Today we were supposed to write how "Everything is going to be amazing," and I'll be honest, I struggled. I could not be bombarded with news about the war in Ukraine, the wildfires out West, shootings, violence, refugees being refused refuge, and write such a thing without feeling disingenuous or willfully oblivious.

red eyes haunted by the vision of her smoldering home and raises her glass "This sleepover is going to be amazing." Ella mira la cara de la policía fronteriza cansada y libre de compassión y reza "El futuro va a ser increíble." She looks at the face of her babe born here in the bomb shelter and smiles "Your life is going to be amazing." She looks at the face in the mirror worry lines developing before their time and turns off the news "Everything is going to be amazing."
