I was hit by a big earthquake

　That's enough.

・Rely on people. Volunteers are also available. There are also Self-Defense Forces, police officers, and firefighters. Please be supported by people and people.
It's painful for me not to be able to do anything. Moreover, there is also a sense of fear that one day an earthquake might come to my area as well. I'm no match for you. I can't say more than this right now. I'm sorry.

　He's a Zen boy, so it would be cool if he could say even one word of “drink,” but I really can't say that.

Five years ago, I was in an area affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake. The main hall was unusable for 7 months until repairs were completed. However, if you think about the people whose homes, families, and workplaces were all swept away by the tsunami, it may still have been relatively light. It took over a month to restore city gas, so not being able to take a bath was a problem. The water was cut off for a day. The power outage lasted 2 days. Even in the same city, there are people who have had to wait 1 month for the water supply to be restored. I think he was still a blessed person.

But I felt depressed and had no energy. There are a lot of things I need to do, and even though I was doing the bare minimum, I felt like my body was getting heavy. I'm that kind of person, so I can't blackmail him.
It was my life after the earthquake that inevitably became dark, but I really felt the gratitude of my family. I'm really sorry for those who have passed away, but I felt happy that my family was safe. I think it was precisely at this time that we were able to share our desire to take care of our family. Help and support each other with a little tidy up and a little housework. Watching TV only amplifies anxiety and sadness, but while eating with the family, “It's delicious.” I think my smile came back little by little by exchanging these casual words.

I think the hard days will continue, but the families support each other and care for each other. Let's restore our smiles through such activities. If it's hard to get it back, it's fine to laugh at first, so smile more times. The same “good morning.” Even if you say, do your best and say “good morning” with a smile and a bright voice. Let's say that.
Little by little, I think the food situation will improve. Compared to before the earthquake, the difficult situation will not improve dramatically. But if we're going to live the same day, “the lights went through.” “Water comes out” and “tea can be drunk.” Let's be grateful that what has been taken for granted until now was wonderful and thankful, and let's smile and rejoice at each improvement.

　That was tough. I would like to express my deepest sympathy.

I send these words to those of you.
“We don't live our lives staring at statements of income and expenditure”
These are words from Haruki Murakami's novel.

Right now, you're doing your best, aren't you?
The situation where you can't rest your mind or body continues, but now please try not to overdo it as much as possible and rest your mind and body. Rely on what you can rely on.

Please take good care of yourself.

Were there any injuries?
You can work even in these circumstances and live your life to the fullest

I would like to once again express my sympathy to everyone affected by the disaster, including you and your family, and sincerely pray for the souls of everyone who passed away.

I can't find any words to say to you... if I dare to speak up,

I'm sending you the words “let go (hogejaku).”

Your “strong sense of responsibility” and “pride” are useless now.

Please throw it away. Please “leave it alone.”

And please indulge!

Support is currently being provided by many people, starting with members of the Self-Defense Forces.
Volunteers are also joining the site starting today.

The body is capital.

If you overdo it and you fall down, you won't have any roots or children; now is the time to be spoiled!

Please indulge in anyway!

This is an unscrupulous exclamation from me

The time I'm writing about now from Kumamoto was exactly a week ago when there was an earthquake on top of the mountain! Tsunami warning! I'm spending my time remembering that I was desperately running away. And every day I spend sleepless nights waiting for the morning to come.

I don't know when it will end! Be prepared to run away every time there is an aftershock! I can't sleep! I can't calm down! sense of anxiety! Not free! privacy! eat! Hard mornings come every day! You can't run away even if you want to! family! Exhausted! Future anxiety! And so on, until now, everyone had never experienced suffering, worrying, and getting lost all at once until an earthquake hit. However, those who have passed away have lost all the pain and joy of living!
However, Kumamoto cannot return to Kumamoto without overcoming everything, and first of all, starting with me, I am living a life where each and every one of me lives, even if it's hard, this is the beginning of Kumamoto's reconstruction!

Right now, the fact that you are working hard every day is that there are still many people like you in Kumamoto prefecture who have various thoughts and are in various situations.
No one knows what is yet to come; what we know is to always look ahead and survive strongly. I'm sure someone is always there when it's hard.

Simple words though. Let's do our best! Good luck Kumamoto! Your hard day is the first step towards recovery! Hang in there, Kotori-chan! Never lose, if you have a life, you can walk!
