Stuff like this can happen so easily, all the time, everywhere. Our economies are made of paper. Most Americans a rent check away from despair. And as much as people don’t like it, we all constantly depend on one another to hold up the social contract.

Which is why I struggle when people don’t take these threats as seriously as they should. When you’re hyper attune to danger, these situations feel like you are always watching a car crash happen in slow motion. It makes you feel helpless and scared, for we should KNOW BETTER.

And it’s just then I have remind myself of everything I’ve learned, that the path forward is the same route of acceptance. That we are scared. That it’s okay to be scared. That’s it’s good for me to talk and get this off my chest. And know we have to keep doing what we can do.

Because in the end, the emotion has a true, healthy, incredible purpose. Fear is what keeps us alive. <3
