This ain't a fairytale.

I sit on my bed typing this blog, and I can't help but think about what life has in store for me, or for anyone. I watch the news, and I think about people whose lives are crumbling right before their eyes, and then I think about the people who don't have one worry in the world. How is that fair? It isn't. It boggles my mind that people can do terrible terrible things to others, and don't even feel any type of pain or agony about it. I watched a story on the news about a woman who was raped by her older brother, and then he tried to kill her. I watched it, and my heart completely sunk. Not because of how terrible her situation was, but because that kind of thing happens ALL THE TIME, everywhere in the world... And it goes completely overlooked. I consider myself a fairly aware person, but still, nobody can truly know the extent of what type of horror and terror goes on in our world.

What made me post this blog is because a boy at my school came to school completely bruised, cut up, and aweful looking. He left class early, and we later found out it was because his dad beat him up, and pushed him down the stairs. This boy's family goes to church, and are seemingly good people. None of us know what types of things go on behind closed doors. It makes me sick to my stomach.

Things are bad everywhere, and for everyone. I wish that I could look past the bad things, and focus on the good... But it is really freaking hard sometimes. I feel like an idiot for focusing on boys, and clothes, and whatever, when things like that are happening all around me.



I need a reality check.
God, I do.
