Hurricane Update
8 years ago
It gets harder every day, and yet so much easier as well. I'm at a loss.
To anyone that might actually give half a damn, I'm alive.
We evacuated before the hurricane flooded our apartment. We lost quite a few keepsakes, my carpet is ruined and my closets need to be assessed and the walls fixed, and almost all of the clothes I own are now wet and on their way to being mildewed. I am running short on my extra money, have no bed, and am staying with my girlfriend, brother and sister-in-law and their 16 month old child, and my parents.... I want to cry. Every time I think I'm okay and I start to try to clean everything up, something else happens. I just want to curl up and go to sleep and never wake up. It's too much and I feel like I'm breaking apart.
I'm mostly writing this just so I can get some of it off of my chest... I know there are people who have it worse than me... I just feel so broken and I can't stop crying.
If you read this, thank you. And please, don't feed me platitudes... I know eventually this will all be a bad nightmare... but right now, trying to tell me it's going to be okay is just making me want to cry harder.

I'm glad to hear you are safe. I'm really sorry about your home... I can't imagine what that might be like.

It's really hard. Thank you for caring, and sorry for me ranting in the first place. The apartment leasing agents moved me into the only other ground floor apartment, and it is really nice... Smaller, but nice. It's hard having to move everything by myself and trying to get it clean, but once I'm done, I think I'll be okay. Again, thank you for caring. And not feeding me platitudes.

It's okay to rant, it's good to be able to let out your emotions sometimes. I wish I could help you move in to your new place, but I'm glad it's really nice, even if a tad smaller. I hope things start to look up for you <3
