My first nephew was born 1 month after 9/11/01.

He is a very tall, very accomplished scholar, athlete and musician. This is was his senior year in high school.

He has a full-ride scholarship for next fall to university.


We received his graduation announcement in the mail, yesterday. It is hanging on the fridge with a magnet. HIs smiling face staring back at me every time I go to the fridge.

Being school was canceled several weeks back..and I can't help but feel sorrow for him..ending his senior year, without his peers, without a prom, without yearbook signing, without a commencement ceremony..and facing this uncertain future.

I graduated from university when he was 6 months old..and like him entered an uncertain world..rocked by 9/11 less than year passed. It hasn't been easy..but then I'm not sure it ever is.


But here we are..18 years later..and I am raging at this future he is receiving.

I don't know who or what to direct it at. No where/way to channel it..

What I do know..is the youth will write the history of what goes down over the next 2 years. This world belongs to them.

Everyone else..is on borrowed time.

He sounds really gifted and bright. No I don't think it's ever been easy for anyone not even when things seemed they were 'normal' and honestly when things were supposedly normal they were still fucked up. Nothing was ever normal after 9/11. I believe the kids are ready for it being they were born into it.

He is. He is also very gentle and kind.

Not anything like how memes try to portray the youth..

The memes have really been pissing me off lately.

They make no damn sense.
 Quoting: Ricky M


Few want to make sense anymore.

They're just looking to self-serve their beliefs, while sitting firmly in the justification that they were 'right'..even if they aren't and a long way from it.
