It’s been more than a month but we’re still having minimum of 4 aftershocks a day. Everything has changed, as in our lives are different from how it was before one month. I still wish I could wake up and say “that was a long and horrible dream” and move back to normal life. I know even a magician cannot fulfill this wish.
The important thing that I learned from this earthquake is that we cannot control the fury but have to calm ourselves and be prepared to face it. So I’m pushing myself to be strong and move on. As we’re kind of used to the aftershocks, I am not as scared as I was before one month ago. Even though sometimes I’m afraid of dark weather and rain, I can feel the difference in me. Being involved in relief activities has boosted my confident. I’m so grateful for Bec and Mitrataa for this.
It makes me happy to see people getting back to their lives and starting to do their normal jobs. I’m enjoying going to college. We all know what we’re all facing after one month; still we’re acting so normal. I love this life and am trying to continue forgetting the past one month.
