Karla's Chronicles

Life sometimes gets everyone down. It's only natural, but really all we need is some encouragement. 1. Be Still. Try not to preoccupy yourself with things that will take your mind off the real issue at the moment. Be still in the moment and try your best to reflect on it. Contrary to popular belief, it's ok to focus on your issues every once in a while. 2. Keep your head up. Scream and cry if you need to, but also realize that your strength is capable of super-human things, and it will never abandon you. 3. Talk about it. It doesn't matter if you have a youtube platform with lots of followers or a therapist. Find someone to confide in and talk your problems out with them if you feel comfortable. 4. Remember, you're never alone. Everyone feels some sort of troubles in their life, and if they tell you they don't they're lying. 5. It does get better. It must feel like a never-ending cycle, but I promise you, it does and will get better!!! Hang in there. :)

The world in which we live is so chilling. The violence is so malicious and senseless. It's not supposed to be a thing for parents to have to bury their children before they leave this Earth. It's just incomprehensible to me. It's not even so much a political issue even though some people tend to turn it into something it's not. Republican, Democrat, polka-dotted; it doesn't matter. We need to come together to come up with a law that works and prevents future tragedies like this from happening in the future. It doesn't need to happen later. It needs to happen NOW. Quit pussyfooting around the issue and understand that we are not trying to take guns from law-abiding citizens. We need to take assault-style weapons out of the hands of the average Joe. Aside from the police and military personnel, there is no need for such a high powered weapon in my opinion. I see arguments all of the time that people kill people guns do not. Well, someone has to pull the trigger ...
