You see how bad the world can be when you've been up close and have seen the things most people in their lives will never see. You've seen the anger, the terror, the violence, the blood, the pain, the hurt, the heartache and the sadness. You wonder how any of this can happen. then you wonder how all of it can happen in one setting over and over again. Murder, Domestic Violence, Sexual Abuse, Child Abuse, Assault/Battery, Alcoholism/Addiction, Drug Abuse/Addiction, Thieviery, Attempted Suicide, And Death.
You'd think I was talking about a day in the life of a police officer, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong. Unfortunately, I've seen all of this at a very young age. A few incidents were shielded from me, but I still know every last detail and the images are there from what I learned about it.
I know all of this has affected me whether or not conciously or subconciously, it's all still there. I've taken it all in. I always wanted to help make the world better by helping people and I still do. I think sometimes though, how can I do that for everyone else when I couldn't help people in my own family.
