This is definitely not meant to be trolling you or attacking you in any manner, shape or form. In our world today that is filled with hyperbolic headlines and hysterical rantings on social media, or dog whistles and hate spewed actions or words of politicians. I believe we really need to tone down the adjectives we use especially when we are talking about something like a postponement to walk the camino. I have been looking forward to walking the VDLP since about a week after I finished my fifth camino in December. I was looking to start in mid October. I am saddened, disappointed and bummed that I can't walk. But devastated? I am totally blessed. I have my health where hundreds of thousands have died and will die and many more will have permanent lung damage due to Covid. There is real devastation throughout the world and it takes so many forms. Racism, war, starvation, desperate refugees in camps. The list goes on. I know you are not putting your disappointment in terms of real desperation. I just believe that when so many misuse and elevate the slightest slights or disappointment by using extreme terms, we cheapen the meaning of these words and people become more desensitized to what is truly devastating around us. As someone else send you are young, you still have time on your side. You are sad and disappointed but you have health and resources to make your dream come true in the near future. Be thankful.
