地震があるので、自分の自信がなくなった。
Earthquakes are beastly things. Sailors are probably used to the support beneath them rocking to and fro with the balance of the waves going crazy, but I myself am not used to the ground beneath me shaking beyond belief.
Note: It probably doesn't help that all of the places I frequent (Home, School, Work) are a few stories above ground, and it probably doesn't help more so that my apartment is above a subway station...
People 'round Japan and the rest of the world keep giving me a hard time about these earthquakes. People abroad think I'm in the heart of Fukushima, waiting for Godzilla to spawn, rape, and pillage Japan... People here think I'm a woman for quivering at each quake, no matter how small they might be... Why must everyone judge or jump to conclusions?
What I continue to feel everyday and the subsequent adrenaline rushes are things that I'm unable to help... but is it hard to at least get facts straight? Or is it hard to be compassionate toward someone who comes from an area with but one earthquake strike per century in it's history?
I wish there was a pause button. A pause button and a teleportation device similar to that in the movie Jumper. Sometimes don't want to worry about time constraints and other times just don't want to be here...
And the worst part is, I shouldn't be complaining. I shouldn't be making cracks about Godzilla. People are still dying and suffering from power outages, food shortages, radiation exposure, etc. I'm just a dumbass working in Tokyo... right?
