So, on Friday I went out to get some sparkling water at my favourite grocery store. On the way there while turning left on to the side street. As I turned left after checking a had plenty of room to make it through. Right before making it clear I saw that a car coming at me like a bullet. I tried to get out of the way, I did not succeed.I was T-boned in the back passenger side, I knew I got hit at the time. But, what really surprised me is when vehicle started to tip. To land on its side, my first thought where am I hurt and holy shit. I had pictures of movie crashes going through my head. And, for me it was nothing like that. I unbuckled my seatbelt, I proceed to get up. I just stood there with my head out the passenger side window in shock. A lot of people rushed over to ask if I was ok. After relizing I was ok, I hoped out. To notice I made it out alive with only one scratch. I went to the hospital anyway to make sure, and I'm all good. No one else was hurt either.
After this experience though, I feel like a different person because the whole time ems, fire, pretty much everyone was saying I could have died and how lucky I was. So, for me that was the day my bad habits died. I'm 6 days sober not a single drop, 6 days no PMO, 6 days of exercise. And, school I picked up an extra course. I told myself I don't want to die without acomplishing my goals. Now it's going to cost me money to fix the damage from that day, but worth it for the end result. "Live everyday as if it's your last", really resonates with me now.
