We are one united.

I have no words.

I wasn't writing a second part to this but if i'm honest i feel like i should now that more has come to light; and the world is in mourning for the lives that have been took. 

In honesty I'm writing more to come to terms with what has happened; and how one person can take all these lives. 22 people lost their lives; 22 innocent. Its horrifying; and I can't seem to come to terms with the fact someone planned all this. It sickens me the idea that people planned this, and then a man went into an arena filled with defenceless men, women and children with purpose of destroying as many as he could. 

From my area there is four, who have died. The North-East was in full panic; social media going berserk over the couple of days they were thought to be missing; you could open an account with a flurry of people sharing heartfelt message and keeping the chain of status' going on. But then in the early hours of this morning, we woke to find that all four who were classed purely as missing were in fact victims to the attack. They were just a young couple; and a step-father and daughter picking up a younger child. 

One the main reasons I've added this second part is so that I can publish the list of those who lost their lives; i just think its the right thing to do;

May each and everyone, rest in peace.

For each one who died, they are victims of something that shouldn't be; an extremist world that will never win; and they needlessly lost their lives; all so very young and a large number so very young; one even eight whose lives had barely begun.

-

The horror doesn't end there though, fact is the actions of a few have caused more pain and horror for a world that is already in pain. Families are broken: parents without children, children without parents; relationships ripped apart: Husbands without wives; girls without their boys; boys without their girls. The papers, the tabloids all printing the real news; the front pages covered in the horror that unfolded not the usual pointless celebrity tales. 

 And poor Ariana Grande. A star, a raw piece of talent who is according to media broken. She herself feels the guilt, feels in some way responsible for someone else's actions. She is a beautiful piece of light, a kind hearted soul. Media has reported that she is offering to pay for the funerals of the victims who came to see the star; another clear show of unity.   

Celebrities across the world are broken by the news; James Corden gave a tribute all the way from America; John Bishop, Celine Dion, Cheryl, Harry Styles to name a few and if anything this has proven that the world is united because no matter who you are race, nationality, wealth, gender, religion; we are united against those who in their extremity cause such an unimaginable pain. 

Take for example the fact two homeless helped, ran into the arena to try and help. They pulled nails out of children's faces, held people as they died, did such goodness without a second thought for themselves. People most would walk past, when in the street. 

So i think more than ever, if these events can teach us anything or give us anything positive its that now we shouldn't look at people for the colour of their skin, or their religion; we should look at them for who they are because as much as social media wants to tarnish a single religion for these crimes, people need to be reminded they are all guilty for these crimes; the people who do this are extremists. We as a world need to stop trying to find anyone to blame, but instead come together as one and find a way to stop those who are guilty, not just those who are stereotyped as being guilty. 

Today i was told that in school, children had been told about it; told of the attack. When the inevitable questions came, i had no words; i tried to sooth- told them it was nothing to worry about and that they were safe...but in my head i knew that i didn't know that. That itself makes me sick to my stomach.

The world we live in is filled with a majority of good people; but those few who are out for destruction cause our beautiful little world to be place plagued with fear; and so if i get any message out from this i want it to be that one day we won't live in this fear anymore and that one day these types of attacks will just be history, and not something that appears on the global news. 

We are united. We are one. We stand strong together.
