I remember when...

...Brandy was "just sittin' on top of the world"
...SNL was funny
...everyone had a Livestrong band (sometimes) unconscious of its meaning
...I felt I could do anything
...the Twin Towers could be seen from my 7th grade classroom in Long Island
...boys didn't affect me
...a song couldn't make me cry
...I wore a uniform five days a week (for 13 years)
...books used to be fun (college made them tedious)
...Britney was wholesome
...the guys I know were only boys
...teenage love was a possibility
...my virginity wasn't something I needed to be cured of
...AOL chatrooms were cool
...I got my first cell phone
...I cried in my mother's arms about the broken relationship between me and my father
...it stung to be called an Oreo
...my oldest brother called me a dumb broad and meant it
...New York City was a far away place

I could barely remember those days but I do remember how good it was though. xoxo
