Maybe you've heard by now but, yesterday, on France's national day, a murdered ran a massive truck at full speed on the people of Nice. He drove on 2km before he got stopped, killing 84 people, including a lot of children, and about 20 people are still in a critical condition.
Im so, so sorry, for all the people who lost a close one last night, all of those who must be worried sick that someone they know might be dead. Please keep them in your thoughts.

When the Paris attacked happenned i said that we would not be afraid and that despite the bombs we would keep dancing and singing. I still believe that, but its getting harder and harder not be scared. Last night was a reminder that these attacks can still happen anytime, and not just in Paris but anywhere in France. My brother planned to go to the restaurant where one of the parisian shooting happened, and only because he and his friends decided otherwise at the last minute were they alive by the end of the night. What if he's not so lucky next time ? My little sister is going to a massive concert in Paris soon and what if something happens to her ? I wish i knew how not to be scared of that but i dont. How can i not be scared of men who would run over little kids on a national day ?
I cant answer that. And there is probably no answer anyway, just as this tragedy is just a pure act of hatred. But what really matters is that we do not let this fear get the best of us and stay united in those times of hate. I believe keeping the people of Nice in our thoughts and prayers will help that. And i hope everyone stay safe.

Take care.
