A video first before anything else. I wanted to upload in 3speak but too sad the internet connection is unstable. 😭😭
Wake up! Don't keep on sleeping just because of what has happened. Yes, it's unacceptable, at first, who will anyway when everything is unbelievable. Imagine you don't know where to find your home. Where to eat now? Where to share laughter with family? Where to sleep? Where to shelter when the world is too hot or too cold? Where to hide when heavy rainfalls?
I know it's not easy. I know the tears of you now are unstoppable. I know smiling will be nowhere to be found. When you looked around, everything had changed. No one will blame you if you're struggling to move on. No one can understand you and no one can feel what you're feeling. Even so, please open your eyes. It's a brand new day and it means new opportunities to come. Though it's difficult, in life, one thing is certain, we can't change reality.
All I can say, as what I've been doing now, is to appreciate being alive. Our house was destroyed, no matter how much I wept nothing would change. Of course, I shed those tears after seeing what happened but it should now be done always. Started moving, started planning what to do next, and started to rebuild not just the house that was taken away but the memories I had with it.
It's painful, yes, but the more you fight for it and do not accept it. The criticality will hit you hard because it's the truth and it will not change for sure. However, you can't change or rewind what has happened but you can do something for a new one. Slowly, little by little, don't rush and the feelings we lost will be reclaimed. Help will come but you should help yourself first so people will never think you're losing hope to live. People will love to help those who crawl their lives to be back to normal.
How many days do rainfalls never stop after the typhoon. It's nice to recover the plants that almost died and today, a new beautiful day has come. The sky was so clear and I could see how white the clouds were and how colorful the sky was with sky blue. It was a beautiful day even though everything around me was destroyed. I know it's alright now, it's time to move on and start building not just the emotions but also the house. It will not happen soon but I already appreciated a new day so it means I have the will to keep on fighting. I have the will to keep on living and to do that is to accept that this is our life now.
Start from the beginning but it's not the end. There are still things I can do. Unlike before that, I was doubtful where to start. For now, I know what I should do and do next until everything will be alright and everything will be back to normal.

Paul is the name but prefers to be called mrnightmare that feels like living in the dream. A country boy and a dreamboy (dreamer) who likes to stay in a small village even though it means abandoning the future to become a seaman. The passion is writing but not sailing in the vast ocean. Don't wonder if the face will not be shown, this is better where the words can flow smoothly. Come, you can tell me your stories and I'll tell you mine. Together, let's explore the world by broadening our thoughts. If you need a shoulder I can lean you mine and I hope I can lean yours. The world is fun when living is not being alone but with someone.
