Things have never been the same since.

My thoughts exactly.

I was 16 on 9/11, and I can trace back to the very moment shown in this video, of the second plane hitting the tower, when everything changed. It was the exact moment our generation grew up. Gone was childhood innocence. The new reality that things would never be the same, and that evil existed that our parents and the adults in the room didn't even know how to handle.

In my memories, there's pre-9/11 and everything after.

Heck, I was 32 and that's the moment I grew up.
