I saw multiple posts of photos and videos of Brent’s body on Twitter after he was killed and it was right before I was gonna go to sleep. I did not sleep anytime soon after that. Part of me wishes I didn’t have those images in my memory bank. I had always seen him in the context of an event or party but his mission and life’s work was to show the ugliness of war and the innocent people caught in it. War is very ugly.
i’m really fortunate to have such a non-existent memory with situations like that, especially visual memory..
i’m so sorry you had to see any of that 🫂
I have images of news stories of war seared in my brain from so early in my life. I remember waking up in the middle of the night sneaking to watch news of Desert Storm. I think it was really one of the first wars with a 24 hour broadcast. I would sit so close to the tv and play it so quietly, to not wake up my mom or sister. I was barely 5. My Dad was there.
i dont even want to post in text what ive seen.
