Today while I reflect on the terror that occurred, I feel how lucky I am to not have endured such terror. I feel how lucky I am to know that my loved ones are safe and I will wake up tomorrow morning to live another day. I feel how lucky I am to be sitting in the safety of my room while writing this piece. In the wake of such terror, I feel the outpouring of love and support and strength from across the globe. Everywhere on social media, I see messages of hope and prayer for the people of Paris. One of the instances in which social media is used for good. Across social media I see images of Paris people have taken, but I see one image that seems to be the universal symbol for the support of Paris. It is an image designed by Jean Jullien. He captioned the image on instagram "Peace for Paris". I have seem numerous variations of this image over the past 22 hours and all are beautiful and so incredibly meaningful.

As with any tragedy I have seen people posting about how Parisians are not the only people in the world going through tragedy. And yes, that is true. However, I have one thing to say: Just because people are so shaken by the occurrences in Paris and are using #PrayforParis and #PeaceforParis across social media, does not mean they do not care about the rest of the world. You can #prayforparis and still be concerned about the rest of the world. One does not diminish the other.
