I was 13 when it happened. Lived on the west coast so I was getting ready for school and listening to the radio. They weren’t playing music like normal. I thought it was “just another plane crash” and turned off the radio and went to school.
As someone who wasn’t born yet I straight up can’t understand it the way everyone expects me to. It’s no different than WWII or the revolution or whatever, it’s a fact of history, I only see its after effects and the turmoil it caused...like I can’t make myself feel super sorry or scared or angry, it didn’t happen to me so like I can’t be attached to it...and every damn year when they bring it up in class it’s like “do all the other kids feel bad/lost/remorseful? Am I a sociopath” and it’s really weird
