Five Years

Diem,

Today was a rather melancholy day. This day marks five years since the Pulse shooting in Orlando, and how we - the LGBTQ community, the Latine community, and Orlando - lost 49 wonderful lives so quickly. It's impossible to think about. I know gun violence - more personally than some, though I think everyone raised in the recent America is pretty familiar with it - and still have so much difficulty wrapping my head around the tragedy that night. I wasn't able to attend in-person memorials today, but I definitely had my own thing today. I know nothing can ever actually Fix what happened, but I hope the ones who survived that night - and the families of those who didn't - are doing well recently.

My heart is with them all
--M
