Ramblings of an ordinary girl :)

If I could take it all back I would, but I can't. They say it's no good to live life with regret...All I wish is that everyone would forget, the mistakes I've made but of course that one in particular...You. I've learned my lessons but I'm sure to go way far ...but after all, I'd rather be me than perfect...on some days. :)

I'd rather be wrong than perfect
I'd rather be real than perfect
I'd rather just cry be sure that I'm ALIVE yea
I'd rather be me than PERFECT

James Fauntleroy Than Perfect

9/11 9 years Later

As this day winds to a close, I felt it necessary to say something in regard to one of the most painful days in U.S. history.
I am a New Yorker and I remember this day 9 years ago, being one of panic and fear and even anger. It was the first time in my life I felt TRULY unsafe... that not even parents can protect me. I remember how cloudy and dusty it looked..even in Brooklyn.

While many New Yorkers and Americans can recall what they felt and remember about the day NOTHING can compare to those families who were directly traumatized by the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. They relive the pain of losing loved ones every anniversary, whether they were on the planes, in the buildings working, or courageous rescue workers. My heart goes out to those families.
Days like this make you reevaluate yourself, life and the people that surround you. R.I.P. to all the innocent people whose lives where robbed on that day and as a result of those tragedies.
