It’s Still Fresh in My Mind
It’s been two days, but I can still vividly recall that day. It was a day that brought sadness to the otherwise cheerful environment, as I had planned to go on a trip and spend a lot of time with my friends after the unexpected tragedy.
Do you recall what happened at that particular point in time? We still blow out birthday candles together, eat your mother’s homemade meals, and drink coconut water picked by your father. Oh, how vividly I recall that event. I replied that I was alright after getting off the motorcycle. I was riding on the slick road you chose by accident at the time.
Yes, everything is OK with me. I’m alright, so relax. I did it because I didn’t want to detract from the day’s ostensibly cheerful vibe. Because I didn’t want to appear pathetic in front of you, I instantly jumped up and laughed as hard as I could after I fell. I’m having a good laugh.
How could we fall from such a vehicle on a desolate road?I’m clueless. Our strategy remains the same. Following that, I wasn’t sure whether I should be happy or not because the pain in my leg was still manageable.
I slept as I usually did that night, but my legs were in excruciating pain in the morning. I’m struggling to get around. The discomfort in my leg worsened over the next three days, and I did everything I could to relieve it. It had been a while.
Though I still have a little pain in my leg, the pain is starting to fade. I’ll never forget what happened last year. When I think of that, I want to laugh and cry at the same time. My birthday celebrations got messed up due to an injury that left me with weakened leg muscles. I’m thankful that I’m still able to walk. My life was not over yet.
It’s hard for me to realize that it’s been a year. A lot is going on in my life and I’ve been through it alone. So much has happened in the last year, and I can’t believe I’ve been able to persevere through so much.
Although not much happened two days ago, I am pleased with some of the results. Even if no more cakes are being sent home like last year or the words and prayers you have given me directly or indirectly, I am glad and happy for the growth that has occurred in me to the age that has made me who I am today.
I went to a psychologist for a check-up starting when I had trouble with college assignments, my thesis, and family issues. Oh, it was a challenge. Things that used to happen are gradually improving, and I’m beginning to understand how to respond when they do. At the very least, I’m ready for such circumstances right now.
This year, wishes for a happy birthday came from my family, best friend, and a woman who has been quite helpful to me while I’ve been here. I also had a conversation with a stranger I knew. That is a lot of fun. I’m hoping we can still meet and talk in the coming days. Look after yourself.
