“We live in a world where we are fed so much negativity, if it bleeds, it leads. And so every time we scroll on Facebook or Instagram, we see horrific story after horrific story, tragedy after tragedy. Recently, you know, just a brutality just down the road from us. And it seems like you just can't escape these things. And every time we read this, it feels like a little bit of the hope that we have is taken from us. And it's little by little, we feel like, again, we have no options.”
