username is

house of leaves reference?

just started it

a few days ago

excited to see where it goes

same here

16 when it happened

surreal would be the word

there was before 9/11

and there was after

definitely a change in

consciousness

and the way the world felt

fear was the overarching theme

and it's only progressively

grown since then

it really tells you something

when conspiracy theories

used to be the sole territory

of paranoiacs and

the mentally unstable

now it's just a part

of the mainstream

Haven’t logged in for awhile, so apologies on the delayed reply. And yes, my username is a House of Leaves reference :)

We’re definitely facing a crisis of authority. Some of this is well-earned, as even a cursory reading of history shows how often power is abused (even by those trying to do good). The more I think about it and the more I remember, the less unprecedented it all feels, then and now.
