I was so unharmed it was almost ridiculous. Unharmed despite having hit a truck, having totalled my partner’s car. It made me look upon my life anew, with a fresh set of eyes. The things I’d taken for granted suddenly seemed very clear and true. Not because I lived, but because I didn’t die. This may sound strange, but I really felt it wasn’t my time to go. I thought: maybe there was some purpose left in me. I wanted to believe that, and to pursue it.
