Just want to share a quick thought with you guys.
Today I was watching the news while I was on my lunch break and there was this specific reporting that caught my attention. A young college student lost her life in a car accident. She was a great athlete full of potential and everything was taken away in just one second. This got me thinking: I'm sure she assumed her day was going to be just like any other day. How was her last interaction with her loved ones?
I don't know about you, but every time I leave the house, I assume naturally that I'll be coming back. But the truth is; we just don't know what our day will bring and I don't want my family to have as a last memory one of me arguing and fighting about petty shit. I want them to have a memory of me hugging them and kissing them.
Moral of this: We leave our homes but it's not guaranteed that we will come back, because we just don't know what our day will bring to us. So never leave your loved ones in anger. Leave your loved ones with love and affection, because that's the last memory you want to leave for them. We shouldn't live every day like we're going to die, because who can enjoy life like that! But as a good practice, we should always leave with a hug and a kiss. We just don't know, just like the youg student in the news.
This reminds me of a day I experienced only about 3 weeks ago, and of all near death experiences I have had so far its the most life changing one so far as I was actually sober at the time Lol. Driving back home about 9pm while it was still daylight out, in a world of my own, relaxed just thinking about what I was going to have for dinner when I got back in. Saw a car pulling to a junction at the side of me but for some reason it didn't come to a full stop, I'm doing about 55mph on a 60 road but as i get nearer this car just creeps along. All of a sudden about 3 metres before I was due to pass it the woman then proceeds to pull out in front of me like I wasn't there, in an almost split second reaction that was so quick I didn't even think about my options (or maybe I did but my brain decided on the best one) I pulled hard right on the steering wheel and absolute fuck knows how I cleared the front of her bonnet jutting out into my side of the road - I was screaming/shouting as I was bracing for the side impact on my passenger door or her to at least clip my rear end and flip me over. Must of been an inch clearance and somehow I got round. She stalled out of shock in the middle of this main road behind me as all the traffic backed up for her to restart and drive off. My heart was racing all the way home after that and the worst part of all????!! I was wearing no DAMN SEATBELT like a stupid dickhead. Everything could of changed that split second, from a tranquil drive in the sun to being ejected through the windscreen and laid out dead of the road in the blink of an eye. I think about that now every time I pass that damn junction and what could of been. I had got lazy again over the years about wearing my belt as you know 'its never gonna happen to me'.
So I know exactly where you are coming from Bro, we think we all have our lives mapped out ahead of us and think it will just happen one nice night whilst laid in bed, us juiceheads will have a nice, painless heart attack hopefully in our 70's so we still have plenty of time to enjoy our lives - but in reality it never quite happens like that. Always try to live smart, always treat others the way you want to be treated yourself, and ALWAYS wear your Damn seatbelt!!! LMAO
Damn man, I'm glad you're ok. It would be sad around here without you bro! Lol.
But yea, as we get older and see things from a different perspective, we tend to appreciate things better and we become better at making good decisions because of experiences like the one you had. I bet you will not forget your seatbelt now! Lol
I also agree that the golden rule is a very important rule to live by. I'm trying to be better at it.
How you’re thinking and what you’re doing is the only way. Enjoy every day buddy
Thanks, I do enjoy my life brother and I try to keep my mind in the now, not the past or the future. Is difficult but I'm trying to discipline myself in doing so. It's very easy to get distracted with yesterday and ponder endlessly about tomorrow, but living in the now takes a lot of processing. I find myself constantly refocusing my mind and trying to ignore all the nonsense around me... which is a lot.
All of this is the least I can do after being given a second chance in life. Try to live the best life I can with the family I was blessed with.
