave my house often.
But there is always specks of light in the darkness like you guys. Anytime I see a post pop-up in my scroll from this subreddit, it always makes me smile.
There's no division, fighting, or bullying here from what I've seen. I see people of all ages coming together to share various carebear related things and I revel in the joy it brings me.
So, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all who post and for all who are here in this subreddit even if you're mostly lurking like I do. If people truly appreciate the messaging of the carebears then surely they must be decent.
Please don't stop being kind. Please don't stop speaking up for what is right in this world. Please don't stop shining your light. The world needs you.
Love, a weary but thankful Canadian
