Social media was talking about something
but nobody could source it
so I didn’t accept the news.
I don’t need to follow the source through,
I just need to know that it’s there.

So many of my friends were just accepting the news as fact
and I was saying, “Fools!
“Wait until you get verification
or at least an origin point for this information
that seems to come from a reliable place.”

And guess what happened?
My roommate came to me
with a reliable source of information
which probably everyone else had seen
before me so I was behind the times
in not believing the news
that everyone else just easily accepted.

So anyway,
I’m sorry for your loss.
