What happened yesterday in our little country Belgium was really terrible. We are all shocked, devastated and we feel scared. And we know that a lot of our foreign friends were very worried about us. With this, we want to tell you that we will be okay, eventually. Because despite what happened, we are still standing strong … And here are 13 reasons why:
1. No matter how f*cked up this is, we’re all in this together
2. And we feel supported by all of you
And we know that we’ll get out of this … together.All my thoughts to Belgium ? #prayforbruxelles #Bruxelles #R8G © @plantu pic.twitter.com/MHyNuvj257

4. We know that we have to stay strong to make this world a safe place to live in for our children
5. But we also know it’s okay to be angry, to cry and to scream
We can let it all out.#Bruxelles

10. There’s so much solidarity in our country right now
People are doing selfless acts, like donating blood and taking care of total strangers.

12. We find comfort, support and strength in so many songs
