Are We Allone?

“The experiences of the last year, the last month, and now even more so this last week have been ones that will define each of our individual lives forever.

“When looking at this image, it’s easy to remember all the times over the last year that isolation, fear, anxiety, anger and horror have consumed me completely, and I have questioned my reality, our history, the future. The larger world has collapsed, folded in on itself, and I’m stuck here in my own small one now, the same as you are in yours.

“We remain alone to be a part of something larger. Knowing that there are millions of others feeling the exact same way is both comforting and terrifying. We are collectively facing a mental health crisis, and we’re witness to the destruction and decay that can happen when it goes unchecked.

“Are we all one? Are we alone? Maybe it’s that we have to remember that we’re both.
