January 6th was the longest day of my entire life. Many others agree, I am sure.
That being said, I realized something yesterday.
I realized that I, like so many people around the same age, don't remember exactly where we were when 9/11 happened.

But on January 6th, I can tell you exactly what I was wearing and where I was standing.

I've decided to take the next two terms as a hiatus from the @DailyEmerald.
Since last April, I have sacrificed my online store and my grades to help bring Eugene/Springfield some of the most comprehensive protest reporting to my community.

But make no mistake, I'm not going away. I won't be silent.
I'll be continuing my work and have articles planned with both @Doublesided541 and @villageportland.

Lastly, I'd like to thank each and every one of you that have followed and help support my work. Y'all are seriously the backbone keeping me up.
Peace and love.
