“Last week, we reached out to our community and asked them to send us a love letter; it could be anything, a memory, a poem, song lyrics… The idea was to give everyone a moment to reflect, and use writing as a means of catharsis. By sitting down, and remembering, you have a moment to escape your fears. I’m sharing these on our Instagram, which has been an amazing way to make our followers feel less alone. We’re asking everyone to save the physical copies of their letters, and post them to us (when it’s safe to leave home) as we will be making a time capsule, putting all these love letters in a box, and burying it. We want to freeze this moment, and remember the love we are showing each other, inspiring us to be more empathetic with or without a crisis.”
