Plain light pink-gray background with centered black text: "Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you." Below, the attribution: "L.

Below it, two diamonds read "YES" and "NO". "YES" leads to a circle reading "GOOD". "NO" leads to a circle reading "CHANGE SOMETHING", with an arrow looping back up to the question.
