Letter From London

[IamFree]

So it has been londons turn today...I was in work and the news was breaking..after a couple of hours of my own nervous system eating me alive I was in floods of tears in the staff lounge like it was me who it had happen to..i dont feel good about it..but it was just all so evocative of mothers murder...the breaking news all the city talking about it.(it was front page news in liverpool)...some of my tears were for my self but some of them were for all those affected who are now on the ride they can not get off..journey well and good luck with all my heart.

I just now signed in, because of this, to find what people do, how they deal (or don't deal) with all these awful events.

A week and a half avoiding this stuff and yet there I am, logging in to the website half an hour after this hits the news...


It's horrible news and i'm so sorry for everyone who feels close to this, whether physically close, emotionally, or both... I'm in the u.s. and feeling detached at the moment. So right now, I sympathize with sorrow, and wish better things for everyone, everywhere.
