The world is a scary place, we all know that. Everyday there are horrific things that happen that make us question the essence of our humanity. Things that make us wonder if we are any wild animals.
Its important for us to remember that we are just animals, we are bodies with flesh and bones and blood, made up of cells and chemicals, of electrical impulses. We are animals with fears, and thoughts, and reason.
Like animals we can get sick, lines get crossed, the recipe gets distorted.
I can't claim to know what the reasons for such tragedies, or what the right answer is for preventing it in the future.
I would like to offer this as a space to encourage everyone to get to know someone new, remember that there are people out there that are alone, that are hurting, that are scared. Be aware that when someone is a little weird, strange, "off" might mean they feel lost in their own head, that sometimes when someone is oddly quite, it's because no one has bothered to ask what is wrong.
There is nothing to be ashamed of in asking for help, and nothing more noble than being there for someone who has asked for your help.
Here are some places you can turn to if you, or someone you know may be feeling lost, scared or just need someone to talk to.
Please remember that there is nothing wrong with being afraid.
