Four

by @LactoseIntollerantScorpio

Four years ago, I felt like the world was ending. My friend Christina Grimmie was murdered on June 10th. On June 12th, 50 people were killed in a night club. Four years ago 51 people lost their lives to gun violence. Every year since then, around this time I'm eaten by a certain sadness. It's hard to describe. It's like I can't breathe, or I'm taking in oxygen and it's never enough. It's like theres holes in my lungs and the air is escaping. Never quite full, never quite the same. I miss her. I feel the Pulse family's pain. Most of all, though, I feel sick. Like every time I think about what happened I want to vomit. I miss her. Four years ago and I miss her more and more.
