9/11
Im sure by now you've been listening, watching, talking about 9/11. The boyfriend and I woke up this morning to CNN showing their entire broadcast on that day. It still gave me the goosebumps. I tried to remember what I was doing that day and it occured to me that I actually wrote on my journal that day. I almost forgot that I had this journal which I started on my freshman year of college. I posted without hesitation, with the intention that everything I say there remained secret. My 9/11 post was a mix of me discussing the event and other personal stories related to that day. Below is my posting that day but with missing parts (the one's I'd rather not disclose).
9/11/01 Tuesday
I know that its been a long time since I wrote anything here and believe me a lot of things happened…..what prompted me to write today is the fact that something tragic occurred today…. 4 planes were hijacked and used as an attacking device. One crashed on one of the World Trade Center then 15 minutes later yet a bigger plane crashes to the other one. Eventually both buildings collapsed. Then another plane was used to bombard the Pentagon and yet another plane crashed somewhere outside Pittsburgh. When I woke up this morning and I saw all of this on tv I was truly scared….theres a war looming and the sense of invincibility that I guess ive been slowly using to protect myself from the terrible things in the world had collapsed together with those remarkable buildings… its just not me that im concerned about …..everyone in the world is affected. Its like a domino effect…im glad that my family is doing fine but I feel terrible for those that has to suffer.
............(missing portion)
Back to this tragic event… im really not sure whats going to happen now. The economy is plummeting, people dying everyone is afraid of their lives….ill do what I always do…take things day by day…deal with what I have now but consider the effects of my actions in the present to that of my future. Theres this quote from a readers digest and it says ( or something like this) “ the past is history, the future a mystery and the present is a gift that we should truly appreciate” That’s probably what im using right now to deal with everything…im planning out everything as usual but im still appreciating whatever the hell happens to me no matter how tragic or great it is ( don’t think I like all these violence im just saying that everything that happens it happens for a reason like today …the whole country is lamenting and emotionally coping with what happened…theres some sort of bonding going on without us noticing about it.)
