Humanity....

The earthquake in Haiti has taken precedence on most news channels and coverage on this has been extensive....
it is disheartening to see the images and videos that are surfacing from the country....
the reports and articles of the amount of suffering in the country is unimaginable....
recently, I was listening to the radio to my favorite morning show, the DJs were appalled by a letter they received...
someone actually emailed them complaining about why the government was increasing the amount of troops we were sending to Haiti to help with the relief....
he said that he felt bad for the people but didnt understand why everyone was making such a big deal and why all these relief efforts were made....
i was honestly surprised that people like that still exist...the lack of empathy is a little sickening...
he basically said that its not in our country so its not our problem....
its crazy how someone can have a mentality like that...
would you walk away from a dying person on the street?...im thinking most likely not...so how can one turn their back to other human beings when they help the most...
i dont understand where this guy was coming from....but thank God, theres many that arent like him...
the government is matching donations on a site for Haiti...
plancanada.ca ....made my donation, may not be millions but every little bit helps....

on a personal note...
finally told the bf that i want to go to europe for travel nursing....
it was a lot harder than I thought it would be...but he understands...
ive been really afraid of how he'll react, but he surprisingly took it better than i thought..
of course hes not happy about it...but he's accepting of it....
telling him took so much of out me emtionally...couldnt sleep all night...only got like 1-2 hrs....
went to clinical today, and on top of everything i run into the one person i really didnt want to see...
ran into him twice today...wat the hell..wat are the odds of that...
i think ive decided that i wouldnt mind never seeing him again...never imagined i would want that....
but its easier that way.....
