A SAD DAY | IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE

Today my heart hurts so much. This post today will not pertain to books or movies or other dumb celebrity news, but it will focus on the broken society and world that we all live in today. There has been a terrorist attack in Orlando. The terrorist attacked a nightclub killing many and injuring more. I have no words to describe the hopelessness, helplessness, disgust, sadness that has now settled in my heart and stomach.

I do not know why people must kill one another. I don't know why hate prevails and love gets trampled on. My thoughts are so scrambled right now I don't even know how to communicate what I am thinking. I feel helpless that I can't do something to stop this hate. I'm stuck wondering why, why, why. I may not have known any of the people who were killed or injured personally, but they are Americans and so am I, and I will always stand with my brothers and sisters in America. It makes me sick that these were young people, having a fun night out with friends, dancing, and the night ends in such a disgusting way. Gay, straight, black, white, Americans or not we are all human beings.

I stand with every family and friend in Orlando and I feel their pain. I wish I could take it away, take back what happened last night, but I can't. All we can do is move forward and try and fix this broken world. I say world, because it is not just America anymore. It's the whole world. I turn on the TV and almost every week or every month there is a new terrorist attack somewhere around the world. I stand with every single family that has lost someone to these senseless acts, all around the world. We are all one race. The Human Race. We need to stand together and leave the hate at the door.

I cannot form any more words as I am just so disheartened and sad and angry. My heart is heavy today and it will be. We will never forget what happened in Orlando and we will use this as a match to ignite the fire of change. Please please let this set forth change. We desperately need it.



Until next time,


Britt
