don’t put too much trust into anyone earthly. It is great to have friends, but time and time again, friends will show their true colours and let you down. Only God will be there to listen without restraint, only God will be there for you for the remainder of life on Earth and God-willing, for the life to come.

This 9/11 anniversary felt especially exhausting, harrowing and devastating. I think that part of it is that we are around the age(s) our parents were when it happened, but most of all, I think it’s that @25YearsAgoLive gave a very sobering account that really placed everybody in the timeline (for a day).
I learned things today I’ve never known, as many have, and I have fully came to the realization that until now, I never “understood” why it was so colossal to the previous generation.
