Annika Noelle Instagram – “They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars—on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.” – Robert Frost
I have wrestled over the past weeks with when and how to appropriately reenter social media given the current climate. While I hope you have been finding the resources and news in my Instagram Stories helpful, I thought I would post about something deeply personal to me. The world can be overwhelming as it is, but in the face of an omnipresent news cycle in the midst of a global pandemic, ecological crisis, and social injustices – feelings of isolation and helplessness may be debilitating. But I want you to know that you are not alone.
