As I sit out on my urban patio with a cup of freshly ground coffee (with powdered creamer-ugh), I cannot help but remember the terrible news I received yesterday. A young woman in which I played basketball with and ran track with in high school was murdered, along with her mother and step-father.
I don't need to remind you of where I'm from, but this shit just does NOT happen in our quaint little town. Especially to good people such as the Davis'. Chante was always so bubbly and ready to give a laugh...unless we were crossing a bridge. She was always afraid of bridges.
Murdered. I still can't wrap my head around it.
There was also another murder close to me in which my co-worker's sister/daughter was shot just a few blocks away from where I work. All of this loss has really got me wondering-What the hell is it all for? Why do people feel they are allowed to take another life? It positively disgusts me.
There is something wrong with the world today, and I pray that it eases. I know it's a big, bad nasty world out there, but shouldn't we unite? Rise up together as one? With different beliefs and cultures, I feel the tension, but is this world really getting this malicious?
GO EGYPT!
In closing, I pray for all of you, wish you well and hope that you take each day as a blessing, because until we learn to love our neighbor, we're in for one big shit storm of hurt.
Whatever you believe-I have faith in humanity, still. I know that we can make a difference instead of turning a blind eye or letting biases rule our minds. It's got to stop. Good luck out there, peeps.
