Where were you on September 11, 2001?

10th grade math class, before we all got sent home
Did you have an idea what was going on then? For a 10th grader, searching for answers could have made one a loner, as circles went from friends to suspects
It was a strong awakening to the fact that not everything is as it seems
for a 10th grader, that sure leaves a mark on growing-up years
Covid was probably worse for my kids
ikr, what with all the lockdowns and all
relationships stopped growing
friends got suspicious even from an innocent sneeze due to allergic rhinitis
Rich men always turn us against us
The word is out, FDA just approved a new set of vax, mandatory, I think
It doesn't look like they have any plans of slowing down
Another cross to bear
I may be more on the extreme
being #dark gets to be handy in such situations
If I go 100% dark then chances are I've completely given up
Being dark to me is not giving up, it's learning, growing, adulting, and emerge like a lotus
Lotus flowers grow in the mud
I was thinking, I might have a different definition of dark
I think, yeah, like most people do when they hear the word #dark
Lotus btw, is a venerated symbol in ancient Buddhism and Hinduism, as it grows in the mud, but emerges pure and untainted, and you'll see them in all Buddhist and Hindu art and way of life whether Japanese, Tibetan, Indian, Korean, etc. The palms of the hands joining together when someone says NAMASTE is the shape of a lotus, which roughly means, my purity to yours, but people sometimes just say namaste without any clue as to the real meaning of the lotus greeting
Also, the Buddha went to hell to help his mother attain enlightenment. Going dark to save souls is an extreme but noble path
That's my kind of darkness
I can swim in the mud but nobody knows what my true intentions are
Darkness btw, is an integral part of light. No light can exist without the the base, which is darkness
Thanks for the alternative mindset to where my mind was wondering
lol yeah I'm always MissUnderstood but I never really thought of explaining myself except when prompted, or asked, politely
hey, I know that this day holds not-so-sweet memories, but all the more that we need to count our blessings and be more and more grateful for each and every day we wake up still breathing, and for every thing we have rn, no matter how seemingly-not-enough material things we have, being grateful brings you peace, and if you get used to it, it will give you wisdom, for each and every gratefulness that comes from the heart
