Some days the grief is heavier because we can see the gap
between what we were promised and what is actually being done right now.
If your heart aches, that means you have empathy and compassion. It means you remember the words we were taught to believe in.
Dignity.
Freedom.
Justice for all.
They taught us the words. They just didn’t expect us to hold them to it.
Can you feel how far we’ve strayed?
You’re not wrong for feeling unsettled.
You’re not overreacting.
You’re responding to something that matters.
Remember that compassion is not something they can legislate out of you.
If your heart feels heavy, your humanity is intact.

you did it not to me.” — Yeshua (Matt. 25:45)
