April 20th Journal

If I’m being honest i would have to say that no I’m certainly not the same or have the same personality when i was younger. I always grew up with people that were older than me , It was rare if i did have a cousin who was my age but not only if i did they were out of state so I hardly saw them. However , I do think that with all the changes I had going on when i got older , I changed a lot. I don’t like to talk about it but when i was younger my parents got separated & I never understood what exactly was going on it was very fuzzy and blurry time for me , It’s definitely a time where I wish I never remembered but for a while I used to have so much anger towards my Father , who left us for another women and this one day , it changed everything. One day in the afternoon my mom and I were headed home & it was very bright for a sunset and this lady who didn’t look on her left , she crashed into us and it was a bad accident. My mom & I were rushed to the hospital and I had some cuts , soreness, etc. It was a very scary situation and my father was called by my sister & I was so happy just seeing him that day , that night. I realized , that life is to short to have any kind of anger or sadness & that i need to appreciate everything and everyone around me. I would probably have to say that , after that day I saw things a lot different , and I began to appreciate everyone a lot more & I feel like that changed me a lot. I can’t really explain how or what , but that tragic event really did change me as a person and my personality for sures.
