[ bad things happen, but they are not always bad. ]

I was looking for this song I've told you about (The Adventure by Angels and Airwaves) on imeem. All I found were 30-second ones, so I was really frustrated. I thoguht maybe I would make myself an account so I could get the full version but no, every song uploaded now lasts only 30 seconds. Saves space, I guess.

So then I started reading the comments people put on the song, to see if they felt the same way I did about it, and I noticed most of the comments were "It reminds me of Anna", "Rest in peace, Anna". and other related things. So who was this Anna? I read on. A little later I got to one comment that started with "To those who do not know, Anna Svidersky was..." Another had a YouTube link with a The Adventure video with memoirs of Anna in it, so I clicked. The link is up there. People do seem to associate the song with Anna Svidersky.

...And when I watched the video, I was touched. Anna seemed like a really sweet and really nice person who was full of life and energy. The guy who killed her took a great girl away. I would've liked to meet her. Her MySpace is still loaded with comments and I know people have not and will never will forget her. It's one of those stories that reach out and grab you and make you aware of the things that are happening around you. Things you would rather close your eyes to and not see. Too bad it had to take an innocent seventeen-year-old to make you open your eyes to them. Anna will be greatly missed by those she knew and those who care for her, all over the world.
