I spent the first two hours I was awake, crying as I watched the news.
Every channel was talking about the massacre in Orlando.
I was surprised to find myself a sobbing mess, and apparently so was my dog, because she crawled up beside me trying to lick away my tears and let me hug her, but I couldn't stop.
I have no words to describe the sadness I feel for the victims and their families.
Also, for my country.
I am frightened because I know there is more to come, except there's no way to tell when or where.
It's so easy to not realize what's happening in the world, when you have every day problems that distract you from the global pain.
I wish there was something I could do, to save the people on this planet, to save my home.
