I’m not sure I can stand another happy ending.
Everyone knows many cry during sad scenes in movies and books.
I cry during the happy parts, too.
It makes me feel incredibly riciculous and silly. But when they portray my deepest desires and hopes and wishes they make it all the more real to me that I shall never see them come true.
And that stings.
Beauty and the Beast, Pride and Prejudice, Avatar, Harry Potter..it does not matter. I am pulled into these wonderous worlds and at the end of the book/movie I violently crash into what’s commonly known as reality. And I long to go back. I long to escape this life and drown in my imagination.
And I don’t dare to tell anyone because it is full of folly and silliness.
When people fled Fukushima and other parts of Japan a year ago, thousands of pets were left behind. While many pets have since been reunited with their owners, a horrific situation still exists in the no-go 12.5-mile radiation zone around the damaged nuclear plants.
There, homeless dogs and cats are still wandering around the area, according to World Vets founder and CEO Cathy King. She told Discovery News that “a lot of these animals have since been rescued out, but some remain.”
The problem demonstrates how difficult recovery has been after the 9.0 magnitude earthquake that struck off the northeast coast of Japan on March 11, 2011.
The resulting tsunami and nuclear woes devastated the area. Animal support teams from all over the world descended upon the region and are still trying to improve the situation.More images and information about the rescue efforts here
