"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

Sometimes it’s easier to stick to your own clique than to try and meet new people. I have learned that some people are just very cliquey and don’t want to make new friends. Although being part of clubs and organizations generally help add new people and new connections such as the case here.
I wouldn’t use the word “clique” in this case so much as there are some people who are introverted or socially uncomfortable talking to random people.
Have to admit, I barely know half the staff at the conventions I been going to for years… to be fair they’re hours away and I never attend staff meetings, just kinda show up day of. Well, day before, typically.
