"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.

It doesn’t seem like Sarah has ever had much use for self-control. This is both surprising and encouraging.
Ah — but here’s the thing. Sarah will tell people she has poor impulse control, but it’s not really the case. All throughout her friendship and then relationship with Ruth, she’s shown no problem doing the responsible thing and exercising self control.
When she fell for Ruth but thought Ruth could never feel the same, she took herself out of the situation. Now that there’s a hiccup, where the way their relationship was working kind of stopped, she’s willing to do the work to make sure the person she cares the most about is happy.
Sarah is more than capable of resisting her impulses, she just chooses not to if she doesn’t think anyone will get hurt.
