There's been a ridiculous amount of shootings this year.

Also, for reference of how many actual shootings we've had this year, over 300. This is from October

Back in October the US had already hit 300 shootings and that doesn't alarm anyone? The planned parenthood shooting was the 351st.

At this point I'm not surprised, just saddened

It deeply saddens me at this point. The shock doesn't even happen anymore... Just, Sadness.

For all that we are supposed to be as Americans, I feel so let down. So disappointed. We've sat here for several years now as the Trump of the World practically and it's like we're crumbling under the pressure and the ridiculous setup we've been disintegrating in.

And for as much as I wish and want and dream to make a difference... I have no answers. No real words or solutions, bright ideas... I feel lost between what is even a possible glimmer of a solution. I want to keep faith in my country, to be proud of our history. But this is no achievement.. No celebration to be had. Regardless of where it's coming from, or who's doing the damage. Where is our preparation? We look like chickens running around with our heads cut off. And I know there are those out there trying. Doing something. Anything.

But we don't even stand in solidarity at this point.

It all feels quite hopeless. So I sit here, and I sulk. And I dream for a safer, better tomorrow.

But dreams won't carry us there, America.

Everyday I think we all wake up and expect to see our facebooks and news stations blaring new deaths and shootings. I agree, we do go to sleep at night and dream that things will get better. I hope they do. I hate this world we live in right now so filled with death and hate.
