“My mood was kinda down recently. My friend noticed and he asked me if I was okay. I said I was upset because of what’s happening in the world. And, he laughed. You know, he was like “Really?” He could not understand how that could effect me to that kind of level. But, I mean, I guess I couldn’t understand how he couldn’t understand that it could, given the seriousness of some of the things happening in the world right now. So, there was no understanding there.” (Ritika Hamal, Washington D.C)
