Closure
With the one-year anniversary of 9/11 coming up next week I having been thinking about how I have been dealing with it. Over at Morgan's we were discussing our plans for the anniversary date. I am not really sure what I am going to do. I was considering going to the WTC site in the morning. Still, I really don’t know what good that’s going to do me. Sounds like such a poseur thing to do (that was humor).
I feel I took 9/11 pretty hard for whatever reason. I don't know anyone who died at the WTC. I was in the city that day, while it was scary, I really don’t feel that’s the part that got to me.
I do miss the towers though. I looked at them everyday from my old apartment in Jersey City. I don't know if it's from living in NYC, or the US, or the civilized world in general, but I just have this feeling of being violated.
It makes me really angry when I think about. Especially when I watch rebroadcasts of the towers burning and collapsing. A lot of my friends seemed to have moved on, which is the healthy thing to do I suppose. Move on, but never forget. I just can't seem to do it.
I just wish there was some sort of closure to it all. Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion there will be none, ever. 7:29:43 PM |
