Thinking...
🕑 Added 2021-07-03 14:39:45 +0000 UTCToday I’m thinking of my choice to live here on this island. How does this choice affect this island? With the damage from colonization causing so much harm, how do I live on an island and contribute positively to the future of this paradise? How do I leave less of a footprint and support the biodiversity, waterways, protected areas and indigenous peoples of this island? How do I better communicate and advocate for those who have generations of ancestral stories here?
Just island thoughts ❤️🏝❤️

As a Puerto Rican born and raised there, I have learned about our history. We understood the struggles from our ancestors. Looking at my heritage and background I am very mixed with the native and colonizing population. With that in mind I can not hate one or the other. I realized that a lot of people that are bothered about that are not native. I am very happy and proud that you choose our island as your home. I am proud to say that you are my neighbor. I prefer to look at the beauty of our land than other more negative issues that might not even impact half of the population. I love you and I thank you dearly for your thoughts. Blessed Be.
