i’m feeling really gross about the parkland shooting, idk how to explain how i’m feeling but there’s this pit in my stomach and i feel almost nauseous. nothing has ever made me feel like this except the car accident i was in last october, and i’m really getting emotional right now. i want to help but idk how, i don’t have any money to donate and i can’t give up my life to go to florida and help the victims. i want to do something so badly

i also feel like if i do something to help these people, will i feel guilty for helping them and “abandoning” my other dream in a sense? i want to help lgbtq+ youth but i want to stand up for school shooting victims and i’m so worried people will judge me for choosing one over the other. i’m more directly affected by the lgbtq+ one (being pan) but i also live 30-40 ish minutes away from newtown, where the shooting happened in 2012

i remember it so clearly, and i keep reading about school shootings in the us (there have been 18 this year and it’s only february) and i just don’t know what to do. i feel so sad and angry and incapable

it’s amazing that you want to help and no one will judge you for following your heart ❤️
