10 months ago today, a faulty power line destroyed our home. We are homeless and live every day without any of the every day things (clothes, shoes, pictures, dishes, towels, pictures, etc.) that make up all of our lives, our daily routines and rituals and help enable us to be who we are in this world every day. I wake up most every night reliving the panicked running from the house as the walls lit up and exploded around us, but I know we are lucky - because we are alive. That's therapy. I have to write that out and say it out loud every day so I don't lose sight of the very real fact that similar events have no shit, for real killed people. Some days it's really fucking hard to keep that in mind and be grateful. Today is one of those days. But we are fortunate. Emotionally, I'm not always firm on the point, but intellectually I know it's true. We have a place to stay. We have food to eat. We are alive. . . . #iwishicouldsleep #fpl #floridapower #nextera #heritage #insurance #homeownership #home #homeless #anniversary #survivor #whatdoesntkillyoumakesyoustronger #alive #electricity #energy #powerlines #danger (at Palm Beach Gardens, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz1FgbPAlXg/?igshid=1ijkfh9uruhex

I'm just sick of it! 😱😢🤦🏾‍♀️Build more freaking infrastructure before clearing all of this farmland and slapping new construction on every corner. We have no power! It only rained. No Hurricane- just rain...🤷🏾‍♀️ -M.M. #FloridaPower&Light #FPL #LightsOut #ConstantBrownouts #ConstantFlickers #ThisisnotBeirut https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-mLqChHQR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5tkvw8qh40xo

I'll bet the @DukeEnergy power outage reporting mechanism is a #RussianBot. Well played @DukeEnergy with the #FakeNews about restoration of power. 😉 #DukeEnergy We miss #FloridaPower. #sarcasticduetoNOPOWER (at Saint Petersburg, Florida)

Apparently, @DukeEnergy is now going to PHONE us to check if we have power or not. I have no words. #disappointment Midnight TOMORROW is the "revised deadline." #DukeEnergy We miss #FloridaPower (at Saint Petersburg, Florida)

Current est. time of power restoration, by @DukeEnergy has Pinellas County on the unrealistic expectations of MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. We have seen ZERO linemen and trucks in my area today. It's 2000 on Friday night. They will not make it. We miss #FloridaPower so much, y'all. At least they were based IN Florida. SMH (at Saint Petersburg, Florida)
