Today is the day ten years ago that changed the United States forever. And I remember it as best I do the things that hurt me.
I was just on my way into my Senior year of High school when the first tower fell. I had PE... I didn't even hear anything about it during that class. I had finished that class, and gone to my Current Events class. I walked into the door and saw the TV on for the first time that day.
It was chaos... it seemed like the entire room just froze. I had watched the second fall, from the television, not knowing what to think or to feel. It was devistating... to hear, to see to just feel.
A little known fact about me, I don't tell many often but I am an Empath. I will take a photo, or a person close to me, and feel the feelings that are there. I am effected by very emotional things. The tv never turned off that day... Every class that had a TV it was on, even just softly in the background. I felt that pain, I felt that horror, I could not stop being effected by it.
I watched that day for about 12-14 hours, the horror, the pain, the shock, the power that came from that moment. To see it fall over and over again.. it was not the best int he world. I only watched this for so long because I didn't have anything else to watch that day... as this had impacted the entire country.
Believe me when I say I will never forget... and Truly hope that you will not either. A lot of innocent died, but then not nearly as much as there could have been. Quite a few people called out sick that day. I just hope that something like this never happens again in my life time. Because I don't think I could handle another 12-14 hour exposure to that much pain.
Blessed be to those whom were effected.
