holy shit these are the same thousands of complete nothing stories every single time, posted as if they were some profound insights.

"I was in first period. Then, the teacher said our nation was under attack. Then I learned that planes hit the World Trade Center. Then I went home."

Or, the West Coast version:

"I woke up and turned on the TV. The second plane had already hit. I watched the events unfold on the TV."

My teacher locked the door, had a breakdown, and told us we were all gonna get blown up by incoming missiles. Told us to get under the desks and not trust any other adults.

Eventually some school admin came by and calmed her down. She went on leave for about six months and when she came back she had gained a bunch of weight and had to always hold a crucifix or else she got anxious.

I grew up in the south, thousands of miles away from NYC
