9-11-2001
For some, 9-11-2001 had a bigger impact than people realize. I was not there, I did not lose anyone that day (that I know of), but when one's birthday falls on such a horrific day and will forever be marked by such events, it hurts in ways most can not understand. Not only did I watch in surrealistic horror what happened, not only did my ex heartlessly turn to me and say "By the way, Happy Birthday" in a cheerful tone like nothing happened, but I can never celebrate my own birthday because if I did I would be accused of being a heartless bitch for having a party on the anniversary of mass murder. I'm not the only one who suffers this and will for the rest of my life, there are a lot of people who's birthday is forever tainted by this.
But, I have chosen a different date to celebrate, September 17th, the day Transformers literally came into my life and changed it for the better when I was 10 years old. THAT is my birthday now, and I will celebrate it, the cartoon I loved as a child, and the characters I still cherish to this day. Til all are one.
