Mass shooting, thoughts and prayers, facebook debates, everyone forgets, congress does nothing, crickets chirping. This cycle repeats itself over and over again. I do not want this to continue.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.
