Im very sad at the passing of the Queen, I felt like crying when I heard the news today. She seemed like a lovely lady and we all felt like we knew her a bit. I get sad when anyone passes away and I feel terribly sorry for her family.
I do feel a bit confused at everything that's happened since though. The idea of 10 days of compulsory mourning really bothers me. I hate being told how to feel and the idea that we are being told to be sad for 10 days feels very wrong and totalitarian. Weve had two years of lockdowns and hundreds of thousands of people have buried their loved ones due to the pandemic, people are starving and unable to pay their bills. Forcing us to be even sadder and cancelling the few events and sports etc that cheer people up at this awful, tough time in life feels quite cruel.
Im actually feeling really depressed at the thought of it all
I feel like Im being an awful person for thinking these things but none of this makes sense to me and I have to get that out somewhere
Really hope I havnt offended anyone. I have a lot of respect for the Queen and I am sad at her passing
