Listening to: 28 Days Later OST
Feeling: devastated
6:31 Sunday Evening   It's for the Kids I famine-d this weekend. it was depressing and devastating and heart-wrenching and thought provoking 29,000 children die of hunger and hunger related causes. every. single. day. You don't realise how many 29,000 is until you try to put 29,000 stickers onto a piece of butcher paper. or spread 29,000 pennies on a table. or watch 600 candles get snuffed out in half-an-hour. one every three seconds. The world is handed to me on a silver platter. i don't have to worry if i'll eat tomorrow. my belly isn't swollen with lack of salt and protein. I don't eat because i'm hungry, I eat because it's a hobby. come home, take something from the cupboard, what looks good today?

You never really do think about it until it's up in your face.

I wish we were all a little less ignorant, and a little more aware.
I still have my money for you by the way. I hope I see you soon so I can give it to you.
yes...we never really think about that unless it's brought to our attention like that...it's kind of sad.

Yes, we will all hang out within the next couple of weeks. I will be sure to call you. We will all rule the world.
It makes me want to cry.

But then I go and stuff my face anyway.
In 3rd world countries, people walk for up to three HOURS just to get water.

...I walk less than three minutes.
