Near death experiences

Most of us come to this site to share our thoughts and feelings with regards to our life, especially those related to our struggles. Struggles that in many cases push us to consider suicide. Such struggles can be because of what we’ve done and/or what has happened to us.

I would like to take time to talk about close encounters with death. Many times, we could have died but did not. I remember two close experiences. One, I was walking as a pedestrian crossing a street. The small stick figure indicated that it was my turn to cross. I made my way moving from my sidewalk to the other sidewalk when a car almost hit me. I couldn’t move by the shock. He stopped right in front me, and I was slightly touched by the bumper. I snapped out of my shock and continued walking. It was definitely scary, but I guess it wasn’t my time yet.

Another experience was during vacations at a river. I was bathing with some friends. I decided to try tubing. It was my first time. I remembered as I was going my tube hit a bit rock and it flipped. I was left by myself fending off the rocks. I was trying to avoid them from hitting my head. I received multiple hits to my legs. I remember they had many bruise and I couldn’t walk without pain for a day. I did not die again.

It is rather perplexing, when you think about it. Why am I still alive and kicking? Is there more to my life?  Am I suppose to do something?. I’ve met many people in my life. Some I have impacted positively. Others probably negative. I always say that all of us have our times of light, and our times of darkness. We are all humans. We make mistakes, but we also are capable of successes.
