Lately I've been watching the news quite a bit, and I've been generally shocked about things that are happening around us. In Ohio, a man unleashed several of his wild animals that he kept as pets (including lions, monkeys, and tigers) and then killed himself. About 40 of them were killed by police because it was night time and they were trying to defend the citizens. Recently, a video went viral of a 14 year old giving a blow job to a boy she allegedly was trying to win back after he broke her heart. A dictator was murdered alive today in Libya by rebels. Pictures and videos of his beating and dead body are all over the internet. In Greece, there have been riots and violence happening because of a bill that was passed in their government. Over a hundred were left injured and a few people died. Somewhere, thousands of kids are starving tonight. Someone is dying from AIDS, cancer, or not having any water. Somewhere, an innocent person is being raped or murdered. Can you imagine?
I don't understand the world. There is so much pain and suffering.
Last night I threw up. I forgot what it felt like to throw up so badly. I hadn't in a while. I also got a fever. When I thought about it more, I realized - there are people out there that are so insecure about their bodies they force themselves to throw up their meals.
I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow about my bad periods.
Somewhere out there, there's a girl just like me, probably several of them that suffer just as much if not more than me during her periods. The only difference between us is that I have medical treatment accessibility and she doesn't.
Right now, my mom is sitting across from me watching a British show. Right now, someone's mom is gone and won't ever come back.
I'm completely mind bottled. I've been studying quite a bit of World History lately. I'm reading about hundreds of wars that have occurred in the past, some centuries or thousands of years ago. Think of all those people who died, some for no reason at all. We're still living in a similar world.
This is what I wish:
-I wish everyone had food, water, and shelter
-I wish everyone was educated
-I wish everyone was mentally stable
-I wish greed and ignorance no longer exists
Sure, I can wish all I want, but I'm not so sure the world will ever change and be that utopia we all want it to be. For now, if anything, we need to be aware.
