I'm so grateful you wrote this article! It gives me hope just when I need it most. For a few weeks now, I have been asking people around me: OK, you no longer waste time trying to figure out what to wear, you've all organised your wardrobe in the most minimalist and functional way, so that you can practically jump out of bed in your clothes. You stoped cooking and turned to catering services that bring you a bag with 3 boxes: breakfast, lunch and dinner, you stopped watching TV, you don't have enough time to go out with friends so often. Good. But what do you do with the time you save giving up all of the above? Most answers were a question: we scroll on the phone?
Ok with the food, ok with the TV, for me it's all okay until we get dressed. I'm sure for others it's absurd that people don’t cook anymore. How do you get rid of all these, just to spend more time on the phone?
I used to work for an events agency, until the pandemic started, but I started collecting vintage clothes a few years ago and sold them on Etsy because it was an old passion of mine. Of course the events stopped and I had to quit my job. But when I took the clothing business seriously, slowly I came across this people apathy regarding clothes. In my most pessimistic moments, I thought we would all end up wearing the same clothes, some uniforms. Exactly like in the sci-fi movies. Now, that’s scary. Imagine my level of motivation in those moments!
So thank you. Your newsletter helped me. Wish you all the best, Leandra!
The concern that the mediums or the means aren’t enough, for the continuing violence for violence towards a peaceful country. The time that they and us still have… not sure if I replied well.
I don’t know that one can assume these mediums or means *could* be enough. There are limitations to every form of expression, but they do what they can with the instruments they have. The notion that “it takes a village” is coming to mind. There are many different forms ministries to accommodate the calling of different people. It seems to me that no one will solve the worlds problems alone but by responding to our callings honestly, with integrity, courage and responsibly, there is plenty that we can do together. This is my opinion
Indeed and thank you for your words. They are releasing. I’m not copping with the events today. Some days the clarity of thoughts skip me (which usually is my mindset) in turn of a certain despair. 🕊

Pacifying reading yet the concerns remain. Thank you for this.
What concern in particular? Not disagreeing, but want to make sure I understand !
