October 7th was the start of something that changed the trajectory of an entire generation, and I watched it unfold as just a senior in high school.
This is what it means to come of age while a genocide was livestreamed and normalized while world leaders sent weapons instead of aid. I was radicalized by watching children in Gaza get bombed while American politicians clapped for it. The silence was complicity. And we’ll never unsee what they tried to keep buried.
This time we weren’t too young to understand what was happening in front of our faces…understood enough to never be able to forgive them for it.
