The sun will rise again and we will try again
There is a flashback with an old memory that I felt before when I saw the headline of the news tonight.
The earthquake that hits our place 2 years ago has caused me fear and makes me feel afraid every time I enter a concrete place.
Today everything that we experienced has also been felt in Abra, the place where the epicenter of the quake has a 7.3 magnitude. Their houses are destroyed, the road is broken, huge establishments and even some historical houses were already destroyed.
There was a woman that I saw on tv, they have installed a tent in a place a few meters away from their house. They are advised not to stay in their homes at night to avoid the possible aftershocks effect.
I experienced living in a tent for two months after the earthquake hit us, in 2019. Living in a tent was hot, and it was not comfortable to live in the long run. My kids got sick and even, and I have a hard time arranging our things since I don't want to get inside the house. When I walk away from our tent I had always been in a hurry thinking that the earthquake will come back at any time.
Physical distractions, and a lot of properties, and school buildings have been destroyed. But, more than all of this, the hardest part is the emotional effect that gave us because of that devastating movement of the earth.
Truly, expect the unexpected, calamities will come just like a thief in the night, it doesn't give us warned or signs, it just comes out.
Prepare or unprepared nobody can say, "oops, can we just talk awhile", or "please come on the other day" when I will be ready. Nothing can stop when nature itself strikes us surprisingly, it was too hard. Humans are defenseless in this matter.
Have you remembered the lessons in your schools, "hold, duck, and cover", yes I have? How do you find it? Does it help you to overcome? In my experience, I didn't apply it to the actual scene, but what I did, is that I'm crying at begging the Lord for help, and please stop the quake.
Some of my neighbors are crying, and they are asking God to please rescue us. Did God hear on us, yes He did. But, it doesn't happen for a quick moment. As time goes on, everybody has forgotten the past tragedies and they are back to normal life, with how they live in usual days.
And today, when there are unexpected things that happened, I'm certain that it will soon end, and everything will become a part of our greatest memory.
We may suffer at the moment and at certain times that we are already in pain.
The sun will rise again and we will try again.
When there are days of rainfall, there's always a time for the sun to rise in the morning.
Where we can see the reflections in the water, and feel the heat on our skin.
The sun never fails to come out after the bad weather, same as a new day to start over and try again.
Try again, how privileged we are to have it in our life, chances, and new beginnings.
Have you tried to upload something but then the internet connection fails? But, thankfully, there is an option on the sidebar "try again".
There are a lot of negative things that happened to us in the past, just like tragedies and unexpected circumstances. But, it only means that we are conquerors, as we pass through all of those untoward things.
We should never lose hope that there is a day for us to stand up, and try for the better.
Don't punish yourself by holding on to the past instead, let the sun shine again and embraced the new chances that are given to us each day.
As long as there is a so-called new day", we have the option to "try again".
It's not about what people say about you, but it's about you who take a step anew, that aspires good things to happen with you.
There's always a rainbow after the rain that gives us comfort and reminds us that life has different colors. There were green, red, yellow, violet and blue.
Until here guys, you can drop your comments below.
Thank you for reading this post.
Naglindol pala sa inyo malakas sis nung 2019. Nakakaawa nga sis. Malakas yung lindol tas may casualties pa. Di ko talaga inexpect. Nagulat nalang ako kasi napuno na yung news feed ng Facebook account ko ng tungkol lahat sa lindol. 🥺
