It’s all too fresh in my mind, all these years later, to talk about at any length.
There are certain things you will never forget. 9/11 is a piece of history and having lived through it, I feel more at war with my country than I did back then, when I was at my most patriotic. Our leadership is abominable. We’ve learned nothing in twenty years, and it is evident if you scroll through a news feed on any given day. We must do better.
“Caring was a thing with claws. It sank them in, and didn’t let go. Caring hurt more than a knife to the leg, more than a few broken ribs, more than anything that bled or broke and healed again. Caring didn’t break you clean. It was a bone that didn’t set, a cut that wouldn’t close.” ―V.E. Schwab
May the New Year be sweet, healthy, happy, and prosperous!
This is true. I can be wearing socks during the colder months and when I wake up, I’ll find them (or not). I used to think I was losing my mind, until I caught my British Bombay pulling a sock off with her teeth, jumping off the bed, and running off with it. I went back to sleep and she got the other sock at some point. Now, I try to sleep so she can’t reach them, but if I walk past her, she’ll still try to get them. The rest of mine absolutely get stolen by the dryer.
