Everything seems like a dream almost. It just seems so surreal. I know of the civil-rights movement, but I never thought I would see this for myself. To actually live here can be overwhelming, because a lot of people who come here weep and show their sympathy for the family. It’s been kinda hectic, especially when people come out and just have a breakdown in front of Michael Brown’s death site.
Honestly, my eating patterns and sleeping patterns were off dramatically. I was trying to sleep throughout the whole day, and I really couldn’t eat much, but a lot of prayer helped me through that. I’ve tried to get away sometimes, but I realized it’s better to be here, to give my regards to those people who come here to weep.
I’ve been trying to find some coping method. I’ve talked to people. It won’t fix the severity of everything that happened. The image in my head, that can never be fixed.
I just really honestly hope there is justice, whatever the verdict is. If Darren Wilson is found innocent by a jury of peers, then that’s the verdict. The sadness is that Mike’s plan was to become famous. It happened after his time.
