Finally made it out to visit my bro in the FLA since Irma rolled through. I’ve spent so many sunny days on this stretch of beach and to see it in this condition, it literally hurts my heart.
It isn’t the fallen palm trees, or the mangled life guard stands. It’s not the fact that the beach is nearly nonexistent that kills me. Nope.
It’s the fact that we (myself included) are literally watching the slow death of our Mother Earth. Yet, snapping that perfect selfie or finding that thing we just HAVE to have delivered tomorrow on Amazon is wayyyy more important.
To know that our society is just that self obsessed, that’s what hurts.
