it’s a sad sad rainy day. the winds weren’t strong or anything, but my goodness! the rains are just unending! as luck would have it, i live in a place that’s kinda high. so i didn’t even realize there was major flooding outside until people told me. of course, 4-5 hours into the day, and the rains were still pouring it on, it should’ve been obvious.
it’s been crazy. the most adversity i had to handle today was having no power for a significant chunk of the day. so yeah, call me lucky.
but there’s a looming feeling of helplessness. i can’t claim to know the feeling of those who are stuck on a roof, stuck on the second floor, etc. etc. but it’s that feeling of helplessness of wanting to help, but not knowing how or if you can. well, i’ll find a way. i know it sounds corny, but you guys should too. it’s great being safe, and we should wipe the sweat off our foreheads for being so lucky. but we can’t celebrate coz there are tons out there still struggling. (we see that all the time on the news, but it really gets to you when it hits so close to home)
so go and find a way to help someone! :) tonight, tomorrow, whatever. find a way. make a difference!
prayers and love go out to Tito Lito and family, to JBG and her family, to Ianabee and her family, and all the rest whose lives have been crazily affected by the flood.
