The question's being asked on every channel, and it's not that simple for me to answer.

First, did it change you in the short term? For quite a while afterward, I was sappy weepy huggy about my friends and family, and I had nightmares. I felt sad when I looked around at the beautiful place I live and thought how easily it can all be taken away...our lives, our freedom, our homes.

Then, are you STILL changed by 9/11? I really don't know if I'm the same person or not...ten years changes things no matter what happens. I've always been grateful for the who's and what's in my life, and still am. Security? Tuh. I haven't felt safe since I was three years old. So I guess that's the same also.
