Of Wrecks and Emotions.

Hey y'all. I'm back for a little post. 

I'm sure a lot of you already know this, but on January 6th, 2018, I had a car wreck. My little PT Cruiser (lovingly referred to as Betsy) was totaled (she's frolicking in car heaven), and I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. I won't go into too many details about the wreck, because if we're being completely honest I don't remember parts of it. I will say this, I don't know how I survived it. I broke the wind shield of my car with my head and right arm, I have some pretty wicked cuts and bruises, and what I think is a mild concussion, but through some really good luck I have no broken bones. Knowing that I should probably have died in that accident really puts an interesting perspective on life. While this was not nearly my first near death experience (and likely not my last), this is probably the worst I've ever been injured. I doubt I will forget it anytime soon. 

So let me tell you a few things I've learned. First of all, always wear your seat belt, they aren't kidding when they say it can be the difference between life and death. Second, four rights are better than one left turn. Lastly, I want everyone to know how important it is to tell the people you care about, that you love them. Don't live your life with regrets, cupcakes, it isn't worth it.

I've been struggling for the last couple of months, depression has been kicking my ass, I've talked to the people I care about less, written less, disappeared into the darkness without really letting anyone know. I can't say that I'm not at all depressed now,  but almost dying really does make life seem worth living. Everyone has a purpose, you may not know it yet, but we all do, don't let being depressed take that away from you. 

Now that I was all sappy and emotional, let me lighten the mood. I had my wreck right in front of a Chick Fil A, and I've been craving it ever since, even though I jokingly said I'd never eat there again.

I'm still working to have Code Red out as soon as possible, but with the lack of productivity the last couple of months, and now the couple of weeks of healing ahead of me, I think we're looking at a February release. But worry not, Code Red will be blessing your eyeballs soon enough. 

It's late, and I'm starting to feel my bruises again, so I'm going to wrap this up. Back soon, with new witty remarks. 

Taila Out.
