let the walls fall down
I have been feeling nostalgic for this anniversary. It's funny, I really don't know or understand much about the Berlin Wall or the circumstances around it's demise. I was 5 when it fell and remember it only vaguely. Thinking about it feels like recalling a dream and realizing that what you had believed to be a historic moment was really just a scene from Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Much like the Lower School's "Paid in Full" stamp, some things you see as a little kid stick with you. Would it be redundant to say that this event is pretty much the symbolic theme of my life?
