I wasn't sure where else to say this so I figured I'd write this here.. a few days ago I was in a pretty bad car accident. I was with my bf and his friend who was driving a little too fast on a dirt road. He lost control of the car and we flipped three times and landed in a swamp, in the middle of nowhere. We all survived with some deep cuts and lots of bruises (I also got hypothermia). I thought I had the least of the injuries until I found out that an artery had been cut in my arm. The only reason Im alive right now is because the dead leaves that got stuck in my cut covered wound and held back the bleeding.
It's kind of a hard thing to wrap my mind around. There are so many what if's. The doctors said they had never seen three kids survive a crash like that, especially because my boyfriend and I didn't have our seatbelts on. I don't know how or why I survived but the accident has given me a totally fresh outlook on my life. And I feel like I should start by thanking some people I almost didn't get the chance to thank.
A couple of years ago, I had not a single friend. My life revolved around online classes, work, and.. the lovely World Crew. During that time you guys were the only people I had to talk to, you helped me feel so much less alone. I lived through the forum and from Sick Puppies concert to concert. There was nothing like hanging out with other world crew members after a show, and of course, getting a chance to talk to the band. With out you all, I don't know how I would have survived after being rejected by everyone else. So I just wanted to thank you all for giving me a reason to smile even during my worst of days. I love you all
Just wanted to thank you all..
