Things are kind of broken for me right now...
My body is really painful today due to a bad EDS flare up. Probably because it's snowing and freezing here in Colorado. My heart aches for Boston because my friends and family live there, and I'm my head is all stuffed up and disconnected because of everything going on.
A friend of mine lost her cousin in the Boston bombings at the marathon the other day, and she's been talking about how the media won't leave her family alone. It's painful to see her going through this. I can't imagine how it is to be in her shoes right now.
And suddenly, everyone's petty problems they keep complaining about are just making me angry because someone I know is suffering greatly, and it's society's fault that it's worse than it should be. With sensational news outlets being hungry for a story and an interview and social media pushing them to get next big story the fastest, it's us, as the citizens, readers, watchers, etc who have failed a family that needs space more than anything right now...
I know it's depressing, but I really wish the world were a bit different in these times of crisis...
Maybe some day?
I promise to find something more cheerful to update with soon.

I feel sorry for all the families of those who lost somebody in Boston right now. People are hyenas and prey on other's suffering - craving for some strong and dramatic emotions which they can switch off however, together with the TV. In a couple of days the media attention will die down and I hope they get their space to heal broken hearts.
