save us all

I wish love was valued over success

I wish my community cared about each other more deeply

I wish positivity was expressed more than negativity

I wish I don't have to be self-loathing to be selfless

I wish I didn’t see self-love equal to narcissism

I wish acceptance stretched beyond race and sexuality, but to personalities

I wish self care was valued over production

I wish every person was seen as themselves, rather than just a number

I wish my value was based on how I treat others

I wish love would save us all.
