What is the world coming to...
I'm absolutely heartbroken and sad about the terrorist attack in Manchester. Those people that are dead, the injured and the families and friend affected didn't deserve this. It's frightening that we live in a world like this.
Now I hope this doesn't sound selfish, but with all these terrible attacks it made my mum really nervous about travelling overseas. Since 2011 ever two years my parents and I have gone to Europe for a month. Last time we just missed the attack in Nice (we were there around 6 months prior). With what happened recently in terms of terrorism it's made my mum (and me) scared. She's not sure about it. She also struggles with the 24 hour plane ride and is having health issues. I don't want to sound selfish about what's happened, yet it is heartbreaking and pissing me off that these people are not only causing such carnage and death but a lot of fear. It's making people scared to travel and live their lives.
For me, while I'm scared, I hate that I might have to not do something because of a bunch of evil bastards want to destroy the world. I feel like they win because it's stopping people from living their lives.
So from here, I guess I wait and see what happens next. Mum's having tests done and I'm thinking that I could research countries that are safer to travel to. I really don't want to miss out on travelling because I love it.

no subject
I don't want to frighten you further or sound like your fears are groundless, but I personally think the scariest thing about it isn't traveling anymore, but the knowledge that this could happen right where you are, at the most innocent function you go to, like a normal English town...
*hugs*
