Living is easy with eyes closed

The fact that my last post was one with TOP being a whore in my gifs seems like a long time ago. I don't even know where to begin on what the past week has been like. Eda arrived, we had fun. Earth moved, and it's like all my thoughts stopped. We spent the weekend trying to keep having a decent time, but it was impossible because we were fucking

The news isn't great, but it isn't a worst-case yet. All reactors at 2 are completely halted now, the fire at reactor 4 is out, and Nikkei has reported that 9,700 missing people have been accounted for. There has been radiation leaked and reported in a very widespread area including Saitama, Ibaraki and Tokyo, however, the levels are low.

Please don't stress over it too much, hon. We all can only do what we can do, try to help others and just live our lives, right? it's a horrible tragedy and it's okay to cry about it, but it's an act of god, nothing we can do except be thankful for what we have. (and you know I'm not religious, I just mean beyond the scope of us silly little humans)

Yeah, I saw the news about the new spread of radiation, but despite it being low, it still makes me nervous for all of you. My co-workers are like "WE'RE GOING TO DIE OF RADIATION!" and I'm like "You guys, I haven't even THOUGHT about Korea yet, there are bigger problems right now."

Yeah, that's one of the few things I have to think about now. It's not like we can turn around and do blame, or anything, like if it were a war. People just need to show their true human spirit, help each other out, and get through it. But it definitely helped me to let myself cry about it. But god knows I won't watch much more NHK, I can't deal with the heart ache of the stories in the tsunami areas. Just little bits of it is enough for me.
