 my life after sept.11

i will never forget what happened just one years ago. i was in ny just few days before the attack, walking around the wtc and looking at the twin towers, and they were so high and strong!
back to italy, 4 days after, i was in my room, and i didn't know they would have been the last moments of my old life; suddenly i heard mum calling me, screaming "turn on the tv!", and , well, i did. i didn't understand what the hell was happened, at first i thought it was a plane crash, but then i've seen the second plane hitting the second tower and becoming a cloud of fire and death, and i thought "jesus, what's going on?!"
i can't explaing what my feelings were when the towers fell down. i cryied, asking why so much horror, why the hell my eyes must have seen all this, and thought about ny, the city i have been to just four days before, and how beautiful were the towers, and how many people were inside and now are dead. for months i was shocked, sad, cryied for everything and was afraid of the whole world. my life is changed, completely, now i am happy just because there's the sun in the sky and i'm still alive to see it. i'm happy for the rain, the sea, the mountain and all the beauty in the world; i'm happy having my family, my parents, my dog and my little rabbit, my friends and all the people that give me a smile.
11 september killed my old, stupid life and gave me another one, a better one. that's what i'd like to say to all those who are still shoked: life is beautiful, don't think too much to money, work, dress, there's so much beauty around us and we can just love beauty and love to beat anger and violence.
the sacrifice of all those poor people tells us that we should think more to our lovers, our sons, our friends. let's stay together, don't let the devil win!
peace and love, god bless all the good people in the world!
