Again? :/

And yet again, another teenage death. Well the guy who tried to commit suicide didn't succeed thank god, but he's still not doing the best. But I actually knew the girl this time. I took dance with her and her younger sister when I was in fifth grade. I didn't realize it until I saw a picture on her Facebook of when she was a little girl.

I feel it every time something happens to a teenager, something inside of me just aches for them, because I relate it to myself. I think about how much life I have ahead of me, how much I'm looking forward to college, and then starting a career and eventually starting a family. <3 I think about how they'll never live to experience any of those things.

I was talking to somebody about the accident, and he said "it's sad, but it was their own fault." I couldn't find the words to explain how I felt at that moment. "it was their fault." sure, it wasn't the smartest decision, but saying that's not going to change anything. It's not going to change the fact that our community has lost yet another teen and 2 others are in critical condition. It doesn't change anything.

I cry every time I hear about something like this, regardless if I know them or not. With everything that's been happening lately, I just want you to know, I love you all. And please please please, for the love of god, be safe. <3

Sincerely,
This would happen
