have you ever had something happen 2 u, that u thought meant sonething bigger, higher...like a premonition or something???
(If u havent, please smile and nod and pretend that u have while u read my journal...)
Well, on friday, something happened 2 me. Something that got me thinking on a spiritual level, or something.
strangely enough, this didnt envole out-of-body experiences or meditating near a babbling brook....
it happened in a k-mart parking lot.
Now before u start laughing, im totally being serious, and quite frankly... being this mellow frightens me.(since i usually act like i just snorted 20 pixie sticks...but I degress...)
im auditioning for CATZ at my school, and in the audition, we need 2 sing a song from said musical.
so, my mom takes me 2 kmart 2 get the CD, but the parking lot is JAMM PACKED, so she drops me off at the curb so she can find a parking spot.
only... its that curb BEFORE the entrance, so its like another little street u have to cross before u get to the door. (oh, i dont know if im making any sense, so please bear w/ me)
So, im going to run across the little street, and im halfway there when i hear a long (and VERY loud) honk to the left of me. i turn to look, and i see a SUV barraling at about 40 mpr toward me.
I pannick but im frozen, quite literally, like a deer in the headlights. the person slams on there brakes at the last minute, and stops (not even joking) about a foot away from me.
i was totally frozen and after getting after the complete horror, ran like a terrified squirrel into the store, where my knees buckled under me, and i had to babble to myself to keep from fainting.
Maybe to someone else, this sounds like nothing. but i really do feel like right then, it was very very possible that i was supposed to die, and it was dumb luck that the lady in the SUV put on her brakes at the last minute. but, i may just be over reacting.
And now, frankly, knowing the fact that my number just might have been up that day in the k-mart parking lot.... ive gotton a wake-up call.
lately, ive been wrapped up in negativity and such, that i really havent taken a good look around me, enjoyed life.
so now im going to tell every one of my friends tomorrow that i love them, and give them a huge hug.
its funny how looking in the face of death (or maybe being just SERIOUSLY injured) can open up someones eyes.
