\ngood morning. i thought i was prepared for anything in life. i was
\nwrong. what i seen and learned in the past day might leave me scared
\nfor life. yes, i’m strong, but not as strong as i thought. lost for
\nwords? no, just don’t know how to start. the tsunami? earthquake?
\nradiation? or government? i can go on and on about each one but
\nwon’t because i’m already emotional drained. yesterday, i was nervous
\ngoing into the so called “radiation zone.” many of people tried to
\ntalk me out of going there, but i was determined. and going there was
\nthe best choice i probably made in my whole life. why? because i
\nlearned a lot about the japanese people, and i learned about myself.
\nthey are strong, and i need to become stronger. that’s another story
\ni’ll get into later.
\nwe drove around, stopped, talked to the people, and tried to help them
\nwith any supplies they needed. i looked around, i took photos, and my
\nmind drifted into places where it’s never been before. some people
\nlost nothing, some people lost everything. some people are smiling,
\nsome people are crying.
\nsee the photo above? we pulled into a beach called “Kitaizumi” where
\ni surfed before. i remember it being such an awesome town with the
\nfriendliest people. white sand beach, clean water, and so lively.
\nnow, it’s the totally opposite. it’s completely flat with no life
\naround. the japanese military were there not looking for survivors,
\nthey were looking for bodies. there were old grandma’s looking for
\nanything to grab as a memory. then came an emergency siren ringing
\nout loud that scared the shit out of me.
\ni should have prepared myself better for this mission. i should have
\nunderstood what i would see. i should have been stronger. seeing all
\nthis in only one day ripped my heart out of my body. i feel like a
\nfool. yes, i have things i don’t need, yes, i still complain about
\nsmall things, and yes, i thought that nothing could break me. i was
\nwrong. i have a lot to learn in life. and after thinking about how,
\nthe answer came to me. i’m going to learn from the japanese. if i
\ncan become strong like them, nothing can break me. it’s just going to
\ntake some time.
\nsorry for going in circles but that’s where my mind is right now.
\ntoday, we’re going deep again and i hope i don’t lose my mind again.
\ni just want to ask the world to pray for japan….
\n**and last, sorry for not responding to emails. i appreciate your
\nkind words but i’m just too busy to be on my computer at a time like
\nthis. hope you understand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
