Today has been quite difficult. Emotions and feelings have been running through me as if this were 9/11 all over again. I cannot even begin to comprehend how the families and everyone affected by this horrific act of violence in Orlando are feeling. I wanted to take today’s post to offer my love, prayers, and support. Yesterday’s acts of homophobia, terror, and violence will NOT break my LGBTQ community or the community of America. We are strong. We are brave. We are all unique. We all can LOVE.
I had started a partnership with umbra ltd. and had pictures ready to post today, but I had to change things up a little bit due to the horrific events. As a creative, my work is the only way I truly know how to express my emotions and offer the slightest bit of hope to those in such a deep suffering state of mind right now. Please know that people HELP. People SUPPORT. People are KIND. and those qualities will always win because those are the qualities of LOVE. There is still so much good in this world and if people waiting in line for hours to donate blood and millions of dollars being raised in just hours to help offer support and compassion to those in need, it just goes to show that LOVE will ALWAYS conquer hate.
I am with you Orlando.
We are with you Orlando.
Stay strong.
Love,
Matthew
