what an incredibly sad world we live in.
i've had to sit with so many people and kids and hear such awful life experiences that sometimes i find myself numb to it all..until im eating lunch and the highschool girl behind me starts word vomiting terrible things as if it's just another day for her, and it brings me back.
i went to panera yesterday for some food and a high school girl and guy walked in and sat behind me. before they even sat down and got their food, the girl was already unloading to her friend how much she hates her mom and how terrible her mom is and how badly she cant wait to get away and about all the arguments her and her mom get into - it broke my heart! here is this beautiful, young little girl (a BABY!) and she has these huge adult troubles that no one should have to go through..
after expressing her hatred for her mom, she started having a typical conversation as if the things she were going through were normal for anyone - explaining how her mother yells at her about working hard to put food on the table but they live on food stamps. and how she has to carpool with her siblings and friends because they dont all have cars and live in the same apartment complex. this girl didnt ask for any of these things, this situation that strains her family's relationship..
what an awful horrible disgusting world we live in! we are just babies..especially these tiny little girls and boys who are just now going through high school and have an entire world of pressure on their shoulders. and its only going to get worse. what can be done? the world is seriously coming to an end...and jesus is coming soon :)
Taylor, I didn't know you had a blog! What beautiful writing, I hope you keep it up!
ReplyDeleteIt's true, the world is filled with so much sadness and it's so hard to see the beauty sometimes. But Jesus is coming. And hope is such a powerful feeling.
I hope you had a great birthday :) If you don't mind, I would love to share your blog on mine.
