“I’m tired. I’m tired of not only COVID-19 threatening my life but of despicable people saying that my life is not worth anything. I haven’t fought this hard and for this long to suddenly be considered “expendable”. Wearing a mask should be thought of as an act of kindness and respect. You’re protecting yourself but you’re also protecting your fellow human. We have to shift our mindsets from a selfish one to one that cares for our neighbors as well. At this point in such a divided country, I feel like empathy is a superpower, it’s a simple ability but it’s hard to teach. If we choose to lead our actions with empathy, I truly believe we can change the world.“
