I miss when I was young and naive and thought the world was basically good. I feel like in today's world I have to protect my nieces and nephews, and future children from what the world really is, which is just sad.

The only solace I get occasionally is focusing on looking at the stars, and what's out in space, and the vastness of it all, reminding me every once in a while that what happens on our little slice of the universe isn't all there is.
