Rebirth

February 06, 2011

I can't stop thinking about it. Everytime I close my eyes, the taunting image of the incident keeps replaying. I don't want to think about it, but I can't help it. This is the first near death experience I've ever had. It's so overwhelming and scary and fast and... crazy. It came out of no where. Driving on a snowy road, not that bad but still slippery. One minute we're driving perfectly, the next we're off the road and by attemping to get back on, the car started skidding. Not once, but 3 times. If not, 4. During that moment, in my head all I could think of is.. nothing. I was scared and screaming. I was crying. I guess in the last few minutes I was thinking that this was it. This was the end and that we were all going to die. My whole family. This wasn't the first time for my mom though. She's been in an accident, but worse. Her car crashed and rolled over 3 times, but luckily she's a live. You want to hear the scariest part? It happened on the same road. Not same exact spot, but the same road. I started panicing and my mom started yelling "Oh god, what's happening!?" I was holding on with my life to the handle at the back of the front seat. But what was that going to do? After my dad got control of the car and steered back, the car turned around (facing the opposite direction) and the car finally stopped. At that moment, I was happy. It meant that we weren't going to die or crash into any incoming cars. Thankfully, there were no cars around while this happened. When we stopped, a car was driving by and noticed and started driving slowly. At this time, I was still crying saying "I want to go home. Drive home please!" I just wanted to get back home, safely. To reassure that everything was going to be okay. And it is. I'm so thankful my whole family is a live and I appreciate the people who cared about me and my family's safety. It means so much and it makes me think about life in a whole new perspective. That always happens to people. When a near death experience occurs or something creates a big impact on others, it tends to change their perpective, their thinking and changes their actions and behavior, for the better. Although everything is okay, I'm still emotional and fragile. I'm scared. But I'm going to be okay. It just takes time until I'm used to it and hopefully everytime I close my eyes, I won't see it anymore.
