Cliché
Well this may sound like a huge cliché but I guess it really doesn't matter since this is my personal Live Journal and I'm entitled to write whatever I want. I was in a car accident last Saturday night with two of my friends and it all got me thinking a bit about how lucky I am because when we thought about all the ways the car could've crashed that night at least one of us would end up dead and instead I'm sitting here, relaxed and confortable at home, typing these words down with only a slight neck ache and a few marks on my arms.
I don't want to get into long and detailed descriptions but basically the road was very wet, it was late at night and the visibility wasn't good. We lost control of the car, it started drifting a few times and it made a more than 180º turn, we hit the sidewalk with the weel, the car flew of the ground and we crashed into a tree. None of us got hurt luckily. We could've hit a little wall if we had missed the tree, in which case the car would've capsised and fall into a ditch (a really bad situation when you're in the back seat without a seatbelt, which was my case). I don't even want to list all the possibilities...let's just say that I should be tetraplegic by now, at least. Instead I'm here, just a bit sore with my neck aching a bit. Oh, and the car's an old Opel Corsa...even the Lego cars I had when I was a kid were stronger than that...just imagine how the car was after the impact.
It all made me think we should calm down, seriously. We've been pushing the limit a bit too much lately, even with things we should not be playing with. Maybe that's why I decided to give this LJ a new chance and start writing again, made me more introspective I guess. I really don't know. What matters is being alive and well (didn't I say this would end up as a big cliché?).
Hope everything is okay with you guys.
Stay cool.
