(untitled)

everything bleeds pain
loss
deep deep loss.
there has to be meaning
there has to be a reason
cut to the core
to stunned to speak
to think
to eat.
what have we become
what could have prevented
the loss
the torment
the motivations
the blind asinine reasons
so much hurt
so much pain

speechless

there is nothing that can really put into words what this all feels like

surreal

but what can i do?


 
i will smile when i see another person
i will acknowledge and try to treat others the way i hope to be treated
i will move forward
i will pay it forward
i will kill it with kindness
i will try to exercise empathy in my everyday life
regardless of where i am inside
i will do my best

so that all of those beautiful smiling faces will continue to smile....through me. through my smile, I will honor all of those taken far too soon.

i will show love and hope
peace and respect
human to human

(i wish to extend my sympathy to those affected by events today in Connecticut. in my thoughts and prayers..)
