It's here, and gone, in the blink of an eye

The storm has hit land, like I knew it would. The truth is, while it was pretty destructive it wasn' t total and complete. It was calm, eerily calm, and while it changed everything, it didn't destroy as much as I had feared. I had been bracing for it, preparing for it, convincing myself it was a reality before it actually was. It wasn't as destructive as I had feared. Although the aftermath could be harder to contend with than the reality of the storm.

It's nothing I can't survive. I'm strong, and I've survived worse.
