"I&amp;#039;ve been procrastinating all week about writing this blog. I know it&amp;#039;s important for us to talk about the anniversary of September 11th, but at the same time I didn&amp;#039;t want to go back to all the fear and anxiety and tragedy of that day. I still remember every detail and every feeling of that day and the weeks that followed. I can still smell the bitter air we had in NYC. And it&amp;#039;s not a happy place to back to. But that&amp;#039;s what you and I do\u2014we talk about the stuff that&amp;#039;s hard and that no one else says out loud. So I&amp;#039;ve been reading about what other girls are saying about this anniversary. I&amp;#039;ve been skimming Tumblr posts tagged September 11, because they feel like pages of open diaries. Occasionally, I catch a post from a girl who looks like she might be a Seventeen reader. You remind me of how while so much of the world looks back, you are looking ahead to the future. And you want that future to be awesome. That&amp;#039;s what I want too. I want you to be able to achieve every single one of your dreams without worrying that you&amp;#039;re going to be attacked by someone who wants to take them away. Not too much to ask, right? So lets take this opportunity to focus on the future. Tell me about your biggest dreams and what you&amp;#039;re going to do to make them happen\u2014STARTING TODAY! Please feel free to comment below or tweet me at @annshoket. If you want to talk about your fears and anxieties about this day, I&amp;#039;m here for that too. We&amp;#039;ll figure out how to get around them so that that big bright future is closer than ever. XOXO -A. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
