Remembering...
So, Yesterday, I avoided all of the newscasts about Virginia Tech because I knew what they would do to me. But today, I didn't avoid them. I've been on the verge of tears all day again today. I realize now, my tears yesterday were just because I heard there was a shooting.
Even though I didn't know what happened, I still felt it. It still hurt.
I know exactly how it feels to have your friends shot at. I know exactly how it feels to not feel safe when you go to class. I know exactly how it feels to lose your innocence, your naiveté in thinking that you're invincible. And I do know that the pain never really goes away...it just gets a little easier to deal with.
But even though it seems to get easier, things like this happen and it brings it all back.
I've been crying for the past 3 or 4 hours.
Virginia Tech,
Right now, no words can make you feel better, make things easier, or make your friends come back. I just pray that the prayers of the nation will help in easing your pain...if only a little.
