9/11

i have to be honest - in my selfishness of being at school, i completely forgot that tomorrow is the 11th anniversary of 9/11.

and now...

well, now i feel really strange being away from ny, my home. i'm miles and miles away from what i understand and know and it feels strange. i feel lost.

usually people talk about where they were and what they were doing when the planes hit. after 11 year, it's still too fresh for me to really do that. what i will say is that being in brooklyn when it happened changed my life. and i have never felt the type of fear that i felt that day. i hope other people, especially the young people in my family and everyone else's family, never ever experience what we experienced that day.
