This was a long time comming
In my 6 years of driving I felt like I had been pretty lucky saftey wise. Tonight that ended, and if it hadn't been for my seat belt and airbag, I probably would not be able to write this right now, if ever.
So I was on my way home from a long day of work, I decided to take Route 1 instead of the interstate to get home because I wasn't sure if I had enough of a balance on my easy pass. It was a pretty calm night, I had just put down the window because I needed the breeze, i was about to cross over the Scarborough marsh, when all i can remember is the air bags deploying and my car crashing to a sudden stop. Realizing i just ran into someone from behind I raced out of my car to check on them, it was only one person and she seemed fine, but was complaining about a head injury. It seemed like I should have been worse off, my car was WRECKED! Then again, i don't think i'll really feel anything untill tomorrow. I was brought into the ambulance and they checked my vitals, everything was fine except for the fact that they found out that my blood sugar was horribly high, like twice the normal level. which means potential diabetes. Of all things that could have happened to me, i think that was probably the worst. I have insurance, it should cover all the womans costs and get me money for a new car, I feel confident that she wont sue, a witness was there, and said that she had stopped really short at the red light, I had no time to react. The officers were really helpful, and they didn't ticket me, which really works in my favor.
This whole incident has been a catalyst. I have to change my life, I can't sit around anymore. I love everyone around me, I feel like i've taken everyone around me that can stand me for granted. It's one of those things where if i had chosen differently this wouldn't have happened and I wouldn't be here right now typing this. I guess the only way to get gears in motion is to give it a good jolt, I think I got mine. . . .
