โDear friend, I know the ground feels like it won't stop shaking. When the typhoon came and then the earthquake, I thought we would never feel safe again. But we are still here, living with family, fixing what we can. Take it from me, you don't have to do it all at once. Accept help. Keep talking. And if you can, find one small thing that makes you smile, like a rose in a pot. You will get through this.โ
โFor anyone new to this: I was right where you are two years ago. The flood took the ground floor, and I couldn't see past it. I picked up the guitar again. xโ
โTo whoever needs this: I was whee you are in November. The flood took the ground floor. Today I cooked a proper dinner and enjoyed it. It's slow, but it does come back.โ
โHey, I know it's early and everything feels upside down. That's normal. I've been through the earthquake and the flood. The first few weeks are the hardest, but you'll find your footing. Accept help when it's offered. Take it slow, day by day. And if you need to talk, I'm here. You're not on your own.โ
