Gina Carano Instagram – I took this photo in LA way over a decade ago.
There’s something fascinating about living in LA, it’s like no place on earth, where all sorts of lives co-exist on the same street or a block over.
It’s where beauty meets Frankenstein, where art meets counterfeit, where rich meet poor, where luxury meets struggle, where brat meets ambition, where peace meets violence, where old meets new, and where love meets heartbreak.
Yet it all co-exists unapologetically and makes this fascinating place something you can almost taste when you’ve lived there.
My heart aches to see it burn, I haven’t figured out how to put into words my sorrow of what’s happening to the streets I drove and the people I’ve met who are being destroyed and struggling.
I moved away from this place a few years ago after living there 15 years of my life for many reasons, one is that it became unsafe for me to stay there and another was I felt in my heart after the 2020 elections something bad would happen around the 2024 election and it is happening, kind of like how I pictured just not how I knew it would happen.
I want to express that I am so impressed and proud how the communities of good hearted people from all these walks of life who are coming together with such grace to help one another.
How people are remaining strong after having lost so much.
As you all are still in the thick of this tragedy just know, so many of us are rooting for you. So many of us gladly encourage our states to send help to stop this blaze from continuing.
There will never be another place like you, LA. I loved my time there, my heart mourns with you but I am inspired by the grace you show as a community and we should all take notes because this, this right here can happen to each and every one of us.
I pray for mercy, for an end to the chaos, for protection for the brave fire fighters and people protecting the city from opportunistic criminals and for healing to shower this fascinating place, where all exists there good and evil but there IS good there, good hearts, good people, good communities, don’t let that slip away. I pray for your revival out of the ashes.💜 | Posted on 13/Jan/2025 03:10:26
