Mini accident

Today was....quite eventful lol oh boy.

I was involved in a mini car accident. Luckily no one was majorly hurt. The guy and I only had minor scraps.


I'll tell the story. I decided to go to the zoo with my sisters. As we were driving I was resting my head near the window but decided to lean more towards the center. As we're coming up to this intersection downtown I see this man on a bike. My sister proceeds through the intersection and the man proceeds through the intersection and comes riding his bike dead onto the door and window where I'm sitting!! The glass of the window shatters all on me and on the seat in the back. Before the impact I tried to warn my sister, and honestly I wasn't even sure if I said anything because suddenly just seeing the glass break in front of my face took me by surprise.

The funny thing is is that I had time to process that something was about to happen.

So anyway, I tell her to pull over to the side and she does. She's the first one to hop out of the car. I'm still a bit in shock, but I move to the other side of the car and get out. When I get out I see two guys standing near the light and I started searching the ground for a body lol but the guy was standing up on the corner with his bike.

Honestly I was seriously worried and I'm so glad he was okay. He only had like two scratches on his side and had tiny bruises on his arm. I had tiny pieces of glass in my hand and wrist. My sisters were perfectly fine and the guy and I had most of the impact lol

Urgh, honestly I've been thinking "there will be some kind of accident" these past few months. I try to avoid thinking that way and push the thought away.But I only think that way because of the way my sister drives. She often text while driving, and despite me constantly telling her not to, she does it anyways. So I don't really like driving with her.

Back to the accident, I'm so happy that it wasn't as bad as it looks. The door on the side I was sitting on was dented up a little and the window was completely smashed. I tried to push out the parts that I could, but there's a chunk dangling.

The guy decided to not press charges.

Honestly it was nothing more than an accident. I guess he couldn't process to brake quick enough. He just came out and slammed into the car. His bike was okay. And he just hopped back on after the ambulance showed up and patched him up.

All I kept thinking was how happy I was that I moved my head a few minutes before it happened.

Ugh, the worst part about things like that is that it kind of sticks with me. Although it's not a car on car collision it really bothers me. I've been hit by a car only once, and I instantly started to wonder if that's how the person felt when they hit me. The difference was that they hit me and I flew over the car lol I was a superhero was a while!

But in all honesty, I was disappointed that my sister kept making a joke of it. I look at this situation very seriously. It could've been worst. Her and my mom started joking on the phone about how many people they have hit and my sister kept constantly saying "I already hit one person today, I'm not afraid to hit another" to pedestrians crossing the street slowly. I'm all for lightheartedness, but that's a situation where you're joking about someone's life.  She even told me she was planning on just driving off after the guy impacted the car.  *sighs* I always imagine if it were a child or friend of mines how it would devastate me to find that someone just did a hit and run. Just take half of the responsibility and learn from the lesson (if it's you and the other person's fault). Perhaps they wanted to make the situation less stressful. No true harm done, right?

Well, we went to the zoo still. Which was a but weird for me at first because of what happened, but I tried to enjoy the trip. Besides that problem, the rest of the day went pretty well. All I can say is I'm happy.I took a few pictures and got some awesome animal model shots lol I pretended the animals were model and I put on my best Aussie accent while filming them. Then we went to get food from a vegetarian restaurant and after that we went for ice cream!

I actually didn't mind getting out of the house today, although it was hot! I try to avoid the sun and heat. I like to go out when it's around 5-ish because the sun is not has harsh.

But I do wonder why my side of the car?? lol Well, I'm still alive and that's great. It was a bit surreal, but hm...maybe it's a lesson on being aware of your surroundings. I really hope that guy stops at all stop lights before crossing. He said he was only looking at the walk-sign. Well, that's certainly no good.

Even at a red light I make sure to check before crossing. Sometimes people may drive through not seeing that the light is red. I'm cautious in that situation as well.

This is the second accident I've been in, and the third life threatening event I've been in in my life thus far lol My body might be like "wait...not yet. I still got stuff to do" lol


Realllyyy sleepy. Time to head to bed!

See you in the next blog :)
