Dear lovelies: Please wear a mask. Let’s help make the world a brighter, safer place for others. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other. And please stay safe. I love you (see my stories for links to some lovely mask makers) #wearamask #kidlitformasks #covid19 #staysafe #staywell #makeitlovely #wearingiscaring #bethereforeachother #masks #togetherwecan #beabrightplace https://www.instagram.com/p/CCObUXIJwMa/?igshid=1k81w8zzk9t6z
In the words of Dusty Masselin from Holding Up the Universe: Don’t. Be. Shitty. Such important advice to follow every single day. Dear lovelies, thank you for being the opposite of shitty— you are bright and lovely and you make the world a better place. #holdinguptheuniverse #dontbeshitty #dustymasselin #choosekind #acceptance #practicekindness #makeitlovely #tbt #lovenothate #belovely365 #beabrightplace https://www.instagram.com/p/CCJ3lh7JQiq/?igshid=1itfsnzkj0hki

Love not hate. ❤️ Repeat after me, lovelies: We are here. To use our voices. To drown out violence and inequality and brutality and racism. We are here: to listen. To say no to hate and yes to love. To spread brightness and loveliness. To BE love. Thank you for truly inspiring me in this sometimes heartbreaking world we live in. You are my heroes. ❤️ #lovenothate #speakup #useyourvoice #blm #blacklivesmatter #endracism #endpolicebrutality #chooselove #pride #youareenough #youmakeitlovely #beabrightplace #iloveyou3000 (link in bio for ways to spread love and make a difference) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBS5C52pTfi/?igshid=u1vz8r1r0mab

Dear lovelies, lately I’ve been feeling powerless in a very dark, sad world, and I know I’m not alone in that. But I try to remind myself that there are things I can do. I am here. To listen. To understand. To empathize. To speak up and out. To learn. To inform. To help stop stigma. To help spread love. To use my voice. To hope. To find bright places. To be a bright place. To make it lovely however I can. To love. And love. And love. #iamhere #love #listen #hope #breathe #speakout #bethechange #empathize #speakup #useyourvoice #makeitlovely #beabrightplace https://www.instagram.com/p/CBDhMBvpLEr/?igshid=1lowyq2baheez
Dear lovelies: Make it bright. Love others. Be kind. Practice empathy. Open your mind and hearts to those around you. Speak out against brutality. Speak out against injustice.
