tough times tough times

It's been a rough couple of days, I just came back from the hospital to get my injuries checked out, just for the sake of it and to say that I did seek medical attention. It was my first car accident and a bit of a bad one too. Long story short, someone ran a red light and just happened to hit us. My car is completely undrivable.

RIP Toyota Corolla

Basically was my first car, I've been driving it for 3 years with no tickets or accidents until that night, a total clean driving record. I just got it brand new tires, literally 3 days before, a premium car wash 2 days before, and completely filled up with gas that morning. Needless to say I'm a little heartbroken, and no matter how many times I've heard "at least you're not severely hurt" or "cars are replaceable, you're not" it doesn't make me miss it less. Luckily the guy had insurance, so hopefully everything will be paid off and we'll be starting the year with a new car. 

My aunt's letting me borrow my cousin's car at the moment, a really nice Kia Forte. My mom sold my grand piano and is sending me a lot of money, my dad's been helping me with giving advice, and Alex has been sorting most of it out with the guy's insurance company. My friend Tiffany helped by giving me a ride to school the next morning and Mikaela spent the rest of the day after school driving Alex and I to the police station, the tow place to retrieve our things from the car, and then to my aunt's to pick up the Kia. I've never been so thankful for the family and friends that are in my life right now.

We treated Mikaela and her boyfriend out to sushi for helping us out that day, when our conversation lead me to reflect on my own personal qualities.

Me: "So, after school, where do you wanna go? Like where do you wanna work for the rest of your life??"

Mikaela: "I don't know, probably like a cat hospital or a cat clinic. What about you?"

Me: "...Disney's Animal Kingdom...."

I always knew I was ambitious and that I was aiming for a lot, but I never realized just how much until then. In the midst of the accident, I felt lost and hopeless, I already don't have enough money and I couldn't imagine how I could deal with all of this, but even then I still imagined myself in a good place and still doing what I love.

I'm going to watch the Golden Globes now. Bye.
