9/11

9/11 affected me greatly. i cried and had nightmares for two weeks. i was in the city two weeks before the attacks took place; we flew out of la guardia at the exact hour that the planes struck the buildings, exactly two tuesdays before. i had friends living there at the time. i still have friends living there. my next time visiting new york was four months later.

i was lucky enough not to lose anyone. if you did, i am so sorry. i can't believe it was six years ago. think about it, because it's important. look around at the world right now. six years ago on this day, we were all united. that lasted longer than a day, but not forgetting isn't the same thing as holding onto the feeling. maybe not all the time, because life must go on. but just for today, close your eyes and feel it again.


new post soon.
