What is even happening?

A few days ago there was yet another mass shooting. An elementary school. 19 dead children and two dead teachers.

So another day in America...it's strange to be [attempting to] writing a dystopian story while the world outside my door is about as dystopian as its ever been.

I don't have a lot of insight or wisdom. No one does anymore, just some people like to hear themselves talk more than others. So both sides have these opinions- gun control, armed guards in schools, it's the most bizarre and, yes, dystopian shit I've ever heard. There's no common ground. None. If we can't find common ground over dead children, it simply doesn't exist.

I've deactivated Facebook again, dedicating my time to writing the book, spending extra time with Keagan since she doesn't have the companionship of Stevie anymore, and continuing to pursue my own healing journey. One step at a time.
