After speaking to many Foundation creators, I attempted to communicate our collective mood.
Dear Foundation,
There are so many beautiful things about you. Your imagination and your determination inspire me. Indeed you are impressive, and I, like many artists, fell quickly in love with you. Your youthfulness and hopefulness were intoxicating, but my darling, you are breaking my heart. I feel like there is a barrier in communication, and it makes me anxious. I don’t know what you are thinking. I don’t know what you want. Are you kind and generous? Are you superficial or greedy? I don’t know anymore.
I think if I could see where we are headed, I would have more faith. Following you blindly makes me uneasy; I’ve been hurt before. I wish to be patient with you, but while the heart waits, the mind races. Have you outgrown me? Have you reached so much fame that I am insignificant now by comparison?
I came to this space by invitation, I was encouraged by your hopeful ideals, but now I feel like no more than data. Am I just a user to you? I hoped to be a collaborator. But, instead, I watch you play with your favourites, and I try not to let it break my heart. Why don’t you love me enough to tell the world? Are you ashamed of me?
I would be grateful for some direction and insight.
Sincerely,
Your Loving Creators
