and have lived here since 2000. So I was here when 9-11 happened. I spend every year avoiding coverage of it. It was a real trauma. I saw the second tower collapse live from the roof of the building i lived in. Don't need to spend every 9-11 re-watching that shit. I'm glad we commemorate the lost victims, but for me, the best way to handle 9-11 is to live my life, do fun things with my family, read, and move forward.
