You know how they say that before you die, your life flashes before your very own eyes? Well, it’s not true. Want to know why? Because everything literally happens in a matter of seconds, and just like that, your life comes to an end.

This past weekend I was involved in a car accident. Fortunately for me, no major damage was done. But if I’m being quite honest with you, I don’t think I would be here right now if it wasn’t for God and the angels that I have up there taking care of me.

Living through something like this really puts life into perspective for you.

For starters, it makes you think about all of the stuff you haven’t gotten to experience yet.

- I haven’t traveled the world.

- I haven't written and published my very own book.

- I haven’t gotten married and given birth to beautiful mixed babies.

- I haven’t built a career for myself and become successful enough to provide my family with the lifestyle that they truly deserve.

I mean sure, I lived a great life throughout these 19 years that God has blessed me with, but I want more. I deserve more. And I can only hope God provides me with the opportunity to experience just that.

A situation like this also makes you think about your relationships with the people in your life.

It makes you realize that maybe you should’ve made amends with someone before you left their lives for good.

Because if you ever meant anything to them, losing you (for good) will break them. Trust me. I’ve seen it happen first hand.

So my advice to you would be to take what happened to me as a lesson. Always be the bigger person. Life’s LITERALLY too short.

Please remind your loved ones that they’re loved. Please remind the people that you no longer associate yourself with that you forgive them. For whatever the reason may be. I know, trust me, I know that it’s easier to just say "fuck them" and move on, but don’t. Provide them, but most importantly yourself, with peace of mind. ❤
