Tomorrow is a big day, but today I've been reflecting on how big of a day today is. Ten years ago today was the last day we took our safety for granted, it was the day before the word "terrorism" entered our lives, it was a day when we believed we were invincible.
Ultimately, it is a symbol of how quickly life changes.
Ten years ago today, Osama Bin Laden was only a person who sent us video messages and terrorism was something that happened in other countries. We walked freely through airports and didn't worry about the person next to us.
It was a Monday, a normal Monday ... I went off to high school and had band practice afterward. Seven classes and homework. We went to bed that night in a world that seemed safe, because we were Americans.
On September 10th, 2001 we had a sense of security ... we were living a fake life, naive of the things of the world. Tomorrow is the day the innocence of a generation was taken, lives were taken, and the world changed.
