There's this thing that happened today, this thing I don't know if I should talk about. I keep finding myself hitting this wall over and over. I worry a lot about boring people but I also like my job and my friends.
I read something this morning that full on caught my attention and I can't shake it even now. On Wednesday two women pled guilty to the bombing of the University of Washington's Horticulture Center in 2001. I went to high school with the sister of one of those women. We were 12 and she was 8ish? I occasionally still send Christmas cards to her parents.
All I can think about is what a terrible tragedy this is for everyone concerned. It also reminds me that it has been months and months since I was in contact with my friend. I definitely don't condone this kind of destruction to make a point, no matter how valid. I also know that this whole matter affects people who are very dear to me. My heart aches for them, for all of them; friend, sister, parents, siblings. I just don't have the words.
