The tragedy of the massacre that took place exactly a week ago...I've spent 10 minutes trying to find a sufficient end to that sentence that would describe the way I feel right now, but there is no words. I can't find a single sentence that portrays complete sadness, helplessness, guilt, anger, incomprehension, lostness and confusion. When I think about it, I struggle for breath since the lump in my throat gets bigger when my thoughts race around the events that took place on that campus--a campus the same size as the one I attend. My eyes burn with tears at the mention of the event and when my mind ventures to imagine the fear and grief that grips the family, friends and entire VA Tech student body as they stand together in the horrible aftermath of the rampage.
I have friends who ask why no one helped the gunman earlier. I don't think that. The gunman was a coward. There's nothing more to add. As a so-called loner myself, one who finds herself situated socially on the pretty lower middle class, I can't imagine turning to that kind of hate. I'm tired of people using their helplessness and discontent in life to turn to acts like this and attempt to justify it. I watched some of those videos he made. I've read his elementary writing. And I've compared myself. I've had few friends. I've been broke while people around me are handed everything they could ever need. I've been jealous of the popular type and jealous of the rich folk. But I am not like the gunman. Because despite my unlucky hand at life, I still look out for humanity over myself. Sure, I buy myself a pair of shoes before I donate all my paycheck to charity. I take comfort in simple pleasures. But allowing my heart to fill with hate is something I could never fathom doing, even in times of complete desperation--which I have felt more that once. I am also not like the gunman, because even though I sit alone at the cafeteria and in Starbucks feeling sorry about not having a friend to talk to, I am NOT alone. I take comfort in having a friend in Jesus. He's always been there, in my deepest desperation, in my moments of extreme hopefulness. He never leaves my side and holds my hand when I need it the most.
So I hope that the families, friends and VA Tech student body are able to lay down at the feet of Jesus and cry with Him. Because He cries to for your pain and your grief. May He console your hearts.
God Bless You all. Know that you are in my prayers.
