September 11th

September 11th really changed me. I remember hearing about the events and feeling utter fear. I remember not being able to listen to music or even have sex for a while. It was almost like I had to deprive myself of joy and become numb in order to cope with the sheer horror of it all.

The initial shock is gone but I am still deeply saddened by the events. I think of all of the lost potential...I think of all of the children that will grow up in a less trusting world. But...even through the pain, I think of all of the selfless persons that helped out because it was the right thing to do.
