"Everyone to the bar."

Lots of French people took to social media this evening and proudly announced that, fuck you, ISIS, we are still going to go to the bar. And they went, and they enjoyed each other in the spirit of liberté, égalité, e fraternité. Some of my friends were there. I was supposed to be there last weekend, but I couldn't afford to go. That's the first time I've ever been thankful I was temporarily broke.

I'm so glad that the people who live there are taking heart in each other and sharing their fears while still fighting to carry on with their daily lives. Well...most, anyway. I guess I should say that I'm glad that the people that I know are able to carry on normally. I am so sad for the families who can't. My emotions are pretty confusing right now. :/

Cheers to everyone who is fortunate enough to be able to do so tonight.
