"The message I try to leave any conversation with is this concept of gentleness and kindness. One, within yourself. And the second, with being kind others. There's such an importance that should be placed on being kind right now as we're going through this. Because no one is doing anything to hurt anybody else. They're doing it because it's what they can handle or what works for them. So you might not align or believe in what somebody's doing right now, but trying to pull away from judgment and pushing for kindness right now is really important. And if I was to leave you with anything it's just this reminder of gentle and kindness for yourself and for other people." - Melissa Melnychuk
