We are living in a world we now must fear...

Every day I have a subtle fear of being shot down in school, at a movie theater, a bar, anywhere. I am now afraid of visiting one of my favorite places, Orlando, where I have had many happy moments with family. I sit in a theater and fear seeing my family shot before my eyes by a mad man. I fear the streets, I fear my neighborhood, I do not wish to be left home alone due to the thought of someone breaking in and killing me. I onceused to love going outside and exploring, but now I am afraid to go outside and relax. I am afraid of strangers on the street, white, black, Muslim, I fear every human I see walk by me. Because, now, no one is safe to me. I used to want to befriend everyone, but now I hide from my fellow people in the streets. I find myself terrified of dark eyed men, who may just be tired from a long day at work. But, how am I to know? How am I to know that man is not carrying a gun and if I give him one wrong stare I will end up with a bullet in my head. I fear my friends in other countries will meet the same fate. I fear my friends in other states will too. I am afraid of my home. I am afraid of people. I cannot trust anyone anymore...

I am scared.

Full yet Futile What happened this weeK: 1.There was bomb in Jakarta and the situation it's not getting easier,more or less it really has effects on my life here in Surabaya.Everybody is feeling insecure,horrified,yeah by this I mean everybody but me.The bombings weren't only in my country tho,Turkey and Paris had to deal with it too.I don't know you may call me crazy but this is what I think: We all know that our world is declining and nothing is going to get better so you better accept this and prepare yourself for the worst thing.This is just not for people in certain countries,this is for all of us who live on planet earth,I tell you a…

WARNING: Graphic content, Paris Bataclan bombing.

I think it’s necessary for people to see what the devastation in Paris really was. It was horrible, and it shows that in this video. It really upsets me, ya know? I mean real prickly-eyed-gonna-cry upset. Which is rare for me. So yet another reason why I’d like to share.

MASSIVE TW: Graphic descriptions of violence, 2015 Paris Bombings

 So in English we’re supposed to compare two pieces of text and see the differences, so in light of the recent events in Paris, I chose the bombings. So, I was working away and this article came up accompanied by a video. This video was of people running out of the alleyway in Bataclan to get away from the gunfire and it was fucking brutal. People were screaming and a man shouted “Oscar! Oscar!” at the top of his lungs. There were people hanging from high windows trying to get away and I saw a couple of guys being dragged away by the arms by their friends, and one even had a massive trail of blood left in his wake. They had to climb over dead bodies at the doorway, but one of them was still alive, moaning and reaching out whilst slowing rocking side to side. I felt sick and my head swam which is a massive fucking thing since things like this generally don’t affect me physically or emotionally, but I also felt tears prickle at my eyes. This was horrendous enough that even I had a big reaction to it. All I can say is holy shit really.

Okay, I have just recovered from a panic attack. I basically had a crying fit. Recent world events are being showed down my throat, and I am not reacting rationally to any of it. I seriously don't know what is worse - the unending sea of apathy that was filling my brain for the last several months, or this state un constant terror and irrational fear. I'd rather be dead than experience this.

USA, Facebook and IS

I want to be serious for a moment, and talk about what is happening in the world. As a European, the latest attac on Paris was way too close to home for me. I only had one aquantice in Paris at the time, and the relief I felt when he was marked as safe... Let’s just say, I feel so so sorry for all those who didn’t get to feel that relief about people much closer to them. Friends and family unnecessarily taken away from them. I heard a lot of different oppinions and reactions when people on facebook changed their icons to have the french flag, like they did when same sex marriage became legal all over USA. I am so glad that they did that, and here is why: When I read this morning that USA bombed IS’s biggest incomesource, I felt like screaming with joy! America is FINALLY doing something! And I know, Facebook might not be that much of a contributing factor in this, but I can’t help thinking that it is! People on Facebook are mostly American, and so many people changing their profile pictures is a huge silent demonstration that the people of America is Not on IS’s side, and would want them to be stopped.  I know that the USA get a lot of crap since the whole aftermath of 9/11, but here’s the truth: even though America is in a financial crisis too, they still have the resources to do things the rest of the world can’t (maybe Russia, but that’s a completely different issue) and honestly, in our history, it has been when the US comes in that the good side has won and they have saved the day! There’s no wonder to me that the whole superhero genre comes from America. True, it’s not perfect, but it never is when it comes to war. I just want to say thank you to all the people who took a stand, and thank you to the United States of America for giving me hope that IS is going to be stopped. Thank you.
