You are at its mercy, but you are fighting back. I don't know how long it took to compose, but firing off all this constructive energy into journaling/writing is fighting back against the enemy.
Puerto Rico is the sort of disaster no one could see coming or even plan for (the idea that the same place would be blasted by two separate, enormous hurricanes within such a short time-span is almost ludicrous, and yet...). I sincerely hope your friends and their families emerge as unscathed as possible from the disaster, but something tells me it will be years before all the pieces are put back together.
Fight the good fight. The passion and devotion to getting your thoughts down in solid, concrete terms is a battle you won today. Celebrate that victory. It is deserved. High-five and an upvote. :)
Thanks, I really appreciate all your feedback. This and my other post (and most of them from here on out probably) are really just a stream of consciousness. But hey, small battles right? :)

Small battles are absolutely the most important. They lead to small victories, which give us the energy and strength to press forward and tackle the next one. Win enough of them and you find you've cleared the field. And that...feels pretty darn good. :)
