Somes I feel desensatized

But so much content/news etc out there.  I was just reading about that school shooting in Ohio.  HORRIBLE and so sad but I also found myself thinking "oh another school shooting " like it was just another story that happens all the time.  I feel so bad for those kids and the families of those that passed.

that is the EXACT SAME conversation MH & I had last night.  Terrible situation and I find it interesting that the news coverage has not been all that much.  Sign of the times I guess

I had the same exact thoughts. But you want to knwo the story that REALLY got me. The 10 yr old out in LA that got into a fight and wound up dying from blunt force trauma

im embarassed to admit that i sometimes feel the same way. i dont even turn on the news anymore, and i avoid headlines. it makes me sad. i think i force myself to be desensitized. otherwise i feel like i would be overcome with grief on a daily basis when it comes to violence around us. i brought a baby into this world, and i plan on having more. that scares me. he is going to share the world with these violent, perverse, effed up lunatics.

i try not to think about it. maybe that makes me an ignorant bad person. so be it. its self preservation.

this is why MH gets so worked up over these headlines. If I dwell on it for too long it can get depressing.

Ditto this!  For some odd reason I keep thinking about the plane crash that happened on 287 before Christmas where the whole family perished.  Not the same thing as a school shooting but it's all tragedy nonetheless.  I tend to not watch the news either.  I (unfortunately) get the news from the Nest and FB and tend to ignore the headlines when I can.
