Loss in Orlando – personal
I was friends with a male-female couple who were killed in Orlando. They weren’t gay, but they were friends with people who were. They were celebrating a birthday. I just learned of their passing and I’m not sure how to feel about it. I do feel something.
I feel a sense of loss. I feel angry that some jerk with unresolved issues and a homophobic father felt the need to express his self-hatred on innocent people. I’m angry that two people I considered friends (albeit, online friends) have been taken from me for stupid, selfish reasons. I realize my reasons are selfish, but that’s how I feel. It’s what I feel.
I think I chose the wrong words, above… “not sure how to feel”… I know how to feel about it. I know what I feel about it. I guess I’m at a loss for how to vent it and express it.
I am saddened and angered. I won’t be drinking in their honor, but I will find a way to respect them and the impact they had on my life.
Thank you for reading. I’ll post a game update in the next few days.
