and though I am not the same, I am normalizing.
I haven't been depressed about my sister for more than a week now, I haven't cried about her. I long for her from time to time, but i'm comforted by the fact that she is in a much better place now, away from the dangers and evils of our world.
It's weird how life takes a pause during a tragedy. For awhile, your whole world will fall apart. but then sooner or later, it'll catch on and be back to normal again. While the whole world has definitely resumed its natural course, with friends and loved ones long ok while you were still trying to pick up the pieces, I can't help but get weirded out by how I'm starting to settle down already.
My room has reduced in biblical proportions, my house as well, but it has already become my new home. I have a different phone number now (that I still don't know), and a different address to fill in application, bio-data etc etc forms. And I've come to terms with the fact that the world has moved on, and I along with it.
Some things are different, and some are inevitably the same. But even the different is fast approaching the state of being the same. And for the first time ever, I wanna be ok. Thanks for all the support guys - true friends are the ones there to support you when you need them the most. And what kept me sane from that time, to now was the fact that so many people are praying for me, and for a fact, love me. Thanks guys! I love you all so much and am very glad to have friends like you.
