So I've found myself stuck in a situation no one wants to be in whatsoever. I have a heart-wrenching toe-curling crush. I unfortunately have had it for a month or so and I'm left without the confidence to tell the person, because I honestly know that I'll be massacred. Fuck it.
Last night I got mugged. I could be laying face down on a deserted sidewalk. There was a gun involved. I largely consider it a non-incident because nothing terrible happened as a result from it, but it has left me with the thought that I'm not invincible and that all those horrifying situations we see daily on television and on the news, it could happen to any of us.
I'm also left with a new appreciation, as most people do who have these type of experiences. Although incredibly cliche it sounds. I find myself needing to be around my friends. I also need to adopt a new outlook on life. I'm not completely safe or invincible and neither are my friends. So it's about time I started enjoying the time I spend with them more often and I need to be a little nicer and more understanding with my friends because who knows how long they will be around.
