10 days till Christmas
Ten days before Christmas And basically nine. All this violence going on is really making me freight about our future as humans. I’m overwhelmed by how this can happen so often in just a few days and touch so many people. Of course things like this bring out heroes and brings communities closer together but that doesn’t make them any better and they shouldn’t happen. Someone said that this is just proof that God has given us free will but why didn’t anything stop these people’s actions from becoming so dark and troubled. Less than 30 minutes ago I got out of bed and on the ground after hearing three loud bangs somewhere nearby in my neighborhood. After hearing three more a moment or two later I went to my parents bed. My dad overly sleepy was no help and showed either an incredibly calmness or ignorance. We all agreed the loud bangs couldn’t be anything else but gun shots but none of us were doing anything. Finally my mom called 911 and was told (based on the operator knowing our location) that the big bangs everyone was talking about were just fireworks. Only slightly relieved I went back to bed. After texting friends who live nearby. I officially am nervous. Worried. And scared about the future.
