#texas explosions

I really hate watching the news about the boston bombings, texas explosion, as well as attacks in other countries, for a lot of reasons. Obviously, all of it is terrible.

But here I am (along with a lot of other people) depressed and angry and helplessly sad for some reason we've yet to discover, and a lot of those people killed or injured had really great lives that now are over or are forever changed. And it's like why do those things have to happen to those people. I'd honestly rather it be me than someone who is genuinely happy and is doing great things with their life. 

Idk if any of this really makes sense but I just feel even worse about the fact that these really awesome people had to be the ones affected by such tragedy.

Idk.

Wow. America what is going on all of a sudden? Bombing in Boston, explosion in Texas and now a shooting at MIT. Just wow. I can't even function right now. 

I have to say though it really shows how close of a country we really are. Sure we all make jokes about this state or that state, joke about rednecks and hillbillies, get at each others throats about if being a liberal or a conservative is better, but in the end we come together. We see things like this happen and we do what we can to help. We donate, spread the word, pray, and volunteer, all to help out those in trouble. 

We've seen this with 9/11, Katrina, all the shootings and bombings this year and last year. Tonight alone I have seen so many posts about MIT, warning people in the area, just to make sure they are safe. 

There may be the assholes that make jokes about all of these moments, but thankfully the majority of us come together.
