Shared Grief in Atlanta

ATL represent. Thank goodness I've found others who share my emotion...

"Yet most people around me here in Atlanta seem unaffected, unmoved. Friends, of course, are sympathetic, but too many people are just going about life as normal.

I can't stomach hearing the guy at the desk behind me talking today about how the guy who won Survivor lives next door to his brother. I hate seeing a group of people laughing and chatting about the ridiculous things people involve themselves with.

In the wake of September 11, everybody took pause and put aside their stupid little concerns. I feel today like I did then, but apparently I'm in the minority."

Thank you Cap'n. It may not mean much, but at least I know I'm not alone in feeling completely heart- and gut-wrenched over this. Yes I could go on as normal... but do I want to?

The simple answer is... I won't.
