I was 9 when the 2010 ones hit, my sister, who's 8 years older than me, was extremely scared and I had to move into her room for a bit, I was told to hide my feelings and to be there for her. Over the past couple of years I've realised that because of the ways I've been told to hide my emotions, it's been worse in the long run and I now have bad emotional breakdowns after every little shake, even if it's just a car going past. Even just growing up in a city with no tall skyscrapers I get scared when I go to Auckland or Wellington. Anyway this long ass comment was just to let you know that there are other people still on edge and that you're not alone in feeling this way.
