I don’t understand how so many bad things can happen all in one year. If I learned anything this year, it’s that death is everywhere and there’s nothing we can do to escape it. Nothing that we do or say can stop death. It just happens with no warning, someone vanishes, never to return again. 

I’m trembling now just thinking about it. There’s nothing anyone can say that makes the loss of one’s life so early on in their years bearable. 

All these events that have transpired this past year just prove that death happens. It’s not just something we hear about. Kids actually die. Houses do go up in flames. I guess I never realized that until I had to experience the pain from the aftermath of tragedy.

First people’s limbs are being cut off and packaged in the mail. 

We still have the problem of violent protests. 

Now 8 people were shot at the fucking Eaton Center!

Seriously! what the fuck is happening in this country. 

*I also forgot to mention that there have been attempted bombings too!
