Caparthia is awesome. I cry. Just curious what sent you on this amazing journey to showing Caparthia the love they deserve.

I couldn’t agree more. The Carpathia really was awesome, especially after learning about her efforts during the rescue. 

I’ve actually always known about her as the ship who saved the survivors of the Titanic. Pretty much read about her in that role everywhere the Titanic was mentioned. 

But then I saw someone post something on Facebook, and I got curious. I went looking for the facts. 

And then I fell in love. 

And realised that we were robbed of such an amazing story- one that could have inspired so many, and could have brought so much good to the world. 

It upsets me to think that there are people out there who don’t know what they’re missing. Who probably only know of the Carpathia as the ship that showed up after the disaster, like an afterthought. 

When in reality, she was a beacon of light that traversed frozen hell and high water to answer a call for help, not knowing if they could have saved ANYONE. Just that they had to TRY.

Like, on a sort of current-affairs conscious level, I feel like the story of the RMS Carpathia is exactly what the world needs right now. A story about people - coming together to do the right thing. To help each other. Not for money. Not for fame. But for the greater good.

But like, at the same time, the story resonates with me as someone who struggles with self-doubt and anxiety and being depressed in myself. 

Cause sometimes the days do get hard, the nights even worse. Sometimes you get that sense of there not being any light at the end of the darkness, and it feels like no one understands how hard or impossible it feels.

But then I think about the RMS Carpathia, racing through the dark, doing everything she can to get to those that need her. I think about her bright lights, a beacon in the darkness. And I think about her recklessly determined captain, passengers, and crew.

And I think to myself, that is the kind of determination I need to get through this night. That’s the kind of blind faith I need to get through the day. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring. I don’t know what the end of this day will bring. But like the Carpathia, on sheer will alone, I will do what I can to make it there… and beyond.
