I almost got in a bad wreck today. A guy pulled out at a red light to make a right in front of me and I had to slam on my breaks and swerve into the lane next to me and I came an inch from hitting him. Close calls have happened to me before and i was a little shaken up so I pulled over to calm down. After i thought i was better I started driving again and I called my mom because I felt like talking to someone. She was glad I was ok. I called my sister after that and when she asked if I was ok i just lost it. I said I wasn't and i was bawling, she started crying and told me to pull over. I sat on the side of the road calling everyone I could so I wouldn't have to be alone. Eventually I let William drive me to work because I just couldn't drive anymore.
I was never really shaken up by my wreck in August because I don't remember anything about it because I was knocked unconscious. I think it just finally hit me how terrible that wreck was and how close I was to dying and loosing my sister and a best friend and a girl whom I've known since i was a little kid. I'm scared now. It's terrifying and I'm not ok with it. That wreck wasn't ok. I think it's important for me to realize that.
Elliot picked me up from work and brought me a malt. It's the little things that make life good.
You never know when it's going to be your last chance to say goodbye.
