Its been a sad time.
-
Recently in my country, something very bad happened. A terrorist attack. A lot of people were hurt, a lot of people died. Its been hard for me to get my head around. Someone hurting and hating other people so much.
On that day I wrote this and many of you may have seen it.
Today is a very sad day in this country. I am sad. We have to come out of this stronger and braver. More loving and more kind. We need to make sure people know fear is not the way we should live. And to those who have gone through this, I’m sorry. You deserved better here.
I just wanted to make sure I shared that again. Its something I truly believe. That Fear is not the way we should live. That we despite sadness and terror become stronger, braver. That we keep the love and kindness we have shown in the past and even show it more.
This world is not all bad, dark and scary. Just sometimes it appears this way. But we always can make it better.
I love you all, friends, fans, readers, family. Thank you all for being in my life.

Thank you for writing and sharing this Matty. What happened there has affected so many people all around the world, even in Australia. Although this hatred attack happened to one group of people it has made us all closer as a race and more protective of people from any walk of life. Thank you Matty x
I feel sorry for your Country!!! 😟😟 I recently heard on the news that your Prime Minister has banned assault weapons of the kind that was used!!!!
I want to say on behalf of the USA we mourn with your country for that horrible terrorist attack that occurred!!!

Love you Matty what you said is so true if we live in fear the people doing these evil things win . My heart goes out to all who have suffered this senseless violence.
I’m sorry that this happened and I’m sorry that it was right there, Matty. Your country seems to be taking a moral and courageous stand against this. Don’t let the bad people divide you.
