i'm slowly but surely losing faith in humanity. violence, hatred, and cruelty are bubbling up around us worse and worse by the minute.
it's things like a seven year old girl getting shot in the face trying to protect her mother, or a completely unsympathetic asshole who taunts shooting victims that make me cry for strangers and their heartbreak. it's things like hearing my best friend's girlfriend was raped and stabbed last year -she survived, and is doing as well as can be hoped for - that break my own heart for her and others affected by it.
imagine: going through life with one eye and deformities from being shot six times and treated unfairly because of the way you look, all because you were miraculously brave and stood up to a gunman trying to kill your mother when you were seven.
imagine: you're some fifteen year old kid who has finally stopped crying yourself to sleep every night because your brother was shot and killed by a lunatic at his college, when you stumble across a picture of a guy pretending to be one of the victims. it's heart break all over again.
imagine: being dragged into an alley in a foreign country, beaten, raped of your virginity, stabbed multiple times, and left for dead. and being alone with nothing but your own thoughts and memories in the hospital room all night.
sometimes, i cry when i think about that if i ever have kids, they could go through something like that or worse because there are people out there whose souls and hearts are disintegrating and decaying if there was even anything there from the start.

Thanks for the congrats. My parents have been together for about 30 years now and same here it's pretty big since a lot of my friends parents are split up too.
No worries about not making it out to the show, being with your friend was much more important. I totally understand having health problems in the family. My grandmom went into the hospital today pretty much for no reason and it was a bunch of shit really. I have a feeling my mom and my aunt are going to the hospital tomorrow to raise hell and take her home.
Again, no worries about taking too much. I talk a shit load as well. Have a good holiday.
