Environment and people around me, feared me about the flood that haven't occur around the area I'm living because the word 'flood' had been stated possibly everywhere from my friends to the social network. Sometimes, one of my friend would be talking about how her family prepared for the upcoming flood. So, I questioned myself, am I ready to handle the condition? The answered that popped up inside my head was a big no because my parents don't believe that our area would be flooded. Which, in my opinion, seems not to be true at all. The news said that my house would be flooded soon, so houses in my village put stacks of sand bags and evacuated from the area. Because my parents didn't believe that our house would be flooding, they didn't really prepare or make a big deal out of it.
Even though, it's good that my parents didn't stress out in this serious condition, I'm scared that if their believes turn out to be untrue. What will happen? How can I get through this? At last, I told my parents and expressed out how I really feel about the flood and how terrified I am. I told them my feelings about it that a tear dropped down my cheek because I was so afraid and nervous, I never face this much pressure before. So, my parents and I agree that they will watch out about the flood very carefully and buy daily expenses to get ready for it; which we don't know that it will occur or not. After that, it was a relief that at least I'm ready and that the tears are worth it. The flood condition taught me to trust my instincts and feelings because our self knows what's best for us. So, be yourself and stick to what you believe in. I also wish and hope that everyone stay safe and I believe that we can pass through this condition together no matter what.
