I was born on 1993-09-10 (not in the US).
Imagine enjoying your eighth birthday party, then less than 48 hours later, you saw the North Tower collapse through live TV.
Imagine visiting the Kennedy Space Center in December 2002 and you saw Columbia sitting on the launch pad.
Imagine looking forward to your 32nd birthday, then on the day itself, the internet is abuzz because Charlie Kirk was shot.
not all bad then
well at least it doesnt impact you directly, at least not physically and considering 33 years of life, thats not so bad compared to what happens to me in just this year.
That's true, I just thought I had somehow caused it and that took a long time for me to grow out of that idea.
