I sometimes say inappropriate things without meaning to because I'm angry, hurting, and feeling a lot of anxiety. I'm so sorry for the harm I've caused others and I'm working hard to stop being that person because that is someone I don't want to be. Please forgive my past self.
Where were you and what were you doing on September 11, 2001?
On September 11, 2001, I was 13 years old and in the 9th grade in Raymond, Alberta, Canada. I was prepping for school when my mom's friend called her and told her to turn the TV on. My mom did and saw the news. My U.S.-born mom asked her friend what movie was playing. Her friend told her it wasn't a movie.
Where were you and what were you doing on that day? If you existed then and feel comfortable sharing, I invite you to do so.
My friend coreyants told me of some devastating news: Keith Nale, beloved alumni of Survivor: San Juan Del Sur and Survivor: Cambodia has passed away from cancer. It's such a blow because Keith was absolutely loved by a lot of people, including me. *Hugs* to Wes and everyone else affected by this loss at this time.

I was talking on Discord with my friend coreyants and he suddenly told me that Kirstie Alley was dead. I did not want to believe him, but I googled it and saw it. My heart dropped: a LEGEND had been snatched away by the hellish killer that cancer is. It's so sad and it's not fair at all. Cancer has no right. We need to find a cure for it so it can stop snatching people!
***
Rest in Peace, dear Kirstie.
