I just came back from walking Milo, and I was in the elevator with two girls who were talking about 9/11:
Girl #1: I was born in 2006.
Girl #2: You weren’t even born yet when 9/11 happened. I was already 5-years-old. Wow, I’m fucking older than shit!
You guys, I was 19-years-old when 9/11 happened 👵🏻
Before 9/11, Gen-X would always say, ‘I remember where I was when JFK was assassinated,’ and I always thought our generation never had a life event significant enough to remember. And then 9/11 happened, and I remember exactly where I was – I was in college and driving to class, and it was all over the radio but I had no idea what they were talking about. When I got to class, our professor had the TV on and we were watching the events unfold in real time. The second plane hit the Twin Towers while we were in class. I remember going to my then-boyfriend’s house after class bc he and his family were supposed to travel internationally that day. Needless to say, all flights were grounded and he didn’t leave for another week. We spent the rest of the day watching the news and wondering what happens next…

Welp, it’s 6pm on a Saturday night, so I’m gonna wrap my knees in cabbage and call it a night 👵🏻✌🏼
