I admit, the Orlando news didn't hurt that much.
But then, I sat down and tried to imagine the faces of 49 people who were doing nothing wrong. I tried to imagine families, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers crying over a hole in their lives never to replaced.
Then I thought of friends. I was at a speedrunning marathon when it happened, and three of my speed friends who were there went out to a restaurant that was in the LGBT district during the event. My friends could have just as easily been in that.
When I look beyond the stats, I just see a cruel, cruel world and I know that changes have to come.
