Time Passes Fast for Those Who Live Quietly

Have you ever felt like your day goes by so quickly?

Last week, I told you about an incident near my house that also left me feeling very gloomy. Now the black debris is gone, cleared away by the cleaning crews, leaving only dark spots here and there.

For me, who nearly became a victim, time flies, even though my sore legs from running to the evacuation center haven't even healed yet. There are still bruises on my calves. But for those who have lost everything, time must move very slowly.

Time Passes Fast for Those Who Live Quietly...

Now, everything that was lost is ready to be rebuilt. I feel like thanking God, not just for being okay, but for the victims who have survived the hardships of the past week.

You know, yesterday I watched a podcast featuring actor Reza Rahadian. There was a sentence or statement in the podcast that made me reflect again. In the podcast, he said, Being able to choose the life you want to live is a privilege, because there are people who just live their lives as they are. He then continued, To be grateful, we don't need big things; just being able to survive is something we can be grateful for and appreciate.

Still related to Reza's word, I understand that we should always be grateful; we don't need to compare ourselves to others to feel grateful. This really hit me hard because sometimes, to feel grateful, I have to look at other people's trials. Like last week, but now I appreciate those who have survived trials I might not have been able to endure.

Hasta La vista…
