Rainbow
You never know when the rain pours and you never know when it will stop. You'll complain and beg that not now because of some reasons. You'll be disappointed and even get mad now when everything is dark. You even ask God above why now when there are so many things to worry about if it rains. You cry harder than the heavy rain thinking what has happened to you is so much. You forgot to smile and you are blinded from the pain it gives.
Yes, everyone was tormented because of that super typhoon. Just seeing the destruction surroundings, you wish not to be born instead. You are so desperate that even a single tear will not fall anymore. You are so tired and hopeless that not a morning or not sunshine can brighten your day. The whole area is an open area because of the devastation but yet you feel suffocated. "Why? Why?---" Unending questions because not a single answer can satisfy your dissatisfied thoughts. You can't accept, how can you after the gold turned into ashes?
Of course, it's unacceptable and unbearable. Who can when you are not blind but yet you can't see anything? I feel you if it's not my position to understand what you've been through. Just don't misunderstand, you are not just the only one who experienced it and you are not the only one who experienced downsome. All of us, maybe not the same as you are but the feeling is almost the same. Don't think that your pain is different from others' pain. Not just the way you had but it's the same way you closed your heart to the world.
I decided to smile after I cried. I decided to move forward after I failed. I decided to open my eyes after sleeping because I know there's a life to continue. I know for sure that life doesn't stop if we want to live a life in this world. I know that beauty awaits in every ugly thing that will happen. Just like smiling, nothing will be sweeter after crying. Just like how fast I can run if I'll take a rest and just like how beautiful it is waking up after having enough sleep. Sometimes we need to experience ugly things to feel satisfying happiness.
The rainbow explains to us how beautiful the world is after the rain. It shows us how colorful the world is after the rain and the sun show up. It's like telling us that no wonderful things can happen without experiencing terrible things. You must understand that when something unacceptable will happen doesn't mean it's already the end. It doesn't mean that you're unlucky or no good things will happen to you. It's like a reminder for you to understand that beautiful things are coming.
That's why that is enough already. If you can't accept it, just let it be. Let the beauty of the world beautify your life. Not letting go of an umbrella but letting go of all the pain and worries. Think that everything will be alright for sure. Just don't rush because there will be no shortcuts in achieving happiness. Also if you can achieve it easily you can never tell or feel a satisfying feeling for sure. Stand up slowly and enjoy how pretty it is to see that rainbow after the rain.

ABOUT ME
Paul is the name but prefers to be called mrnightmare that feels like living in the dream. A country boy and a dreamboy (dreamer) who likes to stay in a small village even though it means abandoning the future to become a seaman. The passion is writing but not sailing in the vast ocean. Don't wonder if the face will not be shown, this is better where the words can flow smoothly. Come, you can tell me your stories and I'll tell you mine. Together, let's explore the world by broadening our thoughts. If you need a shoulder I can lean you mine and I hope I can lean yours. The world is fun when living is not being alone but with someone.
Hi @mrnightmare89! In my country there is a saying: "The darkest hour is just before dawn", so I believe that although this typhoon has been a terrible experience, the important thing is to gradually heal the wounds and open our hearts to the good things that life brings. Existence is like the tides of the sea: sometimes high, sometimes low. I hope everything is better. Greetings.
The rainbow characterized by different bright colors signifies a new dawn . It is an illumination to the bright horizons that we aim to reach .
My thoughts are always with you. God Bless you, your family and everyone affected in the Philippines.
There is sunshine, tomorrow. 💓
