That's why I find it

very hard to really...

...really connect with someone.

Because what do you do

when they're gone?

And that's what I'm afraid of.

Being in this grave.

Life is so frickin' short, you know.

Dying, I guess.

Three, two, one...

Welcome to Love Parade!

Oh, come and have a look!

Many of the thousands

of revellers were unaware

of the tragedy unfolding

at the tunnel entrance.

# I wanna drink from the greatest water

# I wanna have all the things I ought to

# I'm just one, I know

# But I feel strong, you know

# I wanna reach the golden fountain

# Beat everyone without all the doubting

# I'm just one, I know

# But I feel strong, you know

# Crowds really should be right,

at least

# Oceans should be there

at the beach

# Who needs books

when we've got speech?

# Cos who knows

what's in store? Roar!

# Love life a penny at a time,

boy

# Love life a penny at a time, girl

# Love life a penny at a time... #

Who do you love?

My silly boys.

The Bobby-ells.

OK, what do you fear?

Well, I guess...

I'm fearless now.

I guess my fear was that

you'd get cancer and you did.

That you'd get it again, I mean,

and you did.

But it's over with.

So I'm fearless.

July 24th, 2010.

It's nearly midnight now and

I'm running out of time to make this.

I worked all day long.

On a Saturday! Yeah, I know.

The sad part is,

I spent all day long hoping

for something amazing to happen,

something great,

something to appreciate this day,

and to be a part of it,

and to...

...show the world that

there's something great

that can happen every day

of your life, in everyone's life.

But the truth is,

it doesn't always happen.

And for me, today...

...all day long,

nothing really happened.

I want people to know that I'm here.

I don't wanna cease to exist.

I'm not gonna sit here and tell you

that I'm this great person because...

...I don't think I am, at all.

I think I'm a normal girl.

Normal life.

Not interesting enough...

...to know anything about.

But I want to be.

And today...

...even though...

...even though nothing great

really happened,

tonight I feel as if something

great happened.

# I wanna drink from the clearest water

# I wanna eat the things I know to

# I'm just one, I know

# But I feel strong, you know

# I wanna reach the greatest mountain

# Climb if I want,

without all the shouting

# I'm just one, I know
