2:19 am
things what i have seen. it is like i say i don't care you hate. i cannot this have to come from a higher. i am not the one to forgive what i see. no but i will not hate because the hate. will destroy me and now be a hate there like them. and your ability to say that you're not ever going to hate . i mean when you're fighting with like oh i hate you or whatever but you don't hate them obviously but even just to say that is just wrong considering the fact that you actually have a reason to hate. and i think it. says

2:26 am
has impacted me in ways i could have never imagined but like what she was telling us about her mom that's what got to me the most because my mom. is everything to me and if i watched her walk away from me knowing what was going to happen. i can't even imagine being strong enough to go on from that point. teenagers are really hard to reach now they're distracted with their phone the internet the social networks and i think that sonia change that for me at least. she had such a personal message that it was hard not to put yourself in her place and think about what it would be like to be her and i think that that got all of our attentions she made me want to change things the way things are she made me want to
2:27 am
make an impact on the world and i think that's why it's so important that she keeps talking to people and keeps changing people's lives like she did mine. your government and our government and all the other. major governments of the world know what's going to happen and when it's going to. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth. is going to cause tidal waves or earthquakes volcanoes erupt and it's going to chill. so very for a while right. my great grandfather's. nobody would care
