I don’t know you, and you don’t know me, but I’ve been there and I really hope you stay safe 🖤 I wanted to message you to show in some small part that there are people that care, and I’m positive that there are other people in your life and around you that would be devastated if you died. It might be a barista at whatever cafe you go to, or a clerk at the shops who enjoyed chatting with you, or it might be someone you’ll meet this week but every death leaves a hole in the world that’s noticed. And for whatever it’s worth, I just scrolled through your blog and I really like your photography, and your taste in other people’s art that you reblog. I’m gonna follow you, and I hope to see some good photos in the next day or two! - thank you for taking the time to write me, you are a precious, wonderful person. i struggle finding...
