I Almost Got Hit by a Bus!
I don't mean almost as in it was only a few feet away, I mean almost as in if I had waited to jump back even a split second later, I would have been hit by the damn thing.
I was on my way to therapy and had stepped off the bus to get to the office. I started to walk across the cross walk when this happened. I actually found myself staring to the right at the front of the bus in a very frightening up close and personal way. The bus driver apologized profusely and I stood there thinking, "Holy shit, that was close." What's weird is I wasn't even freaked out. I remember thinking, "Well, that would have been a shitty end to a shitty week."
The guy across the street saw the whole thing and said it freaked him out and he had a feeling it was going to be bad... But then he told me I must have some good luck on my side and that I should buy a lottery ticket. Haha, maybe today was my day to win 10 million dollars (or whatever it's at). Thank god I have fast reflexes. I thank those mammalian instincts. ;)
What's ironic about this is I was just mentioning to a friend that this past week and weekend have been hell. What with all the emotional stuff I've been going through with Dark Huntre and getting sick last night, right before my mom visiting and going to see my grandma who just had surgery (I have to be well to see her)... it's been a struggle. I felt like the Universe was bitch slapping me left and right (yes, deep down I know it's not that personal), and I thought, "What else will go wrong?"
I swear the Universe is really just trying to teach me to let go and see that I can't control a lot of what's going on in my life. Life is hardly about control when you think about it. I just want to release this need to be in control (to feel safe) and just let life take me where I need to be.
I will never joke about being hit buy a bus again.
