      Scary, to say the least. Has it affected you long term? I’d imagine it’d leave someone with PTSD, even if you weren’t really close to it.

        I wasn’t shot, so it’s not the same suffering as others went through. I’m not sure if I have PTSD from it. I think a lot of Americans get a feeling of disgust when hearing the minimization of gun violence.

        It wasn’t the only mass causality event I lived through. I don’t feel the need to share the stories with most people in my life but if the topics come up, I’m comfortable sharing my experiences.

        so, i’ve got ptsd from a few different events and only the worst one fucked with my memory. strangely, that’s the one i wanted to forget and i forgot like, almost everything before it. so like it’s where my memory begins. yaaaaaaay.

        Sorry if I put a damper on the festival that you’re going to and looking forward to. It’s intended to be a wholesome fun time, and it is. You’ll have a good time. I did. There was just a sick person there that hurt a lot of other people that one time. But that’s a rare risk that just occurs in the USA.

          Nah no worries, I forgot that it happened and that makes me very lucky. If you can come, i hope to see you. If you can’t, want me to grab you anything?
