Perhaps, it is so insensitive of me to say time goes on. I have tasks, college, and work. Perhaps, you could say I should not be worried, because I am far away from home. But it remains the same. I worry. I need to pull back and focus on my energy on somewhere before this grief just swallows me whole. I have trouble concentrating on my life. I try to re-center myself, tell myself that my small, little, tiny town is still fine. My family in the Philippines are still fine. My friends, there, too. Physically fine, at least. I know we share the same grief. I know my friends are devastated. Perhaps, you may think these words I have been using to describe our dismay at the recent Philippine election are so dramatic and heavy. But if you think about it, isn't this our future? Yes, of course, government is not the only one that improves lives, but it is a huge part of it. Don't you want a government you can be proud of or at least, tolerate? A government that tries to actually serve its' citizens? It's quite disappointing. Everything that is happening, not just in the Philippines. I have to do tasks. I want to feel okay again. But I am so worried.
