But then I woke up and heard the news about Las Vegas, and everything else felt irrelevant.
I immediately took to Twitter and scrolled through updates, watched the videos, and cried. And I thought to myself,
"We can't stop these kinds of things from happening."
Isn't that horrifying?
Of course, I don't want that to be true. I hope it isn't true. I don't think we should ever stop educating about gun safety (and gun control - I am a giant proponent for that), or mental illness, or the importance of being kind. I don't think we should ever stop wishing, hoping, and praying for better. I don't think we should ever stop trying or fighting for love. But what else can we do? That's not a rhetorical question - what else?I'll tell you what: we can't let fear keep us from living our lives.
Short of this post, I am at a loss for words today. Las Vegas, you're at the front of my mind, and in my heart. This can't keep happening.
