Diary

Okay so I heard about the Boston marathon thing that happened today and it is horrible and my heart goes out to anyone involved. Then I get on twitter and tumblr to see that people are saying things like “I wish Justin bieber and Taylor swift were in it” and I literally wanted to punch someone. That is not okay whatsoever. Think about the people that actually were involved in this, imagine how hurtful it is to them to be joking around about it, because they actually were there. I don’t care how much you dislike someone or hate their music, it is never okay to wish death or trauma on anyone. Then I saw a bunch of things saying “Zayn Malik is a terrorist” I was like… What? are you kidding me? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life. Like where did that even come from? Would you go up to a Muslim kid at your school and say “hey thanks for 911”? No you would not. Because it is not okay to descriminate against them because of their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything like that. Because you know that that kid didn’t do anything whatsoever. So then how is that any different when it comes to calling zayn a terrorist? Because you can’t actually see his reaction to it? Because you don’t have to look him in the eye and say it? My god I don’t even know what this world has come to. I’m soooo pissed off right now.

I don’t understand death. I don’t understand how its possible for someone to be with you, and within days, minutes, and seconds they are gone. Gone. Gone seems like such an obsolete word. There is no coming back, there is no second chance or undo, they are gone forever. Today the world lost a wonderful man. A wife lost her husband, two boys lost their dad, and everyone who knew him lost an amazing friend. I can’t decide which is worse, to loose someone suddenly, or to know they are dying and to have time to say goodbye. In a way its harder to have to say goodbye. What do you say? how do you leave the room knowing that’s the last time you’ll ever see them, how do you tell someone everything you love about them knowing that they are leaving you. We all say that if someone dies suddenly, you wish you had the chance to say goodbye, but in reality its just as hard. I don’t know how everyone is dealing with this. When we go to the memorial feel free to cry. If you didn’t know him, cry for the loss of a wonderful man, cry for others who are hurting. If you did know him, cry for all of the memories you had with him, and cry for all the ones you wont get to share. Rest in peace Leslie. You will be missed everyday, and celebrated for the wonderful life you lived and the incredible man you were.
