It has been a while since my last post, and to be honest, a lot has happened. I think its always a good idea to start a story at... the beginning, so I will do so. : P The first big thing to happen to me was a real bummer. About a month ago, I got in a car accident. I was turning at an intersection, and someone ran a red light, going about 40 and T-boned me. Fortunately, they hit my passenger side, and fortunately, I drive almost always with my window down, so instead of my head smashing into the window of my car, my body flew out my window, and then my seat belt dragged me back into the car, totally unharmed. My car was however completely unable to drive, and totaled. I had to get it towed, and within a few days the insurance found the accident the other drivers fault and I was compensated with money! YAY! Seriously though I don't have a car and that fucking sucks. I have been trying to find a car to buy buy have high standards for my money and very little off time to look for one so I am still car-less. I am seriously missing my independence right now. : (
So, after all that, I figured my life would turn for the better. Apparently not. I then proceeded to lose my debit card. Sucked, but no big deal. Canceled it, got a new one. Go me! Right? WRONG! Next thing I know, I'm unable to sleep due to the immense pain in my left eye. I stay up all night calling optometrists, trying to find anyone who will take me in the morning or right then. I find one eventually, and wait up all night to go in. The doctor takes a look at me, gives me some tests and tells me that I have both an infection in my eye, due to my contacts (rare but apparently just happens sometimes) and ALSO that I have a small ulcer in my eye and that its good I came in or I could have gone blind. WOOT! So... my eye is swollen shut and in pain for the next week or so, as I take medicated eye drops, and now the ulcer is healed and the infection is gone. I do still have a scar on my eye that blurs my shitty vision even more, so I am on ore drops and unable to wear contacts for the next 2 weeks. I just hope it gets smaller and I can see back to normal after that.
About 4 days ago I started getting sick, and throwing up and just genuinely feeling like shit. I have just been trucking through that on my own, but I think I am on the up and up from that one right now too. I would like to take this opportunity to say to the universe, I am sorry if I ever offended you, and please leave me alone. :P That being said, I have heard from several friends that "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger". With this I truly agree. It is in my times of hardship and strife (I just want all of you to know I just accidentally typed "hardshit and strife" and that should be a word) that I tend to find greater meaning and strength in my life. It is my firm belief that when "bad" things happen to me, it is God giving me an opportunity to grow, or to learn something from it. For this reason, I also welcome this seemingly horrible month, and have learned a great deal of things about myself. :) I encourage all for you, my friends who read this, to look at your hardships the same way. If something in your life sucks, it is God either challenging you to learn and improve, or He is only doing this to help you in some way in the future. Maybe I will meat my wife to be because of this car accident? I have NO IDEA, and will continue to trust that this shitty month is all a part of His plan for me, and welcome it with open arms. Thanks for listening (or reading) to me preach at you, and I hope this can somehow inspire you too look at life the way I try to. Miss you all and come visit meeee! : )
