Ok I’ve had enough of the explosions and fires
I’m nowhere near this but for heavens sake!! What is with all the explosion, planes crashes, fires, earthquakes. We are not living right. Praying for everyone. 🙏
Everything’s on purpose to try to break us. We’re going to have to be strong and help each other. Everyone else will fall.

They really won’t let us live . Everything we need to live is just going away. To many catastrophies.
