Mansha Pasha pointed out how the year has been filled with tragedy yet with every new tragedy it becomes harder to find words to come to terms with them.
Honestly its hard to find the right words now for the pain you feel when u witness tragedy. With Covid-19, tragedy seems to always be lurking around the corner.
For me, It came full force with the plane crash & never left. Its now become hard for me to find the words for it.— Mansha Pasha (@manshapasha) August 5, 2020
