I don't quite know how to deal.

So as I put in the title, I don't really know how to deal with life right now. It seems every week something bad and horrible happens somewhere in the world.

I'm sure most of the world heard about what happened in Las Vegas recently :'( such a horrible, horrible senseless tragedy. How does one person just decide that he's going to take a bunch of guns and hole up in a hotel and just start shooting? :'( I'm crying just thinking about it. 

Two nights ago I found out that I actually have a distant cousin who was in Las Vegas. He is from California and two friends went with him. My cousin was shot, but survived. One of my cousin's friends was unharmed but his other friend was killed. 

Can you imagine planning a fun trip with friends, never knowing that this will change you forever? That it will be the very last trip you take together? 

There's so much wrong with the world. Too many care only about their own happiness. They're selfish, they think of nothing but the next form of entertainment and so on.....I could continue-

The same day I found out about my cousin, I found out about someone else. 

Where I work, there is a woman who has been someone I enjoyed seeing and working with. I'm not sure of her exact age, but she is probably in her 50's or 60's. 

Well, Wednesday I was told that she has terminal cancer :'( it's such a shock to everyone because she did not appear ill. I can hardly believe it. Today I heard that hospice has already been called in.

I don't know if I can handle hearing any more bad news -

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through such a hard time. I know that right now it seems like there is little good in the world, but I promise that it is there.

Stay strong and remember that you have people who love you. <3

I'm sorry to hear that :'( but i guess lately we have been living in a mad world. That is why is very important for us uphold our values and instill it to our children from young so that they know what is right and what is wrong . Its sad that people no longer value love , humantarian , friendship and etc.. We just can pray for things to get better . Stay strong life is a series of test.

Thats just howls life is.. I dont know but I also have some family in LA but I never meet them so I dont know if their okay or not.. Remember that hurricane that happen not that long ago well it also passed by family home and I heard one of them is injured and with the earthquakes that happen in Mexico recently it all happen where my grandparents lives and my friend is over there but lucky their all okay but I cant say the same with others.. I also found a lot of stuff right now with my family and its just horrible and I wont say a lot but knowing that there is a chance that your parents might get taken away from you when you keep getting sick is just too much for me so I know how you feel but Thats just life and life a but we have to keep living for the people who end their lifes or if it was taken away from them.. We just have to keep living life for them even if we met them or not because this can happen at any random time and my sister told me 2 years ago that my childhood friend brother went to a school with his girlfriend and a friend from school and started to shoot at the students,when I first heard that I was so shocked because I knew him from I was born and he was a good kid so imagining finding out he killed people was a lot and I felt horrible for his parents cause their like my family to me. I talked to his cousin since she was in my class and she was really disappointed and upset with him. We just have to keep living for others and yourself
