'Cos life really doesn't stop?

It has been 20 days since the earthquake - Exhausted comes to mind, yet... interesting. Lol. The past few days have been very humbling and honest. Some say so sobering, that you order a vodka. Others, so deflated and fearful that only running away can help. Me? Well, I still don't know exactly how I feel about all this. I guess this has been the first time I've had to really process everything (I miss my sounding board, Keke. Lol). I do know however I don't want to trust in my feelings (they're so all over the place sometimes). I really do just wanna quietly trust in God. In fact it's all we have these days, to help keep pushing forward, especially when you have much to carry and many to be strong for. I've had some crazy days and then some halirious days. Dry days and then some very dead days. Busy days then some insane days. Lonely days and then purposeful days. And I still haven't had a cry yet hahaha... but I'm sure that's not too far away now.Time flys huh? even when you're not having fun, cos life really doesn't stop and so we have to keep going.


Facts:

The largest recorded earthquake in the world was a magnitude 9.5 (Mw) in Chile on May 22, 1960.

Alaska is the most earthquake-prone state and one of the most seismically active regions in the world. Alaska experiences a magnitude 7 earthquake almost every year, and a magnitude 8 or greater earthquake on average every 14 years.

Although both are sea waves, a tsunami and a tidal wave are two different unrelated phenomenona. A tidal wave is a shallow water wave caused by the gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth. A tsunami is a sea wave caused by an underwater earthquake or landslide (usually triggered by an earthquake) displacing the ocean water.
