The one where I gain some perspective

Okay. Yes. My life is not the greateset right now. But I've gained a little humbling perspective. always healthy.

There was a school shooting in Cleveland. This kind of stuff scares me. I just can't imagine how everyone there is feeling. How terrifying it must be to in a place you just assume is safe and have that feeling of safety just shattered in a few minutes. It's terrifying. I mean, even last year when that rumor went around, I remember hearing it and I just freaked. I felt nothing but panic and helplessness, and that was just a rumor.
It's a terrible thing that people feel the only way to get theri point across is through violence. I feel sorry for him, really. He probably didn't have a very good life. More than just parent problems or relationship problems or whatever. I wish there was something we could do to help solve this problem. School used to be a sanctuary. What happened to that? we shouldn't be afraid to go to school. It's a sick and twisted world we're living in when we're actually scared to be in a classroom because of one kid who gets picked on.
What make's people think they're so special that they're above someone else? Everyone deserves to be treated nicely and fairly. If we did that, maybe these horrible things would stop happening.

Yay perspective. Boo violence and ignorance and sadness and fighting.
Let's make the world a better place.
