This can also be seen in my Xanga.
I should start wearing a poster around my neck.
It would say,
"Yes, my video store got robbed. Yes, I do believe he had a gun. Yes, I was alone when it happened. Yes, I was scared, yes, I cried, yes, I freaked out.
Yes, I am okay.
Well... actually, I'm just telling you that because I don't really know the half of you that ask. I'm still grappling with understanding why things like this happen to people like me who are almost always nice to the creeps that come in there. I don't understand how someone could do that and still be able to sleep at night knowing they did something that terrifying to someone. Yes, I still cry about it. Why? Because I'm afraid of people now. You could randomly stop me on the street and tell me 'Happy Earth Day' and it'll get me close to tears. And you know what? I feel awful for it, because I understand that it could have been much, much worse and that a billion people in this world are going through something much, much tougher as I write this. I don't really understand how I feel or why I feel that way or how long I'm going to and it bothers me. I feel like we all start off as having so much faith and idealism in us and everything bad that happens just takes away a piece of that and we have no way of getting them back ever. And yes, I do feel dramatic."
Only, none of that would fit on a sign, and I feel like a retard for writing it.
