The Audacity of the Collective


We are infinitely clueless, yet eager to learn more; and smiles mean the world to us, as loneliness can be so pervasive. We are unnerved by the fear and anxiety of what we cannot move with our hands; but we are not vile, nor do we intend malice. we are only trying to make some sense of everything. We are not selfish or filled with greed; we are hopeless because we do not have enough to give. We are people who like to see the sunrise, especially with another grateful face. We are dreaming of a day when we can see more happiness around us, and we even dream of the happiness we cannot see. We are you, and the barista, and the teacher, and we are people who love to love. We are people who haven’t taken no for an answer.
