I’m letting go

this year I finally decided to start living with the fact that it’s ok to stop mourning the events of September 11th. (for ME in MY life) 

some time has passed (obviously), aside from the fact that I was located near downtown Manhattan on that day, NOTHING makes me any more different or special than any other human being alive. So I’ve decided to not be catatonic looking at footage on MSNBC or any news outlets on the anniversary. For the longest time I equated “We will not forget..” with “I will stay glued to the tv and re-live the horror ” every year. I don’t mean this as an insult to anyone still trying to come to grips with the tragedies,
